This experience “will enable the students to gain a greater understanding of

We also emphasize projects, whether design oranalysis, in most classes, and we provide opportunities for students to engage in manyextracurricular projects.Recently, there was a series of discussions held on campus related to the differencesbetween learn-by-doing and project-based learning. Most faculty involved in thesediscussions agreed that although these two philosophies share many attributes, and eventhough they are both very legitimate ways of approaching education, the learn-by-doingphilosophy is more encompassing. For example, both pedagogies do involve projects;however, learn-by-doing can be accomplished

Forinstance, communication, both written and oral is often an inherent aspect of the course.Programs may also include additional, non-traditional objectives to the course [3].
