students using Project-Based Sequential Learning ApproachAbstractIn this work, we described project-based multi-objective sequential learning modules and theteaching strategy of the machine design subject for undergraduate mechatronics engineeringstudents. The suggested approach introduced the design procedures and concepts using a singlemulti-level design problem as a semester-long project. The students worked in teams to completedesign modifications using new and enhanced design concepts and tools during the semester. AnExcel spreadsheet for the design analysis was created by each team and was upgradedrepetitively during the course to achieve new design specifications and criteria. In addition, thestudents built a numerical model

Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored project that asked West Pointcadets to design a system that would sustain SquadX in a dense urban combat environment forup to 72 hours. A multi-disciplinary team of Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering,Engineering Management, and Defense Strategic Studies students embarked on this designchallenge during the 2017-2018 academic year. The team quickly realized the need to betterunderstand the dense urban operating environment. To remedy this gap, the faculty at WestPoint collaborated with the Industrial Design department at the Rhode Island School of design(RISD) to create an intensive, two-day experience that allowed both West Point cadets and RISDstudents the opportunity to better understand the

These projects are large-scale in terms of money and time and contain significantuncertainties over their life-cycle, with fluctuations in input and output costs. Due to theseuncertainties, there are conditional opportunities (e.g., on prices) to make critical decisions
