Most of the teams have three students, and students’ preferences have shifted inthe past years from having more interest on internal projects (i.e., no industry involvement) tohaving projects where an industry sponsor is involved. Among the many benefits andresponsibilities that industry sponsored projects provide, one specific benefit is the opportunityto emphasize to the students that engineering design is more than just doing the calculations thatwere typically done in the classroom.Faculty members need to search and request projects from their network

Overall, the student population diversity in this class was immenselybeneficial. The different experience levels and perspectives allowed for lively discussion and awide range of issues and potential solutions. By sharing their experiences with one another, thestudents learned from each other’s mistakes and triumphs not only as related to graduate schoolbut also to their personal life.

During the period of late1970’s to the early 1990’s the department of Manufacturing Technology offered a Manufacturingoption as part of the MET program. Because of declining enrollments in the MET programduring the early 1990’s the Manufacturing option was discontinued. However as a part of theMET curriculum many of the manufacturing option courses have been continuously offeredsince that time.

The evaluatorpredefines each function at different levels (e.g. high, medium and low) based on the type of theideas expected. The ideas falling in the corresponding level for each function receives a noveltyscore (e.g., High-10, Medium-5, Low-1). A novelty score for each idea can be calculated byassigning weights for each function and aggregating for an overall value. Novelty a posteriorican be calculated by counting the number of occurrences for the same idea for each function.The novelty score (S) for each function’s idea can be calculated using the formula: ܶ െ‫ܥ‬

This is apparent in the different models of PBL implementation throughout the world. Therefore, there is no one –size-fits-all approach to PBL that can simply beimplemented from one institution to another 20.
