math and science relate to the field of engineering. Byseeing first-hand what engineers actually do, campers can better decide on a career or disciplinethey want to pursue. Whether a student is interested in clean energy, cars and motorcycles,explosives, or building bridges or towers, the camp will educate them through hands-onactivities, computer laboratory visits and practical demonstrations. The civil and architecturalengineering program is no exception to this exercise. Both programs offers a tour through someof the various research/laboratory facilities and provide similar demonstrations in statics andmechanics of materials. What the students saw in the labs is further reinforced in the classroomby conducting a project base learning (PBL

(Known in DI circles as DirectInstruction). Then the concept is posed in the form of an inquiry–based learningapproach. For example, this semester the concept of “dot or scalar products of vectors”was clear to all the students, so a brief review of the definition was followed by aninquiry/problem based approach with the question, “how to find the angle between twovectors using dot or scalar products?” This exercise was carried out with the help of ahandout given to the class. This was later followed by how to find the projection of onevector

Today, with the engineering profession undergoingdramatic changes on many fronts - there is real need, for faculty and students, to becomeinvolved with practical problems and to share in providing solutions. We owe it to our studentsto prepare them to meet the challenges ahead by focusing on real issues derived from tangiblesituations.
