The Mechanical Engineering-EngineeringMechanics (ME-EM) Department administration became concerned that some of the enterprisestudents were graduating without the solid design skills that their graduates should have underthe requirements for ABET accreditation.

Most students, instructorsand curricula are sequential in that the process functions with partial understanding, there issteady progress, and details are emphasized [4]. Global learners need the big and overall picturefor proper comprehension and progress in leaps despite being slow initially [4].
