Blended Learningfor a Large Size ­Engineering Mechanics Courseaerospace and manufacturing engineering. Before undergraduate students enter their specific spe-cialisation in the third year of their degree, all students within the school are required to completea second-year mechanics course that covers both dynamics and mechanical vibration content. Thetraditional delivery of this course involved face-to-face lectures, break out smaller-sized face-to-facetutorial classes, hands-on laboratory exercises in very small groups supervised by a teaching assistant,and a variety of assessments comprising assignments, class tests, laboratory reports and a final exam.All assessments were submitted and marked in hardcopy format. However, the structure and

“familiar enough with a science discipline to take partin research activities with-in that discipline”. The Next Generation Science Standards: For States, ByStates (NGSS) is an example of a more-recent effort (a collaboration among 26 states) to improvescience curriculum by focusing on disciplinary core ideas (content), science and engineering practices(SEPs) and crosscutting concepts (CCs). The NGSS curriculum places emphasis on vertical alignmentof K-12 science concepts in such a way that teaches SEPs and CCs in context where more-traditionalscience standards “express these dimensions as separate entities” (NGSS Lead States). In recognition of the national shift toward NGSS, the National Academy of Sciences published­Science Teachers

Santander, in Colombia. 30 groups of studentswere built-on. There was at least 1 student from each one of the 4 different courses integrated inthis project. These courses were: Managerial Issues I and II, Entrepreneurship and Human Resources.They were all exposed to our proposed model: a learning exercise based on challenges, by meansof which they had to propose a solution to a real problem involving technical competences of thecareer, as well as non-technical ones. The research has being conducted by 4 teachers of the engineering program, and the project lasted12 months. The GALEA laboratory was the origin of this proposal, as GALEA promotes teaching andlearning experiences based on alternative methods such as project based learning and

8 ISSUE 2ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATIONA Temperature Control Project that Facilitates Learningof Difficult Concepts in Control Theory Project-Based-Learning, or PBL, has been broadly adopted by the engineering education commu-nity [2-8] as an effective instructional approach. Cohesive PBL pedagogy brings many advantages: itmotivates students, offers student-centered learning [7], makes meaningful connections to the realworld [8], and facilitates communication among students [9]. Specific to control theory teaching,PBL has been utilized to help students to learn about function blocks in a feedback control system[10-12] and to design advanced controllers [13-17]. Recognizing teaching/learning benefits throughPBL, the author developed a
