One is the course material and student learning, and the other is the influenceof involved faculty and their reactions. It is shown how faculty interests as well as outsideinfluences have affected the nature and success of this course.Introduction and BackgroundWe believe that there are two important metaphors in engineering (and so in engineeringeducation). One is the value of mental discipline to climb over steep parts of the learning curve.The other is the use of the proper tool for the job at hand. These metaphors underlie ourpedagogical philosophy that we attempt to justify in this paper. We will call it Theme A. It is,simply stated, a scheme of exposing students

Mechanical Engineering Students needed to closely collaborate with Students ofbiomechanical and health sciences background to ensure desired outcomes. For example, theincriminations of weight must be optimized based on muscle adaptation theories from exercisescience theories. More importantly, material selections became a safety factor which neededconsultation for the health department. For example, materials that are used for industrialpurposes might violate health and safety codes for when used with direct human contact. It isbecause of these few bridges between engineering and health science that made this project aunique experience for the students.3
