These skills were originally introduced in capstone design courses.Some skills are now introduced in a sophomore level engineering design course and a freshmancourse. This paper introduces the issues and our approaches.1. IntroductionThe current generation of college students, who were born in 1990’s, grew up with personalcomputers, the Internet, and other digital “gadgets”. They use text messages, IM (instantmessage), e-mail, and cell phones to communicate with their peers every day. They also sharetheir lives by posting messages and uploading digital photos to social

, engineering education is builton a foundation of sciences and mathematics courses, with students taking engineering courses in their upper years, with fewstudents experiencing design outside of a focused course in their discipline. In the 1990's, in response to. accreditation criteria,most engineering schools added a “capstone” design project in the final year. These projects are meant to be complex, have a“real world” flavor, and are often multi-disciplinary. In some cases, there are industrial sponsors and students work closely withpracticing engineers. As engineering education has evolved in the last decade, the concept of a “cornerstone” or first-year engineering designproject has been added. The goal of these projects to give students early

The proposed experimental setup is shown in Figure 2. A cylindrical quadrant is hingedat the axis of it. It has two concentric cylindrical surfaces such that the pressure forces on thesesurfaces pass through the center of the quadrant that causes zero moment. The entire quadrant isproposed to be made using a 3D printer. The quadrant will be placed in a fish tank. Rod andhinge
