A Toy-FUN-damentals first-year seminar course has been taught at the UniversityPark campus, and it has ‘proven to increase retention of women in the College ofEngineering’. At the Abington campus, we have developed a modified version of thiscourse, using Power Wheels® cars to illustrate engineering principles. Our overall projectinvolves students in two existing courses -- Engineering Design (EDSGN 100-forfreshmen students) and a sophomore-level Computer Engineering laboratory course indigital design (CMPEN 275). This paper will outline the educational outcomes and contributions of each classin the analysis and

That necessitates them to carefully examine their bridge’struss, which led them to better comprehend why the trusses are constructed the way they are.It has been observed that students enjoy and learn better from laboratory lectures when they areconnected together as a single project rather than a discrete set of unrelated exercises8. By meansof the bridge design project, students did not only perform an experiment with beams and loadcells but they used those equipments to test and improve their designs. They also had theopportunity to observe some reasons that caused the calculated and the measured values to bedifferent

The portion of the EDSGNcourse under study involves multiple student design projects—one lasting two weeks andanother lasting 3 weeks. CBIOS is taught to all engineering technology students in their junioryear. It consists of a common lecture for all sections of the course and separate laboratoryexperience for each section with a maximum of 16 students per section—76 students in 5laboratory sections. For this work, the final two laboratory projects served as test period.Table 1 shows the breakdown of the basic data for participants and team makeup.

From the identification of a research problem to the development of aworking prototype, the collaborative studio/laboratory reinforces creative and critical thinkingwith an emphasis on human, technological, and aesthetic aspects of product development. Thisapproach to undergraduate education can provide constructive and authentic learning experiencesto meet the industry needs.

For example, Harris Inc. asked for theinvolvement of students from the Electrical/Computer Engineering (ECE) department and theMechanical Engineering (ME) department to work together on mechatronics-related projects. AirForce Research Laboratory (AFRL) has requested the inclusion of Industry Engineering (IE)students for their familiarity of the manufacturing process especially, the use of moderncomposite materials processing technique developed by the IE department of the College.For many years we have made attempts to integrate cross-disciplinary engineering students in ourprojects with little success as a

ofimportant behaviors. Recommendations include incorporating a professional spine in thecurriculum, whereby students may have an opportunity to integrate their knowledge in acontextual environment. A second recommendation outlines the need for students to makeconnections between theory and practice and to develop the thinking skills required forengineering practice. This requires an inductive, as opposed to a deductive, approach to teachingand learning.The integration of professional identity, knowledge and skills requires that students have anopportunity to experience engineering practice, through so-called approximations to practice.Often this means exposing students to laboratory or design project teaching methods (they aredifferent).

The initial design course utilized the projects toexperientially develop important skillsets, such as the design process, project management,verbal communication, teamwork, social considerations, and the application of scientific andmathematic principles. These skills were expected to be developed by the students, with
