Our small-scale Foucault’s Pendulum experiments were carried out in two differentcountries as an independent study by a sophomore engineering student. Project Based Learning(PBL) was applied in this study. Since Foucault’s experiment is in such a big scale, logistically itis hard to demonstrate it at schools. The aim of this study was to create a small-scale pendulumso other students and teachers around the world can easily build one to prove the Earth’srotation. Using a small-scale setup, about 3 meters in length, we studied the effects of the Earth’srotation on the pendulum’s precession with identical materials (i.e., object’s mass and size

Students will no longeraccept the necessity of learning copious amounts of technical and scientific information “justbecause.” Faculty often attempt to provide relevance by presenting real-world examples, buteven these are not “real” to a student who fails to identify the connection or usefulness of thesubject.During the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 academic years, we implemented a simple, weeklyreflective journal assignment in our first year, project-based engineering design course, whichconsists of three
