engineering problems in the workplace. A vast amount of research has beendedicated to the study of new teaching methods and laboratory curricula to ensure that ourstudents are understanding, learning, and applying this knowledge to solve problems1,2,3.Project-based learning (PBL) provides students with a broader context to the material learned inclass. With project-based learning students shift from a passive to an active learning pattern thatis likely to improve knowledge retention as well as the ability to integrate material from differentcourses4. Each project provides students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge they havelearned in classes, and each problem they face in the project inspires them to explore the materialmore deeply in

elements of the course that have fosteredhigher levels of intellectual development and thereby critical thinking skills.Felder and Brent6 suggest that there are five teaching conditions that correlate with students tak-ing a deep approach to learning. The first condition, “Student-perceived relevance of the subjectmatter” is obtained by the industrial involvement and real-world problem solving. Since thiscourse was co-developed by industry, it has received the “industry stamp of approval” whichgives the students incentive and enthusiasm to learn the course material. The second condition,“Clear expectations, practice, and feedback” is obtained in the laboratory exercises (labs). Thecritical thinking process is modeled by the professor in the early

FPGAsare not only programmed through atraditional schematic fashion, they are alsoprogrammed using HDL. HDL is used todescribe the behavior of the circuits that arebeing created. Although HDLs describenearly all advanced circuits, certain circuitscan be automatically synthesized, meaningthat HDL code can be rendered from acomputer directly into a working design.This is particularly true of “reconfigurable Figure 1.

, forexample, applying FEA to a common truss problem can help the student visualize the bending oftruss members and deformation in a way previously not possible. Use of FEA for studyingengineering concepts is similar to the inclusion of laboratory experiments in lecture-courses, toprovide reinforcement of core lecture material more effectively than a textbook16. Also, FEA canbe used to bridge the gap between traditional learning through textbooks, which are typicallycomprised of standard geometry, and applying those concepts to real world and design problemswith complex geometry, where knowledge gained from textbooks alone is not sufficient. Thoughpowerful with advanced graphics and animation capabilities, these commercial tools do not lendthemselves

Design Final Test-Remaining 8 teamsConclusionsFeasibility of conducting an optimization of a pump and piping system with two branches hasbeen demonstrated. Juniors in a mechanical systems laboratory class were able, in teams of four,to develop an analytical model, conduct experiments, and commission their design. The exerciseintegrates subjects from fluids (e.g. frictional pressure drop, pump curves, parallel circuits),technical writing, and engineering economics.For the pipe system presented here the optimum pipe diameters were 1.6 and 1.2 centimeters forthe upper and lower branches respectively. The balance between the initial costs of the pipingand the operating and initial costs of the pump produces a minimum total cost of $1,263 at

together and leveraging the research team’s expertise in civil engineering, engineeringeducation, and communication. We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have
