. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Exposing Sophomore Students to Engineering Design Using an Innovative Project-Based Learning Approach1. AbstractThis study presents a teaching methodology developed through a 3-year-long iterative-study inorder to incorporate hands-on experiences in engineering courses and expose sophomorestudents to engineering design. Sophomore engineering technology students enrolled in a 200-level Computer Aided Design course participated in this study. An innovative Project-Based-Learning (PBL) approach with an embedded Agile Project Management (APM) is implementedto promote skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and self-management. These are skills
opportunity for innovation and entrepreneurship? Traditional educational labs focuson teaching specific laboratory techniques or to experimentally demonstrate key theoreticalconcepts.1,2 While important and necessary, this often does not lend itself to design. Examples ofthese include introductory chemistry and physics labs, in addition to many sophomore and juniorlevel engineering courses. On the other hand, design labs encourage creativity but are oftenlimited to specific courses, which in turn limits the breadth of resources available. For example, alab tied to electronics design would be held in a “dry” electronics lab and a lab tied tomechanical design would be held in a “dry” machining lab. Often, with both laboratory models,extensive time is

innovation while stillmaintaining high levels of technical proficiency.1, 2 Practicing engineers must constantlystrengthen their knowledge base and become more efficient in applying it. As processes andindustries rapidly evolve, they must use new and existing knowledge to solve novel andinnovative problems. Traditional teaching methods in engineering education have focused ontraining students to efficiently solve routine, textbook-like problems but fail to prepare studentsto use their knowledge flexibly in novel situations. While these typical routine problems arecommon in the curriculum, they are not representative of the problems that they will encounteras practicing engineers.
