PBL is not the only method to enhance students’learning. Indeed, educators have experimented with novel approaches (mostly computer-based)to try to do just that5,6,7,8. However, as mentioned above, PBL is generally considered a morerigorous approach that is proven to enforce concept learning in students. In mechanics courses,this is usually done by assigning design project(s) to groups of students9,10. Such design projectsare by definition open-ended and have no unique answer or

The students who are interested in gaining industrial experience are placed with one ofthe industrial partners, matching the student’s capabilities with the needs of the partner. Amentor or supervisor from the firm is designated to guide the student through the assignedproject(s). In addition to the industrial mentor, a faculty advisor from the BME program isassigned to monitor the student’s activities at the industrial site, and to interface with thestudent’s industrial mentor. The faculty advisor plays a dual role. First, he or she ensures that theproject assigned to the intern will be beneficial to the student and contain scientific andengineering challenges that are

Using the sketches and other data, the students make solidgeometric computer models of each part of the assembly. The parts are then assembled andmated together to illustrate the whole mechanical system. At this point a kinematics simulationof the mechanical assembly could be made. The students next generate .STL files of eachindividual part. These .STL files are transferred to the JP System 5 prototyping system andphysical mock-ups of the parts are constructed. To culminate the experience, the team producesorthographic engineering drawings of the parts.All of these graphical image s and documentation are arranged into a final written
