A steady increase in enrollment numbers andpositive feedback from student evaluations demonstrate the benefits of this curriculum.IntroductionLaboratory and project-oriented teaching1 is becoming more prevalent in engineering. Project-oriented instruction can ingrain theoretical concepts by challenging students to apply theory indesign settings where they must

The new curriculum consists of 4 courses: the first 2 are required for EngineeringMechanics majors while Mechanical Engineering majors are required to take the first threecourses, with the fourth course as an elective. While, this transition has been well received bystudents and faculty alike, however, DFEM sought a method to determine the efficacy of thistransition; the Fundamentals of Engineering exam was a logical choice. Based on the resultsfrom three exams, preliminary results show that the transition did not detrimentally affect DFEMstudents’ overall performance as they continued to pass the exam at or above the

Results of this are higher studentachievement, a more thorough understanding of the material and a more positive attitudetowards learning.
