the University of Pennsylvania and other universities typically parts of two orthree courses learning how to deal with integration, the practical aspects of teamwork, interactingwith project sponsors from business or research, and how to apply theoretical concepts to realengineering problems often in the context of a senior design project. We believe that thisapproach is too little too late.Of course, it is not feasible to have a senior design project during the freshman year; first yearstudents don’t yet have the knowledge or skills that are required to succeed at such an endeavor.However, a progressive methodology can be incorporated early in a curriculum to enablestudents to build project-based experience and skills over their

courses teach students to work on well-defined andoversimplified problems. Average college students believe that the solution to all problemssimply implies finding the right formulas and plugging data into those formulas. Consequently,the learning of mathematics comes down to remembering formulas. Given application problemswhere the solutions are not based on formula association, most students do not know how to starttheir work. With the increasing complexity of postmodern technology, bridging the gap betweenreal-world problems and problems in textbooks becomes an increasingly critical pedagogicalissue.
