oftrigonometry [3]. The role of trigonometry in engineering education cannot be overemphasized. Having a strong trigonometric background when leaving high schoolis a must [2]. Trigonometry links several areas of math including algebra,geometry, and graphing functions. It must also be mastered before attemptingcalculus.Forming a strong foundation in pedagogical content knowledge [4] is critical inrelating trigonometry to students. This was first realized to recognize teaching aprofession. Educators must be able to change their style and methods of teaching toaccommodate a vast array of student learners and a vast array student mathematicalability.Pedagogical content knowledge among educators can be very different from theiractual mathematical knowledge

To enhance studentengagement and efficacy in mastering CAD techniques and engineering design principles, weuse a pedagogical approach rooted in Project-Based Learning and Collaborative Learning. Byembarking on a semester-long project centered around the construction of mini-worlds, studentsare empowered to take ownership of their learning, while collaborative endeavors instill vitalcommunication and teamwork skills. In the subsequent sections, we discuss the design and implementation of the FORMcurriculum.

CAD in this course is that itallowed students with experience to show their skills and then jump into learning something new,while students without experience were able to take their time and learn the material at their ownpace with the options of different instructional tools. The mastery technique also allows studentsto learn from failure, as the assessments of each skill they were mastering could be repeated asmany times as the student needed without penalty to their grade.Course DescriptionThe course in which the mastery learning technique was implemented is called Introduction toEngineering Design. The course is taken by all first-year engineering students regardless of theirdesired engineering specialty. The class consists of two 1-hour
