The program has established three educationalgoals: (1) To instill in students a classroom/laboratory basic education in mechanical engineeringtechnology fundamentals. (2) To develop in students the skills required to apply engineeringfundamentals to the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of mechanical engineering technologyproblems. (3) To foster in students personal development to ensure a lifetime of professionalsuccess and an appreciation for the ethical and social responsibilities of a mechanicalengineering technologist and a world citizen.

Moreover, a sense of enablement to use project planning (in and out of the classroom)was expressed.As continued efforts to this case study, the author is planning to refine and scale this model for furtherdevelopment as a stand-alone module intended to be used for deploying PM methods to STEM basedcurriculums. Options would include factoring the degree of industry participation, scope, andcomplexity. Finally, this module is planned to be offered as an OER (Open Education Resource)STEM resource for anyone looking to add authentic industry PM practices to their instruction---rangingfrom a laboratory course to a full scale dedicated capstone or PBL course.

, beam structural elements are often a critical design component,and it is not surprising that beam stresses and deflections are fundamental course topics inall undergraduate mechanical and civil engineering degree programs. In the MechanicalEngineering Department at RIT, students are introduced to beam bending and deflectionin a second-year strength of materials course (MECE 203). The approach is a traditionalone, starting with pure beam bending, followed with transverse loading leading to theconstruction of shear-moment diagrams. Torsion of beams of circular cross-section isalso covered. The discussion concludes with the derivation of beam deflection usingEuler-Bernoulli beam theory assuming uniform flexural rigidity.

This presented an easy,last minute subject for the flow visualization project that required very little preparation on thepart of the students who chose it. In general the images were of low to moderate quality in termsof the aesthetics, and the seriousness of the reflections followed this general trend. Anothercommon theme for the flow visualization images was, unsurprisingly, coffee. The two samplesof this topic in Figure 1 show the range in image quality. The image of the coffee pot was poorlycomposed and the flow was difficult to observe from the image. In contrast, the image of thecoffee cup with the

microfluidics technology was advanced rapidly in the last few years and gained greatattention from various universities, research centers and industrial laboratories working on theplant cells. Using microfluidics will open up new possibilities in the plants and agro-industry,including new microfluidic products and techniques, creating new generations of smart agricultureproducts, and so on. The main problems that engineers are facing include the primary gaps amongthe researchers, lab-scale experiments, and manufacturability. This new opportunity will advancethe technology in agriculture and other disciplines. Also, there are some needs to develop standardsand validation for the microfluidic systems, convincing evidence for manufacturing profitability

The system also allows users to use non-humanoid character representation if they choose to do so.All objects and 3D information are streamed in real-time to all clients.
