As the course is part of atechnology program, the content is concentrated on the use of the major concepts in industrialapplications, therefore problem-solving and project design are central to the teaching approach ofthis class.The course has been taught by two different MET faculty in the last 10 years and the project-based-learning activity has been assigned for the last 6 years.
