Furthermore, many universitieshave implemented a variety of programs that employ high impact retention approaches,including advising, mentoring, active learning, student engagement, and other support services.[10-14]. While there are many causes that result in low graduation rates, it is more likely thatrates could be improved if students are well-prepared for college and have clear future careergoals.

Often, the class becomes compartmentalizedto focus on one mechanical element at a time. While initially effective, allowing students totarget their efforts and study habits, it can be detrimental if no strong connections are builtbetween the different learning modules at the end of the class.This paper presents a case-study of a unique and highly engaging

ABET's Criterion 3, Outcome 6, emphasizes thedevelopment of critical thinking skills in graduates. This outcome requires them to design andconduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and apply engineering judgment to reach well-supported conclusions. While many engineering students demonstrate strong understanding ofengineering systems and the ability to approach problem-solving however most of them fail toharness their ideas into a functional (practical) design. For this reason lab or project activities areoften attached or integrated into engineering courses. Classroom lectures tend to focus more onthe
