Although fundamental laboratories courses are provided to establish students’hands-on experiences and consolidate connection between theoretical background and practicalimplementation, students still have difficulties to incorporate multidisciplinary knowledge intosolving a real engineering problem in a more systematic way. Therefore, a one-year project-oriented capstone course, Special Topics in Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering,has been available at the junior year for undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanicaland Electro-Mechanical Engineering, National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU), Taiwan.In 2003, Ministry of Education (MOE) of Taiwan (Republic of China) revealed the White Paperon Creative Education

Learning Elements3.1. Project-Based Learning in a Laboratory EnvironmentA widely used pedagogical tool in STEM classrooms is PBL.4 One key attribute of PBL is“doing something” to “learn about something,” instead of the usual classroom teaching withsingular focus on “learning about something.” This interactive technique allows teachers tocapture students’ attention by finding an element of fun in the task they are

In the project with VML mechanics of material module, first, studentswill capture a digital video image of a plate-shaped elastic object subjected to a plane-stressloading with a high-resolution digital camera that is widely available nowadays. Subsequentlyin the computer laboratory, students will select target region of interest (ROI) to “measure” thepixel displacement and material deformation within the ROI, using the digital motion trackingalgorithm termed “Digital Image Correlation (DIC)” algorithm built in the VML
