suitable to thecourse. However, there were some advantages to using the ASME Student Design Competitionas the project. Some additional motivation was achieved by offering the opportunity to attendthe District Competition. This came at some cost to the professors leading the activity as muchguidance was needed to prepare the students for the competition. Traditionally, a Q&A forum isprovided to the students in this course when they are working on design projects.
