]. However, to date, the large-scale production is limited due to the relativelylow device efficiencies (~14%), high-price catalytic materials and high-temperature processingconditions [5]. New materials and structures, together with an optimized manufacturing process,are needed to lower production costs while maintaining efficiency such that DSSCs areeconomically viable. In this project, we study the working principle of DSSCs, fabricate DSSCdevices in the laboratory, test their performance using basic equipment, and propose the route tomass-produce DSSCs. The objective of this project is for participants to identify the key factorsthat affect DSSC performance, manufacturing time, and cost, and explore the manufacturing routesthat could push the

) is extremely fast-paced. Traditional manufacturingtechnologies such as CNC milling, turning, metal casting, and welding used to be thecornerstones of the program. With the rapid advance of technology, a number of new subjectshave been added to the program. Electronics and automation, strength of materials, and rapidprototyping are just a few of the courses added to the program in recent years. The addition ofthese new courses has required consolidation of traditional manufacturing courses. Students nowlearn the same material in one course that used to be taught previously in two to four courses.Homework assignments, laboratory assignments, mid-term, and final exams are the typicalassessment methods instructors would use in these courses

In thesecond course (EET-410L, Senior Project Laboratory) students implement the project plan bybuilding and testing a prototype. A typical project involves a solution to a software/hardware-based engineering problem. The process of developing and implementing a solution to theproblem offers a learning opportunity for students to gain new insights and competencies as aresult of “constructivist” and “deep learning” teaching/learning approaches.

It may also be said that there’s nothing so theoretically interesting as goodpractice.” Marquardt2 in his “Harnessing the Power of Action Learning” states “...allforms of action learning share the elements of real people resolving and taking action onreal problems in real time and learning while doing so.” This is what our educational approach to engineering technology education has been allabout. To address these issues, we create laboratory problems, institute engineering coopprograms, and do capstone projects, all to get students exposed to “real world problems”.These are all excellent approaches and should be applied wherever practical.

The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems

The personal and interpersonalabilities acquired by the students are mainly the ability to work in an engineering team and toengage in self-study both as individuals and as members of a team [6].What is Project-Based Learning (PBL)? In PBL, students work in groups to solve challengingproblems that are authentic, curriculum-based, and often interdisciplinary. Learners decide howto approach a problem and what activities to pursue. They gather information from a variety ofsources and synthesize, analyze and derive knowledge from it. Their learning is inherentlyvaluable because it is connected to something real and involves adult skills
