In the MET session they discussed requirements for mounting the solar cellarrays and investigated strength and elasticity parameters for support beams. The IT session wasa lively activity to demonstrate the benefits of lean manufacturing processes using nuts, bolts,and washers. The Careers session was similar to the one from 2010, and the Campus Lifesession was described above.We notified the local media the day before the conference, but only one affiliate came for the2011 conference.

These delayed the PBL design process, andshifted much of the design work to the end of the semester, overwhelming and frustrating thestudents.To overcome these difficulties, a PBL project with a guided design method was introduced in thefall semesters of 2009 and 2010. The guided design component permitted us to introduce threefundamental parts of an FM or an AM transmitter/receiver circuit to guide the students in thedesign of their circuits.The PBL project with the guided design component “PBGD” added a fifth objective:e) To guide the students’ learning with experiences that build on
