engineering students are tasked withincorporating design for manufacturability (DFM) in the design of a plastic component andinjection mold that will later be machined by a separate course that contains manufacturingengineering and plastics engineering students. After completion of the injection mold, it isutilized by the part designers (plastics engineers) to mold the components they designed. Eightgroups in each class work together on separate projects in and out of class. Checklists are utilizedto ensure design criteria are met while staying within the scope of the project and the capabilitiesof the university laboratories. The end result is a real-world experience of the workingrelationship between a customer and a supplier, complete with design

In addition, remote laboratories must be used through a computerconnected to the Internet, and this allows the use of advanced features that enhance the learningexperience -- thus richer learning experiences can be created. Furthermore, from a pedagogicalpoint of view, these remote laboratories open new fields of innovation based on the developmentof different competencies and, by involving parents, new

At Washington StateUniversity, an open channel lab was developed to improve conceptual understanding ofhydraulic jumps and weirs6. Students are guided through the lab, then asked to design a weir toreduce the power of the vortex created by the hydraulic jump downstream of the weir. Studentswere enthusiastic about the lab, and it fostered further discussion. At University of Queensland,both laboratory and field studies were introduced to increase student interest7. Student feedbackindicated that lab and field studies helped them think more critically about hydraulics, which isreflected by the decrease in failure rates

Normally a project is a complex task that involves designthinking, decision making, problem solving, etc. [2]. The benefits of project-based learning includeimproved student participation in the learning, strengthened communication skills, promotion of criticaland proactive thinking [3]. Literature shows that real world problem will improve student’s understandingof the materials learned in classroom [1].

Each course has one 75-minute “unlecture” period and one 165-minute“laboratory” period each week. Instructional objectives for the sequence include generalengineering skills such as engineering communication, collection and presentation of data, basicstatistics, dimensional analysis and unit conversions, etc. During the 2018-2019 academic year,FEC I and II were each offered in 17 sections of approximately 20 students each.

The possibilities are many. Letme list a few. • Help set up a lab experiment, or a simulation environment. Lai and Sullivan3 had independent-study students set up lab experiments in a polymer-processing laboratory, and provide feedback to improve the experimental procedures. • Run a set of benchmarks on a simulator, and tabulate and analyze the results. • Do a literature search in an area that you are interested in moving into; ideally, this could lead to a publishable survey paper. • Write code for a program being used in
