As freshmen, for the most part they also bring limited technical knowledge and designexperience into the classroom.We thus face a challenge of trying to provide a clear, structured first design experience for students,but one that is also open-ended enough to allow for students to grapple with the challenge ofdesign, and to develop creative and critical thinking skills. Whether global healthcare developmentis too challenging a topic is a question we continue to debate. Simply learning about the resourcesand healthcare systems in other parts of the world has proven to be an eye-opening experience forseveral of our students, and one that leaves many of them inspired to consider a career

In addition to the potential for improved student outcomes withinductive learning, the real world nature of PBL modules can lend itself for engineering design experiencesthat may also include broader Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). The goal of this project was to introduce a PBL module with a real world scenario into“Biomechanics” courses that cover the theory and methods for solving dynamics problems. In addition tolearning the related angular kinematics concepts, this project required students
