Students who havetaken the course when they learned the techniques of developing computational tools havereported that they were able to put these skills to use at work or in their subsequent courses. Thisapproach has the benefit of teaching marketable skills that also enhance the students'understanding of the concepts of machine design.IntroductionThe machine design course in question is the first semester of a two-semester sequence in thetopic area. The first semester is a junior-level course required for the mechanical engineeringdegree, while the second semester is a subsequent elective taken by either juniors or seniors.

Typical secondary school-level cybersecurity competitions,such as the Air Forces CyberPatriot, currently focus on a very narrow set of computer-technicalrelated activities. These competitions require an array of preparation and coaching about thenuances of operating systems and computer networks. For instance, CyberPatriot teams aretasked with closing exploits on virtual machine snapshots of a pair of operating systems (OS),often Windows or Linux operating systems. Activities include adjusting user permissions, closingunnecessarily open ports, and modifying other operating system settings to close exploits.Leading up to the competition is where most of the learning happens for the competitors

According to educational research,project-based learning (PBL) hasbecome a favored pedagogical model for teaching engineering knowledge and skillsin addition to chalk-and-talk teaching. Through engaging students in the investigation ofauthentic problems, PBL can enhance student participation in active and self-learning andpromote critical and proactive thinking5,6,7.

The students made use of knowledge from the courses in computer modeling as well ascourses in solid mechanics and machine design. This procedure took about three months and aseries of modifications and re-drawings were made to refine the first design. Besides the teammembers and the supervising advisor, the design was discussed with experts in academia andindustry for feedback and constructive suggestions. The design was refined according to thevaluable feedback
