semesters. The work is designed to test two hypotheses: 1. A long-term design project that integrates knowledge from multiple courses strengthens student knowledge retention. 2. A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered. Beforeand after testing is being conducted to assess: a) Change in retention between courses and b)Change in student problem-solving and design skills.Students at Rowan University have built almost all of the “hardware” for the HPT (air engine,planetary gearset

classes, a simulationgame was played in class. This idea stemmed from feedback from students whotook this class in the past. They wanted an opportunity to apply the knowledgegained from class to real life situation in a more fun way than doing a classproject. The simulation was a better way to have students acquire learning byapplying than by doing a group project. With the simulation game, the entire classhad an uniform experience and the faculty could control the concepts that studentsneed to be able to use. In a group project, this was not always possible becausewith the real world problem, the group and the faculty are not always sure of allthe concepts that will manifest in the project. B.

thisword from German to English, translators must either decide to: (a) take the word directly as aloanword or (b) write its meaning periphrastically to attempt to grasp its sense structure to thebest of English’s extent. Likewise, when translating CATS to CATS-S, this also became anoticeable issue upon inspection. Consider questions one through three of CATS-S where “is tobe drawn” from CATS is phrased as “se dibujará” in Spanish, which translates to “will bedrawn” (see Figure 1). Although not dramatically, the imperative sense of “is to be drawn” islost, which could bring momentary confusion to a student undergoing the testing process.There were also inconsistencies with regards to the translation of terminology from CATS toCATS-S.
