This paper aims to discuss the design parameters of cargo container homeconstruction and an educational application of the concept. Problem-based learning (PBL)methodology was applied in order to create a discussion group. Building types were handed-out,scaled model and poster presentation were prepared by teams according to defined designparameters.

knowledge to construct a paper structure capable of carrying the highestload requires the use of engineering design processes with at least one iteration/improvement.When planning their design, participants are expected to conduct small tests of designcomponents and tailor their final design accordingly. Similarly, specific engineering habits ofmind are addressed in this section of the workshop: designs must follow pre-determined criteriaand fit within specific constraints, such as limited building supplies. Identifying and operatingwithin such criteria and constraints is an integral component of the engineering design process.Throughout the workshop, the participants will naturally experience and practice all eight of thescience and engineering

IntroductionA ball-and-beam system is one of the challenging control bench-marking systems integrated intomany practices and techniques [1]. This project will resolve in taking the ball-and-beam conceptand develop a ball-and-plate balancing system. The system will utilize sensors, actuators, andcontrol law to manipulate the servos in a feedback stabilization using three-degree-of-freedomcompensation. This is essentially implementing two ball-and-beam experiments in parallel toconstructing a ball-and-plate prototype.The concept of the ball-and-beam system is a simple system that is an unstable open-loop.Without an active feedback control system

They focus onthe application, and possibly the integration of previously acquired knowledge. Projects may becarried out by individuals or small groups. Project-organized curricula use projects as thestructuring principle of the entire curriculum, with subject oriented courses eliminated or reducedto a minimum and related to a certain project. Students work in small groups with a project teamof teachers who are advisers and consultants. Projects are undertaken throughout the length ofthe course and vary in duration from a few weeks up to a whole year. In present day engineering,a completely project
