Frazier [17], there are five pedagogical areas that can beintegrated into the classroom with relative ease: 1. Integrate Active, Collaborative, and Problem-Based Learning – ACL and PBL techniques are well known and have been shown to assist in developing creativity and engagement in students [30]. 2. Help Students Extract Answers from an Ocean of Information – While most iGen students are adept at finding answers to surface questions through technology, many are poor at finding information that is harder to find. Students should be encouraged to seek the assistance of technical librarians in finding credible, peer-reviewed research. 3. Assess Often and Provide Feedback – iGen students are characterized

This is an important step because mathematical solutions do not guarantee thatthe synthesized mechanism can traverse the positions in the desired order or it does not sufferfrom branching defects. The simulation option in SoftLink allows the designer to check finedetails in the kinematics before moving to the kinetics design and analysis.Matlab/Simulink is the platform of choice for several reasons: (1) It is a code familiar tostudents and faculty as it is already available and used in many courses in a curriculum tosolve a wide range of engineering problems including control, communications, DSP,optimization, etc.; (2) It has a vast library of functions

Such a course is typically supported by a comprehensive reference text such asFoster.1 On-line GD&T courses are also available.2A logical place to introduce GD&T is in a first-year design graphics course.

The goals of this project were to create project modules that couldbe easily adaptable to various curriculums and applications, including K-12 programs.1In 2010 – 2012, three project modules were integrated into the first-year curriculum at MichiganTech: aquaculture, biomechanics, and wind energy. For the aquaculture module, students built,tested, and analyzed their own aerator or used 3D modeling to develop a new impeller for anexisting pump to use in water circulation.

The methodology is used to find the optimum co-ordinates for the center ofgravity and optimum arrangements of the middle axle wheels along the tractor. The optimaltractive efficiency is then achieved by optimizing the geometric coordinates.Educational value of the paperThis paper is basically an analysis-based learning approach to motivate and integrate studentlearning process.
