One example of this is the use of storytelling in nursingprograms [2,3], utilizing a method that mirrors the way the nursing students will receiveinformation from future patients. In a science course, Crocetti and Barr examine the use ofstorytelling and graphic novels to deliver science literacy concepts [4]. In the engineering field,digital storytelling has become a tool to use the digital medium to convey technical information ina more accessible way to non-technical audiences [5], to learn technical information in a civilengineering laboratory setting [6], and to develop engineering

Also in many cases, students, through working on projects,often perceive the relevance of mathematics and science and see how what they have learned inthese courses might be applicable to their current project. Another, less frequently usedalternative is a first-year course built around discipline, laboratory-based learning experiences[10]. The goal of this alternative is to help first-year students better understand the nature of thedifferent engineering disciplines through carefully crafted experiential learning experiences.Given that one of the challenges faced by the first-year engineering curricula at TAMU was thelack of understanding of engineering practice, EAPO selected the project-based approach.

Inlearning sciences, the design experiments are seen as a means of studying learningphenomena in the real world instead of the laboratory, thus arriving at better understanding ofthe contextual aspects or learning and enabling the establishment of better learningconditions.

Inthis semester-long project, students were introduced to new engineering topics in lecture, they practicedtechniques in mini labs, and then applied the knowledge to their project while considering theentrepreneurial mindset at every step. In this paper, we hypothesized that an EML module that utilized aproject-based approach would improve student engagement, improve technical laboratory and writing skillsand foster student’s curiosity to learn about human body motion. This project led to a mastery in kinematics,kinetics and human body motion technology with a stronger
