The general aim ofthis implementation is to ensure continuity of methods, content, and goals across all courses andto increase the workforce relevance of student learning. Significant curriculum changes includeexpanding course content and duration (e.g., one-semester courses expanding to become year-long), implementing new instructional technologies (e.g., hybrid courses and flipped classrooms),and promoting experiential and team-based learning as a consistent learning outcome for all PDTcourses.

In otherwords, most teams did not propose a particularly novel idea to apply to the engine that they wereconsidering. Considering that the internal combustion engine is a well-established technology,this may not be that surprising. However, if the students were as a group inclined to take onmore challenging projects, there may have been more projects along the lines of #9, where agroup attempted to take a newer technological development and apply it to an older engine.
