This entails the application of modern – more modernthan modern – science and technology. Many engineers have been engaged in a moderntechnical utopia through the Appropriate Technology Movement. In his criticism of thismovement12 described the better world vision involved in terms of a decentralized village-based society, a small-scale, labor-intensive technology, a stable economy and production onthe basis of identified human needs, creative work, and cooperation and participatorydemocracy. However, nominating this ideal society picture meant rejecting it and the wholeof the Appropriate Technology Movement. Consequently, it has

Robinson andHullinger [5] also measured online learners’ engagement using the NSSE, and found that themajority of students worked collaboratively, but sometimes did not feel they worked effectivelywith others. Communication was fairly regular among students, and most students felt that theonline course(s) enriched their work through online discussions, work knowledge and skills, andsolving complex real-world problems [5].

Problem-based learning has been defined as minds-on, hands-on, focused, experiential learning. (Wilkerson & Gijselaers, 1996). A problem-based curriculum is significantly different from the traditional discipline centered curriculum. (Woods, 1994). Instructors are considered to serve as problem-solving

In addition to designing the story plot and game logic, otheressential tasks during the creation of GBVLs are to virtualize the real world and to insert all of thevirtual representations of the real objects into the GBVLs’ environments. The traditional methodfor virtualizing real objects is to design the models of these objects with some CAD software andthen to convert these models to the model format of the GBVL. In creating these models, oneneeds to not only measure the real objects but also to draw their features.

. This seems to acknowledge the need for “real life”projects as a break from the strictly academic, theoretical framework and the involvement ofnon-academic engineers to provide the “applications” perspective. It also often provides studentswith valuable experience in presenting their cases outside the classroom environment.Such experience often provides the only exposure to such things as codes and their requirements,assessments of loadings for which there are no handbooks and the realities of limited budgetsand project phasing, that students get. Given the earlier mentioned link between accreditationand the licensing bodies, the question arises as to whether the accreditation criteria should beamended to embed this practice. While Canadian

Campell20 uses an enticing approach in hisuse of “model making and breaking”. Students design structures to strict specifications and thenbuild and test the structures to the point of breaking. The appeal to the student is high because itis fun to break things, and the relevance is there for structural engineers, but mechanicalengineering students may still struggle to see the connection to their careers. Sophomore-levelstudents do not yet have the experience to see that the tools used in analyzing structures will alsobe useful in analyzing moving parts--unless we give specific examples.Some real-world problems

It can provide a guarantee that the first kexecution steps of the system are correct with respect to the specified properties. If the propertiesare not satisfied, BMC can automatically return a counterexample of the length at most k.
