. This way, technology andengineering schools that would like to implement such a system for teaching fundamentalEngineering & Technology (ET) theory to students will not be deterred by the high costs ofimmersive facilities (e.g. CAVE). This framework can be included in the form of PBL-basedexercises or within course curriculum in ET departments/schools. PBL involves efforts on part ofthe students that involves active learning and solving real-world like problems. The proposedprototype framework can be used for such PBL exercises as demonstrated with examples in thispaper.Introduction The effectiveness of the use of non-traditional instructional methods in aiding studentlearning has been demonstrated by several notable authors

Technology faculty was encouraged to share their successes in terms of what wasgoing well in the classes they taught that were related to the outcomes being discussed. Thefocus was on the positive aspects of their teaching rather than dwelling on problems and issuesthat needed to be resolved. As the faculty began to trust one another the dialogue continued tobe more open and informative. This discussion and analysis of the curriculum took quite a bit oftime, but was extremely beneficial in developing meaningful outcomes. This process providedthe faculty with a much better understanding of what was happening in other courses beyondtheirs and a better perspective of how the curriculum could provide the students with a buildingblock experience.Eleven

Successful project management among the team members and their relationshipto the faculty and external sponsors requires an array of communication and soft skills.Resources must be factored into the planning process: e.g. fabrication capabilities, technicalsupport and/or the cost of purchased components/services.

In a nutshell, a course evaluation iscomposed of various metrics measured by the two different class participants, theinstructor and the students. Student input is explained in Section 4. All assessmentmetrics done by the instructor use traditional student work, such as homeworks,laboratories, quizzes, laboratories, projects, and exams (from now on denoted as“assignments”). This section, however, details a modified way to use assignment gradesto better measure each course objective. As the grade of an assignment may not entirelyreflect the various course learning objectives addressed in the assignment, all workrequired from the student is directly matched to a course learning objective
