There has been a recent trend to improve introductory mechanical engineeringclasses to show students immediately the applications of the knowledge they are acquiring in theclasses early in their department [1] [2]. Such identity with the material has been shown toincrease persistence in engineering [3] [4].This paper illustrates a thematic method of examples threaded throughout a semester-long classat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that tie together introductory concepts that thestudents are leaning and real-world examples from the automotive industry. These examples,which often include video, sound or music, pictures, and real-world specifications, break up thenormal lecture-format class and show immediate applications for

skills needed for post-secondary coursework naturally reflect the demands of today’s information-based economy. So, those who master 21st-century skills like critical thinking, effective communicationand information literacy will be more likely to make a successful transition into universities, technicalschools and the workforce. Studies have found that up to 40 percent of students who enter U.S. collegesand technical schools need remedial coursework, which adds time and expense to their college education.Not surprisingly, these students are less likely to earn a degree or certificate than their better-preparedpeers, putting them at a significant disadvantage in the workforce.Solution: Solving real-world challengesTo build skills for success, we

Hands-on in-class activities, especially those requiring them to go out of class to identify real-world applications while learning were essential engagement tools improving student-faculty interactions.
