Student enrollment has doubled during this 5 year process. The year-long integrated curriculum is built around a theme of “college to career” transition and targets awide array of learning objectives.

plants we see today. Perhaps these structures and plants werenot as optimized as those we might be able to design today with all our modern computer designaids. However, what is clear is that senior engineers could not be competent in design without asolid grounding in the engineering fundamentals. Today it may be possible for graduates to usemodern computer aided design programs and achieve an adequate design without a goodunderstanding of the engineering fundamentals involved. If their assumptions and operation ofthese modern software design tools are correct all is well. However without a goodunderstanding of fundamentals they may not realize when an incorrect answer is produced. Theold saying of garbage in, garbage out is even more relevant

Mills and Treagust (2003) summarized their observations on the differences betweenproblem-based learning and project-oriented learning as project-oriented learning is moreapplication and professional work based. Thus, it is over a longer time period than problem-basedlearning. Project-oriented courses also include time and resource management, task and roledifferentiation, and more self-motivation and direction in comparison to problem-based learning.Problem-based learning
