increased ability to be innovative. Our Launch Lab program strives to implement and buildupon the insights garnered from these researchers mentioned above to ensure the long-termcareer success of our students.Launch Lab OverviewThe origin of YSU’s Launch Lab can be traced back to a conversation between an Art andMechanical Engineering Technology faculty in 2008. Their discussion centered around thecollaboration between STEM and Arts faculty to bring students from different disciplinestogether to work on interdisciplinary projects. Shortly after, the group began to use the name“Co-Lab” for collaborative laboratory. The first project with two students was completed in2009, and since that time, there have been typically three to four projects
inthe engineering curriculum, the projects were completed in single classes.In this study, a PBL approach is implemented by developing projects in a series of requiredcourses in a Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The projects assigned in each course are relatedand planned to build up the knowledge and skills needed to develop a successful senior designproject or capstone project. In implementing the approach, the instructor identifies the topic orproblem to be proposed as a senior design project. In the first of the sequential courses, anexperimental measurements laboratory course, a project is assigned regarding a sensor that couldbe used in the senior design project. In the second of the sequential courses, a thermal-fluidslaboratory course

There are also increased demands for continuing education of engineers inthe emerging energy technology area. A well-designed power or energy engineering curriculummust offer a judicious balance between basic science, mathematics, and a strong engineeringfoundation with a particular focus on the laboratory and hands-on experience, computingbackground

engineering graduates relies not only ontraditional subject material, but increasingly on the development of skills for utilizing thisknowledge in a creative and innovative manner. A capstone design course requires senior-levelstudents to apply knowledge gained from previous engineering science, design and laboratorycoursework in accomplishing an extended design task. It is the hope of any engineeringinstructor that the capstone design sequence facilitates the student’s transition from an academicto an industrial environment. The capstone design course sequence also provides an opportunityto teach and allow students to apply some important topics not covered in traditional engineeringscience or laboratory courses, such as ethics, teaming, technical
