Elevate Hardcase, Caleb J. Bailey, Colby M. Cordoba, Marissa Mccleod, Shaan Sandhu
Elevate Hardcase, Caleb J. Bailey, Colby M. Cordoba, Marissa Mccleod, Shaan Sandhu
Mechanical Engineering
The Elevate Hardcase project developed a portable mechanical elevation system that allows users to access rugged hard cases at a comfortable working height without needing a separate table or placing the case on uneven ground. The design focuses on improving ergonomics, portability, stability, and quick setup for users in field environments such as photography, hunting, and maintenance. Through customer research, concept development, prototyping, analysis, and testing, the final system was designed to support a loaded hard case, provide height adjustability, remain stable on uneven terrain, and be deployed by a single user in under five minutes. The final prototype demonstrates …

Power At Sea Develop Phase, Jake Lauer, Isabella Heinemann, Bailey Gargasz, Zachery Boyer
Mechanical Engineering
This project develops a renewable, wave-powered charging system designed to extend the mission duration of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles by eliminating the need for frequent manual battery replacement. Building upon a prior oscillating water column prototype from the CONCEPT phase, the team redesigned and tested an improved system capable of converting wave-induced air motion into electrical power using a Wells turbine. Key enhancements include doubling the column diameter to increase displaced air volume, integrating a flared inlet and bi-directional nozzle to improve airflow, and selecting corrosion-resistant materials suitable for long-term deployment in marine environments. Multiple prototypes were constructed and evaluated through …
50 Years Of Irrigation District Modernization In The Usa -- Then And Now, Charles M. Burt
50 Years Of Irrigation District Modernization In The Usa -- Then And Now, Charles M. Burt
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
Irrigation district modernization in the USA has seen changes in management attitudes, hardware, software, and the shouldering of responsibilities for environmental issues that were never envisioned fifty years ago. The pace of modernization is quite variable depending upon the state and location within the state. This paper provides some insights into the evolution of several aspects of modernization over that fifty year time span.
Lost On The Moon: A Classroom Activity For Bringing Group Processes To Life, Christin L. Munsch, Allison Lena, Kay Sassan
Lost On The Moon: A Classroom Activity For Bringing Group Processes To Life, Christin L. Munsch, Allison Lena, Kay Sassan
Feminist Pedagogy
This teaching activity reviews key concepts in group processes and introduces students to Expectation States Theory (EST) and Status Characteristics Theory (SCT), two micro-sociological frameworks that explain how inequality of opportunity emerges in task-oriented small groups with consequences for unequal outcomes. The activity is built around a team-building exercise “Lost on the Moon” in which participants rank 15 survival items individually and then in small groups. We adapt this exercise by taking field notes on group interactions and drawing on these notes to facilitate a discussion in which students critically reflect on their interactions with one another. We close the …

Using Status Characteristics Theory To Predict A Jury Foreperson, Mohona Mandal, Shane Thye
Feminist Pedagogy
The topic of social inequality as it relates to status structures is a foundational topic taught in many courses in contemporary sociology. Today the theory of status characteristics and expectation states (SCT) is the predominant account of the causes and effects of status stratification in groups. The purpose of this paper is to share a classroom exercise that explicates the connections between SCT and critical theory, specifically intersectionality as an analytic framework. Using only the basic theoretical assumptions, students apply the underlying logic of SCT to predict who was selected as the jury foreperson based on brief biographies of each …

From Awareness To Action: The Group Processes Course As Design Laboratory, Kimberly B. Rogers
From Awareness To Action: The Group Processes Course As Design Laboratory, Kimberly B. Rogers
Feminist Pedagogy
In this article, I describe several pedagogical tools used in my group processes course to help students understand how group processes contribute to inequality and how to effectively intervene on these processes. I pair experimental research with work in natural settings to help students trace the development of theories across levels of application and understand their usefulness outside the laboratory. I incorporate reading reflections and simulation exercises that encourage students to apply course material to their own group experiences and make abstract group processes and their consequences more visible for analysis and action. I use complex instruction to promote more …
Showing Students Their Power: Demonstrating How Status Is Afforded In Interactions, Christianne Corbett
Showing Students Their Power: Demonstrating How Status Is Afforded In Interactions, Christianne Corbett
Feminist Pedagogy
The Showing Students their Power original teaching activity conveys to students in a visceral, embodied – and therefore hopefully memorable - way the concept of status, how it is afforded by others, and how quickly and accurately individuals perceive the status with which others view them. Students are informed that characteristics like gender, race, class, sexual orientation are status characteristics and that people who are viewed as lower status tend to be treated less respectfully. By identifying the existence of status, how it is conveyed from person to person, and the power we all have to influence other people, students …
The Adapted Socratic Circle As A Tool For Learning Sociological Social Psychology, Justin Huft
The Adapted Socratic Circle As A Tool For Learning Sociological Social Psychology, Justin Huft
Feminist Pedagogy
This paper presents an adapted Socratic Circle as a feminist pedagogical strategy for teaching sociological social psychology. Unlike traditional Socratic methods that often privilege rapid recall, professorial authority, and dominant communication styles, this approach reimagines the circle as a collective practice of creating and applying knowledge. Students alternate between inner and outer groups, engaging both as discussants and evaluators, while formal assessment is distributed equally across professor, peers, and self-evaluations. This multi-source structure decentralizes authority, resists meritocratic norms, and affirms students as co-creators of knowledge. The feminist commitments of the activity are threefold. First, it centers process over product by …

Disrupting Conversational Patterns In Classroom Discussion Groups, Jennifer Mcleer, Vyoma Shah
Feminist Pedagogy
Classroom work groups serve many pedagogical purposes. Here, we focus on their function as spaces to witness, name, and disrupt the processes by which micro-level interactions reflect macro-level inequalities. We use theory and research from small group processes as the foundation to understand the strategies that educators can employ to change how groups run in order to disrupt status-laden participation differentials between categories of students. We argue that modeling and normalizing different ways of being in small groups gives students perspective on how established procedures of interaction contribute to problems of hierarchy and hegemony. By implementing the findings of group …
