Education, 2025 Implementing Mini Modules in Core Mechanical Engineering Courses to Enhance Student EngagementAbstractActive learning promotes student engagement by emphasizing their active role in the learningprocess, contrasting with traditional lecture-based teaching. This study explores theimplementation of four active learning strategies in a senior-level Mechanical Engineering course(Heat Transfer) at Western New England University: peer discussions, weekly self-assessedquizzes, flexible assignment deadlines, and self-selected team formation for collaborativeprojects. These strategies were designed to be easy to adopt without compromising lecture timeor content coverage. Surveys and feedback help to understand the

These designsrelied on applied basic fluid mechanics, materials, and strength of materials calculations. Thestudents also designed experiments to test the algae growth rates using factorial experimentaldesign. In the third quarter, they tested the reactors (see Figures 3 and 4). The growth rateestablished in these reactors was on-par with the best reported growth rate obtained on the labbench scale. The team also won second place on regional ASME Old Guard competition.
