submitted a proposal in the Spring of 1996. We were selected as oneof the top 30 teams to compete in Sunrayce 97. The solar car project gave our students aunique learning experience in areas such as Engineering Mechanics, Machine Design andcomposite fabrication. It also provided an opportunity to apply their theoreticalknowledge to practical situations, gain hands-on experience, and at the same time, getcredit for their work. The project has been a great success and we are looking forward tocompeting in the race in June, 97.

PBL is a pedagogical model in which students are the centerof the learning process. Students become the active learner who connect domain knowledge toreal-world challenging problems, and work collaboratively toward their solutions. The instructorprovides resources and mentorship to students on how to tackle the problem, not the solutiondirectly. The major advantages of PBL include deepening students’ critical thinking, stimulatingstudents

In turn, this will allow them to save money on gas, drive more safely,and be more environmentally friendly. We were able to build on this by going throughthe customer discovery process.
