For each of the projects, there was a significant analysis, design,manufacture, and testing aspect with significant interdependent synergy. Specific requirementswere provided and the projects were essentially fun-spirited design contests with either aperformance index or a class vote determining the best overall project. Two projects were in

The version of statics taught at thisuniversity ends with a final lecture on mass moment of inertia. This is a segue to dynamics andstrength of materials, two classes the students take the following semester. Through the years,students have noted on end of the semester course

There are more than 140 student organizations and clubs that includethe following categories: sports (3), departmental (42), diversity/cultural (12), honorary (15),religious (9), social Greek (3), and special interest (24). It is believed that participation in suchactivities allows students to feel part of the campus community [14]. Nevertheless, at ourinstitution, most students cannot avail themselves of opportunities to participate inextracurricular activities.A different approach to getting students involvedGroup work in lecture courses can be used as a means of getting students to interact with eachother. Group work is common in laboratory courses, where, generally, data collection is
