Engineering students from Old Dominion University joined the effort, first as volunteersand then as capstone design students.The project began with significant community engagement which was orchestrated through thecivic league. Students were thus able to pin-point flooding, shoreline erosion, and the rates atwhich basements were taking on water and develop an urgent level of motivation to helpcommunity members with whom they became acquainted. Simultaneously, students met withacademics and area professionals with expertise in pieces of the puzzle (preservationists, marinebiologists, landscape architects, oceanographers, and hydrologists among them) and with cityplanners and storm

Learning Courses using Crowd SignalsProject-based learning (PBL) is a growing component of engineering education in the UnitedStates. Its perceived educational value is exemplified by its explicit mention in ABET’sCriterion 5, which requires engineering programs to provide a culminating design experience thatincorporates engineering standards and multiple constraints. Capstone courses and design-build-test projects allow students to synthesize and apply engineering knowledge, skills, and tools toopen-ended design problems. Students work and communicate in teams to complete tasks likegenerating requirements, and testing and integrating equipment. There appears to be widespreadconsensus that project-based learning is

At the rise ofThe Mechanics Project, these courses were taught in a lecture-based format that met twice aweek using common mechanics textbooks.
