The students and mentors involved in this process volunteer a significant number ofhours to EWB@MSU meetings and fundraisers. This affords students an opportunity to developtheir own solutions to diverse, multi-cultural problems with their peers and mentors. Thisinductive style of learning inspires students to engage in the process2. The project-based andproblem-based learning model provides an opportunity for increased engagement not only instudents’ respective studies, but in developing the strong communication, leadership andlife-long learning skills that are required for success both in their careers and EWB@MSUprojects.

benefit of the Fermi Method, is that it considers units when making an estimation. Fartoo often students arrive at an answer that is off by a factor of the units. They multiply and dividecorrectly, but do not pay attention to their units in the process. Unfortunately, this problem hasfollowed a few students into their careers. Major disasters, such as the NASA Orbiter and GimliGlider are a result of this. In the case of the Gimli Glider, an Air Canada aircraft, the fuel wasweighed and added in kilograms, rather than imperial units (1kg≠ 1lb)11. However, Fermiaccounts for this because your units must cancel in order to achieve your final answer. Fermi canalso be used as an inspection to make sure that your calculated value is in the correct range

Tofulfill the laboratory requirements for the course, students completed three team-based projects,or virtual laboratories, in which they conducted experiments using MATLAB to analyzeunknown systems, both biological and non-biological, through the use of time- and frequency-domain analysis techniques.As expected, engineering students must be prepared during their undergraduate careers to solve“real world” practical problems.2

They need to understand the importance of criticalthinking as they prepare for real-world experience in their professional careers. Critical thinkinginvolves reasoning, decision making, and problem solving while seeking for effectiveness,novelty, and self-direction2. Critical thinking is effective because it avoids common pitfalls, suchas seeing only one side of an issue, discounting new evidence that disconfirms one’s ideas,reasoning from passion rather than logic, and failing to support statements with evidence. Thereare many methods that can be implemented to encourage students to develop critical reasoning,decisive analysis and

Sometimes they struggle greatly to carry their part of the work for the team to completion. This group does not necessarily correspond to the lower GPA students. The department hopes to explore further how to facilitate better open-ended problem solving earlier in the students’ careers. Perhaps this reflects the need for a combination of the triplet of Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes necessary for successful civil engineering practice. • There continues to be some confusion with the multiple

ENGR 2431 New Project-Based Course Design The idea to switch to a project-based approach in ENGR 2431 was first conceived at anOlin College workshop that focused on designing projects for better student engagement. Theidea of designing a project for ENGR 2431 that could benefit the students in other ways thanjust the Content Learning goal was ideal since these students were not ECE majors and thecontent learned in the course might not apply directly to their engineering careers. Based onthe topics covered in the course and the type of project that was envisioned, the followingfour learning goals were specified for the project designed for ENGR 2431
