However, for some topics in the course, such as ocean energy,software is not readily available. The OWC project presented in this paper uses an in-houseMATLAB program that allows the students to perform design studies with respect to powerproduction and energy costs for several design parameters, including location and size.This paper continues with an overview on ocean energy, along with details of the various waveenergy systems. The particulars on the thermodynamic models, the project statement, and sometypical design analysis results are then be presented. Next, student feedback on the project willbe reviewed.

NASA has experimented with iton the ISS to demonstrate that additive manufacturing is a possibility in a zero gravityenvironment, and this technology can be used to transport material in bulk for printingreplacement parts. It can be used for maintenance, upgrades, etc., in zero gravity to extend thelifespan of isolated spacecraft.

Presently, it is the only single platform that can successfullyaddress constructability and design integration issues. However, working with BIM software hasproven difficult for many designers because of the narrow range of designs that are possible withthe applications. To overcome BIM’s limitations as generative software, the course approach wasto focus on selected software capabilities that allow for unencumbered creativity in the context ofsuitable design language.

Limited testing was performed with a rider on an actual bike by one of theteam members and it provided a useful mechanism for adjusting the acceleration thresholding andrelated processing. It is worth mentioning that similar technology exists for bike helmets already,but this concept is different in that hardware is mounted directly to the bike which has certainadvantages, such as insensitivity to the rider’s own motion.

By allowing students to developmodels and practice problem-solving applications, these misconceptions can be exposed andcorrected.One of the ways to promote problem solving is through the use of MEAs, which were originallydeveloped in the mid 1970’s to understand how students studying mathematics develop and useproblem-solving thought processes. Rather than focusing students towards a singular answer,MEAs encourage the development of a problem-solving strategy

While information was available for the development of this class, additional materials for faculty to assist and encourage PBL implementation into their courses is needed. The research on self-directed learning is highly linked to the use of SD-PBL in the class; however, data on the effectiveness of PBL on self-directed learning in engineering education is limited.AcknowledgementThe authors would like to thank Thomas Dion and Timothy Mays for their enormouscontributions to the combined capstone class experience.References1.
