undergraduate engineering course enrolled by junior level students in theMechanical Engineering Technology Department at the University of Pittsburgh Johnstown (UPJ). It is a3-credit course held each fall semester followed by a 1-credit laboratory during the following spring Page 23.56.2semester. When the author taught this course using a traditional lecture approach, it was noticed thatstudents were very focused on memorizing materials science information. The students were moreinterested in knowing how to solve a problem rather than understanding the problem and the concepts. Inaddition, there was a lack of excitement and student-centered

. Page 11.522.8Budget AnalysisThe budget for student senior design projects is set at $200 per student. The team ofthree students needed to complete this project within a budget of $600. Many of theproject components were donations such as the golf cart, plexi-glass, and tools donated orfrom the Technology Services group at the college. Shown in Table 1 is a list of theproducts and vendors from which they were purchased. The group slightly went overbudget because in the initial trial and error associated with development design andprototyping items were purchased that were subsequently not needed. This is animportant part of the learning experience for engineering students because that kind ofplanning for unintended, unforeseen but necessary
