The cycle is a well-known and effective model in education whichoutlines the process where knowledge is gained through transformative experiences. As studentsimmersed themselves in an active learning framework, acquisition of knowledge resulted fromthe combination of participation, assimilation, comprehension, and conceptualization ofexperiential processes in the affective, psychomotor, and cognitive domains.In an effort to support the grant-funded research for bioenergy systems and also provideexperiential learning opportunities, undergraduate

theemerging global competition of the production of engineers. The use of multimedia andinformation technologies has provided a tool for learning delivery in engineeringeducation, and this project provides a methodology to incorporate real-world experiencewith decision making in an academic setting. The use of a multimedia case study is usedfor an engineering design course to encourage team work, improve presentation skills,and simulate real world decision making. An evaluation of the project suggests thatstudents are susceptible to this pedagogy for engineering instruction, and that it canpromote critical thinking and team work in an academic environment.IntroductionThe industry foghorn continues to resonate across the engineering academy on the

students who don’t define themselves asmathematicians, but whose careers require what we will call “mathematical intuition” to supportthe use of technology in solving problems and to anticipate a correct solution.The goal of this paper is to describe a project-based learning experience that has the potential tohelp students build their mathematical intuition by requiring them to formally estimate within thesolution process. By requiring estimations, the project becomes open-ended; students understandthat their answers are not exact, or ‘right’, but are still valid. Framing the project as one thatcorresponds well to students’ sense of what one ‘does’ in their discipline provides a greaterdegree of student autonomy in completing the project because

Thegroup was to design the controls for the module. At the conclusion of the project, five programs were placed in a common programto run the complete system. Each group was given the operational specifications and theinput/output diagram. There was a video of each section placed on the course web site.So the groups could observe the operation of their section and of the entire system. There were design problems that resulted in burning out several motors. Themotors in the system will not tolerate being stalled. Electronic current limiting will be

assist with this goal, students were encouraged, early in the term, to discover reallife examples of mechanisms with an aim to promote curiosity and foster interest in learning.Throughout the term, a design project was introduced which required students not only to applyfundamentals of kinematics and dynamics, but also to exercise skills in teamwork, collaborativelearning and communication. A student survey was conducted at the end of the course and theefficacy of the approach was assessed.IntroductionThe University of British Columbia‟s Okanagan campus was established in 2005 in Kelowna,British Columbia.

Objectives3.1 Objectives in Creating the CourseIn looking at the computer engineering curriculum at the University of Evansville (UE) it seemedthat the spring term of the junior year was the best time to offer such a course. This allowsstudents to obtain adequate prerequisite preparation. It also gives them the opportunity tofollow-up and complete a major capstone project which includes real-time and embeddedsystems during their senior year. The objectives in creating the course were: • Keep hardware and software costs low so that the course can be offered inexpensively and so that students can do course assignments in their home/dorm as well as in a lab. • Use hardware and software similar to that currently being used in industry
