example of an idea for anew function in an existing open-source software, or, as we mentioned above, the idea ofa new article that needs writing in Wikipedia as classic examples of the conception. Thedevelopment of that new software feature or the actual writing of that new article mightthen be done by the person who proposed the idea; or it could be implemented by someother individual.    The second peer production characteristic, “the harnessing of diverse motivations,”suggests that while some participants are motivated by pay, there are many others whoparticipate for other non-monetary reasons, such as user-centered need,4 enjoyment or“serious leisure”,5 the intrinsic desire to learn, and/or support for “freedom philosophies”that underlie

abilities as an engineer. PBL increases student retentionrates and allow students to form useful connections between content of the course and problemsexpected to be encountered in their future careers in engineering.In MET1161, three design projects related to (i) molding, (ii) forming, and (iii) machiningprocesses were assigned. Students were also asked to write a technical paper and perform apresentation in the class. Students were free to choose their own product. They started theirproject with an existing product/part and they redesigned the part to improve it for the predefinedconditions. Students also decided for the manufacturing process and tools required tomanufacture the part. Sub steps were (i) describing the product/part, (ii) listing

And if education is about the ‘lighting of a flame not the filling of a pail’—weshould be putting the tools of discovery, invention and fabrication at the fingertips of everychild—inside and outside of the classroom.”The maker culture typically emphasizes “informal, networked, peer-led, and shared learningmotivated by fun and self-fulfillment.” [2] It has grown up outside of formal learning structures,but many educational institutions are now actively seeking ways to adopt this culture
