Rather, we use inductive learning principles via project-basedlearning challenges that lead students through exercises involving experimentation andmeasurement; data collection, analysis, and display; estimation and prediction; and budgetingand making trade-offs. For example, data representation and computation are essential skills forengineering problem solving. In working through the challenges, students gain practice andcomfort in applying the mathematics, logic, and problem solving skills needed to solveengineering design problems.

However, Frankenstein is rarely discussed in technical classes.This paper discusses a design project for first-year Mechanical Engineering students that askedstudents to select and explore themes from Frankenstein as a guide for the design of anautonomous robot. In essence, the students were required to develop a target customer that wouldbenefit from the theme they selected. The use of the novel to generate concepts for the robotswas supported by using a form of double column notes. This processes required the students toselect several quotes from the book as inspiration for concept generation. Students sketched therobot ideas and explained the connection between the quote from the book and the concept. The

The analysis is done with PowerWorld and is supplemented with MatLab calculations.The students were provided information concerning a small (seven bus, two generator) powersystem. They were required to assemble all of the information into tables, both in actual valuesas well as in per unit on a common base, before beginning the analysis. Since the system wassmall, students could manually calculate Ybus and Zbus values and compare them to thePowerWorld results. Any discrepancies had to be resolved in order to get the
