The program’s goal has been to provide a qualityprogram that meets accreditation standards while providing the students with a skill set thatallows them to succeed in computing careers.2 Since our school does not offer a stand alone fouryears engineering program, the computer science department curriculum contains an area ofspecialization in computer engineering.Computing Curriculum – Computer Engineering draft 20043 specifies eighteen knowledge areas;sixteen of which relates directly to Computer Engineering and two relate to mathematics(probability

Furthermore, the analysis of the open-ended questionsrevealed that the students valued the PBL method because it offers interactivity, teamwork, aninterdisciplinary knowledge-sharing platform, and the ability to simulate a real-life workenvironment. The findings of this study reveal the positive outcome of the implementedapproach by integrating PBL activity in sustainability education for minority students from AECmajors.

One model represents thetraditional engineering curriculum in which the theory of the subject is presented first, followedby the hands-on activities. There is an alternative model commonly adapted by the engineeringtechnology programs, in which the theoretical knowledge presented in the lectures isimmediately reinforced with the laboratory hands-on activities.The second case represents the blended learning, which combines face-to-face classroommethods with computer-mediated activities to form an integrated instructional approach.

Design of Tooling is alsocommon (1c). “Improvement” is the bread-and-butter design modality for a manufacturingengineer as opposed to novel product or machine design. As such, the design activity is typicallyhighly constrained by an existing process.

) is a preferred teaching method in many situations.Generally this pedagogy enhances innovation (Lehmann, et al 2008), metacognition (Downing etal, 2008), meaningfulness and thus engagement (Stobral, 1995, Smith et al, 2005, Jiusto &DiBaiasio, 2006), promotes an integrated curriculum (Froyd & Ohland, 2005, Coyle et al, 2006),encourages design thinking (Dym et al, 2005), and is creative and interesting for the instructor.The PBL pedagogy uses an open-ended ambiguous problem or project to provide context forstudent’s inductive reasoning. In project based learning the project is usually larger than inproblem based learning, spanning a week or more in instructional time. Often a large project, ifcorrectly selected, can also match with a
