machines may seem quite at odds, the two fitquite well together as a design project in an introduction to engineering class. In fact, freshmanengineering students at Youngstown State University are given their first exposure to the designprocess via a four-week Rube Goldberg project. The project requires the students to design amachine, Rube Goldberg style, which will time three minutes as close as possible without goingover. The original intent of this Rube Goldberg machine was to time the hard-boiling of an egg.The idea of design in freshman engineering classes certainly is not new. For that matter the useof Rube Goldberg type designs in engineering education is not either. However, in this project,for the entire four weeks, the project was used

The PM class trains students inproject management and other soft skills and then puts them on the line managing the C3/C4teams. Many of the PM students have already taken the C3/C4 sequence, but we have graduatestudents who have not. The projects are sophisticated, requiring significant design, scheduling,and teamwork over an eight week period. In addition, because students in C4 have already takenC3, they are in a position to mentor the younger students even though the projects are differentfrom semester to semester.We have received validation that this approach is working.

This paper furtherdiscusses a student-led honors project involving not only the design but also the construction of alow-cost gearbox demonstration unit. The gearbox demonstration unit is designed and built togive future students in the machine design course a visual, hands-on way to understand andinternalize the working of gear trains as either speed reducers or torque reducers.
