areimportant, their real-world relevance, and how it will impact the students’ future career in engineering.Project Based Learning (PBL) is an alternative method that is an inductive pedagogy, which begins witha real world problem or observation. In addition to the potential for improved student outcomes withinductive learning, the real world nature of PBL modules can lend itself for engineering design experiencesthat may also include broader Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). The goal of this project was to introduce a PBL module with a real world scenario into“Biomechanics” courses that cover the theory and methods for solving dynamics problems. In addition tolearning the related angular kinematics concepts, this project required students

I have used theVARK(Visual, Aural, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) learning styles survey by Bonwell andFleming2 to recognize different leaning styles among my students and observedkinesthetic style as predominant learning style among engineering technology students asreported earlier3

However, the impact of direct mentorship-mentee setup is limited by the number ofexpert users, in this case, the three faculty members (a mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer, andan artist), and their available time to mentor other faculty.

Characteristics of implicit bias include: one is unawareof bias, it is difficult to control, it is unintentional, there is no introspection, it is not endorsed andit is a habit of the mind. We all have implicit biases that are learned from culture andstereotypes. Implicit biases often conflict with our consciously endorsed beliefs. We

within labgroups with this very purpose in mind. The student response to the lab component shows this tobe largely successful. In fact, having multiple student majors in the course proved to be a moreeffective mechanism for imparting an appreciation for multidisciplinary endeavors than the useof multiple instructors. Other ways of exploiting cooperative learning opportunities in the courseare currently being explored.V. ConclusionThe miniaturization of technology continues relentlessly in most fields of engineering at anaccelerated rate. With such miniaturization comes the need to educate all engineers in the field ofmicrotechnology.

engineering, we have to also make sure that they fit within the standards that have been issued for that grade level. Recent emphasis on standardized testing also relates to these standards as a political constraint. It is important that as we are developing our own lessons and activities, we keep those test concepts in mind. They should be incorporated wherever possible. These factors also contribute to a time constraint. Our project is designed to supplement current curriculum. Therefore, we need to be mindful about the amount of time that we are using in each classroom, so as not to compromise the goals of the primary instructor. (M. Perkey

Furthermore, as a response to detected high stress, there are several practices suitable for engineering students tobring stress under control as shown in table II. Techniques like Mindfulness Meditation, which focuses awareness onthe present moment, and Progressive Muscle Relaxation, involving the progressive tensing and releasing of musclegroups, have been shown to effectively reduce stress [21]. Diaphragmatic Breathing, characterized by deep, slowbreaths from the diaphragm, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation [22]. CognitiveBehavioral
