For these students, the undergraduate catalog suggests thecourse be taken in the second semester of the sophomore year. The sole prerequisite course isMEEN 221 Statics and Dynamics. The catalog suggests that MEEN 222 Materials Science betaken in the first semester of the sophomore year, but MEEN 222 is not a prerequisite for CVEN305.The paper describes redesign of a mechanics of materials course to focus on design and

Figure 1 shows the physical setup forthis lab and the objectives were achieved by using nylon fishing line for processing, by applying arotational force until the line coiled and formed into a spring. This was based on extending workdone initially by Haines et al (2014). Figure 1: Lab setup for the Material Science and Engineering (MSE) LabStudents were able to further investigate what happens to the same material when it is furtherprocessed. The second example of processing was to heat treat the spring with a heat gun underload. After successful treatment which served to alter the entropy

IntroductionEach year, private industry spends millions of dollars in an effort to educate their engineers tomeet their company’s increasingly demanding goals. They continue to request engineers whoare not only educated in the fundamental sciences and applications of their field, but possessstronger communication and teamwork skills1,2. The National Research Council’s (NRC) Boardon Engineering Education recognizes this need and has called all engineering colleges to providemore exposure to interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary aspects of team work, hands-on experience,creative design, and exposure to “real” engineering and industrial

Though this subjectwas designated to be delivered as a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) subject, the educationalapproach taken was such that the PBL delivery was only a part of a pedagogical toolbox. Themain educational thrust was one of inductive learning and teaching derived from courses suchas creative arts. Aside from PBL, the inductive teaching approach incorporated Case-Based(CBL) and Enquiry- Based learning (EBL) which provided the appropriate pedagogicalscaffolding for knowledge integration.
