Inthis semester-long project, students were introduced to new engineering topics in lecture, they practicedtechniques in mini labs, and then applied the knowledge to their project while considering theentrepreneurial mindset at every step. In this paper, we hypothesized that an EML module that utilized aproject-based approach would improve student engagement, improve technical laboratory and writing skillsand foster student’s curiosity to learn about human body motion. This project led to a mastery in kinematics,kinetics and human body motion technology with a stronger
