Collaborative Learning (e.g. PBLs) have been widelyused in the engineering curriculum [1]. Project/problem based activities have been implementedto help students learn new concepts faster. In this methodology, a question or problem is used todrive the students’ learning activities to produce a product that can be used in real world. PBL isused to prepare students with skills such as leadership, team building, ethical behavior,creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving [2]. PBL has been implemented as part of thecurriculum or as a replacement of the traditional classroom.EMLs are either designed independently or used by modifying existing pedagogy techniquessuch as SBL or ACL. EMLs can be implemented either as single homework assignment or as

following ABET studentoutcomes: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) anability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; and (c) anability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realisticconstraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability. Each type of course module will be categorized into threedifferent levels, including freshmen (entry level), junior/senior (mid-level), and graduate students(advanced level). The course modules will cover both lecture and project. For manufacturingrelated material standards course module, the three levels include:1) Entry level

ethics, effective communication, and team-work to enable them tobecome successful engineers.From that, also linking the class with the ABET requirement, the following learning outcomeswere proposed for the course: 1. The ability to apply the knowledge and tools learned in the undergraduate curriculum. 2. The ability to use constraint based engineering design process to generate design options. 3. The ability to design and conduct engineering experiments in support of design or development using literature search. 4. Ability to select appropriate tools. 5. The ability to form a team and to participate effectively, communicating clearly, and managing a task oriented project. 6. Effective individual and team communication

crucial component of engineering education. It is outlined in ABET’s courseoutcomes criteria “ c” that students should have “an ability to design a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.”4 The inclusion of aprototype in the design process helps to improve the final design. Witnessing the results andlearning through failure in the earlier design phase minimizes loss in the later stages of productdevelopment. Creating a physical prototype can be an effective way to observe and assess ideasbefore implementing production.In these programs, renewable energy lab exercises have become an essential
