significant improvements in DCI scores. Addressing student concerns about the broadcast method of delivery directly bydiscussing literature, the “The No Significant Difference Phenomenon” (reference 11),and grade results from previous semesters early in the class may be comforting tostudents. But, it does not help them maintain classroom discipline throughout thesemester. Similarly, an orientation to the importance of the study of dynamics over thefour millennia beginning with Hammurabi’s code and ending with contemporaryengineering failures caused by dynamic conditions from recent newspaper articles mayaddress the ABET program outcomes f (ethical responsibility), h (societal context), and j(contemporary issues)18, but does not engage

Workbooks, blogs, instructional videos, case studies and concept-based evaluation tools, for example, all have been utilized, with varying degrees of success, ineducational contexts7-9,13-28. As such, the true novelty of the PMFC largely stems from

specified, and ABET reinforced, that mechanical engineering graduatesneed to be able to accurately apply design analysis and mechanical design principles withinrealistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability. In addition, students need to function on multidisciplinaryteams, have good communication skills, and use modern engineering tools to solve problems.These requirements suggest that engineering courses should be using real life project-basedlearning throughout the curriculum. Research has also indicated that a good percentage of thehigh quality students who are dropping out of engineering are doing so because they have eitherlost interest or actually come
