When the room is at full capacity, the presenters close the door andplace a sign "Session FULL”. In this way, attendees migrate from overcrowded sessions to otherworkshops with few attendees. The goal is that all of the presenters have the opportunity topresent in a real setting with an audience.At the conference, the presenters deliver their workshop twice; once each in the morning andafternoon session. After each session, the presenters will distribute an anonymous evaluationform. This evaluation includes the basic information of the attendee (age and

This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including: laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students
