PBL also allows the instructor to integrate oral and written communicationcomponents into the course through required presentations, project reports and team meetings.The application and hands-on components of PBL are especially crucial in an applied scienceprogram such as engineering. Also, it is argued in this paper that integrating a PBL course in thejunior year curriculum can serve as a very good preparation for the Capstone project.While it is extremely important to design engineering curriculum so as to meet specific programoutcomes and deliver specific content, it is being increasingly recognized that a focus

This model, however, poses a threat to the current methods of engineering practice by givingthe notion that all serious engineering is done in the language of mathematics [2]. While the

In particular, size,space, organizational rigidness, and relationships are all important aspects to consider in designcourses.Lesson 1: SizeThe size of a team or organization impacts the way the people interact with one another and theoverall project/group [26]. There is some optimal (“small”) number of people on a team that allowfor close relationships to form between team members or employees [27,28]. This could translate toengineering education by informing the way that large courses break down into smaller groups orsections. It could also help to identify methods for creating these close knit relationships,whether through cohorts or living and learning options amongst others

In some cases,design is also introduced as part of a “cornerstone” experience in the first year of an engineeringprogram. Generally, however, the bulk of the engineering curriculum consists of engineeringscience courses that rely heavily on theoretical mathematics and closed-ended problem solving.Many design studies have investigated the difference between novices and experts in practicingdesign.
