opportunities that allow students to apply theirengineering design learning. Classroom meetings are typically devoted to hands-on team-basedactivities, which range from product dissections to designing products for various speculativescenarios. In addition to these in-class activities, student teams work together out-of-class on asemester project wherein they design a novel consumer product. In addition, the ME studentswere enrolled in a hands-on laboratory course focused on manufacturing processes (welding,machining, casting, etc.).At the time of second data collection, in the second semester of participants’ sophomore year,neither group was enrolled in design-related courses. Both sets of students were involved inengineering science courses (e.g

DevelopmentIn Fall 2007, the professional development (PD) received by all GTAs consisted of fourhours of training prior to the start of the semester. The full details of the training havebeen described by Zawojewski, Diefes-Dux and Bowman.12 Of particular interest to thispaper is that the GTAs spent some time solving the first MEA that they would implementin the laboratory setting. This included reading the MEA problem statement andanswering the individual questions. GTAs, working in teams of 3 or 4, came toconsensus on the three individual questions in a similar fashion to that of the first-yearengineering students. The faculty facilitator briefly went over their answers to thesequestions

addition to the students’attitudes towards the project. Although the materials cost about $100 for the initialimplementation of this project, many of the supplies were plentiful enough for use in futureprojects. Therefore, the cost per student over several semesters would be less than theapproximately five dollars per student expended here. The purpose of this paper is to share thisexperience with others who are seeking to create project based learning opportunities withoutusing specialized laboratory space and with limited financial investment.IntroductionAt Austin Community College in Austin, TX, the “Introduction to Engineering” course helpsstudents explore engineering through several different instructional styles, including groupprojects

It was used to supply hydrogen to agasoline engine to run the engine in varying proportions of hydrogen and gasoline. Afactory-built injection and control system, based on the injection technology from theracing industry, was used to inject gaseous hydrogen into a gasoline engine to boost theefficiency and reduce the amount of pollutants in the exhaust.
