Theprogram began in 2006 as a pilot program with 20 participants following an initiative by threeengineering professors at the University of Toronto. An initial evaluation resulted inencouraging feedback that prompted the establishment of PPIT as an official Faculty-sponsoredprogram in 2007, with an average enrolment of 25 participants per year depending on number ofeligible applications.

this paper, we reportfindings from our initial research investigation in an “Unstructured with DyKnow” statics course.3.2. ParticipantsThe course selected for this study was a Statics course that was purposefully chosen based on theinstructor’s familiarity with and use of DyKnow Vision. In the Fall 2012 semester, the instructortaught one section of Statics (~250 seats) in a large auditorium with stadium style seating. Thecourse met on Tuesdays and Thursdays for one hour and 15 minutes. The selected instructorused a Tablet PC to distribute slides and lecture notes to students via DyKnow. Lecture noteswere also projected in the front of the classroom. The lecture usually began with a review ofstudent selected homework problems, was followed by a

The act of expanding into more roles opened upopportunities for students with different interests to be involved and maintained high retentionrates.

At the sixth week of the semester, just after thestudents had begun to be exposed to solving material balance problems with no chemicalreactions or recycle streams, we conducted an SBL training activity in class.

Various teaching methodssuch as case studies, projects based learning, contexts based learning, computer based learning,etc, address the learning styles of different student populations [2], [8-11]. In this paper, weconcentrate on student populations who favor “learning by doing” [3], [6]. We will use the term“learning by doing” to refer to the approach of learning by solving many individual problems orthrough practice as opposed to studying the theory with which the problems are solved.The instructor of a
