One possible factor is lack ofknowledge about the field of engineering. Although the Next Generation Science Standardsincorporate some fundamental engineering concepts in K-12 education [2], many teachers werenot exposed to the field of engineering during college, limiting their students’ exposure andaccess to this field [3

Additionally,many of the professional skills and attitudinal dispositions that are emphasized by engineeringprofessional societies are difficult to implement in engineering courses and to assess.

Dewey, in his book on experience and education,proposes that the purpose of education is to build the capacity of youth to take on futureresponsibilities and be successful in life, through the acquisition of organized bodies ofinformation and prepared forms of skill that are effectively transferred from the instructionalmaterial3. Some amount of contextualization is necessary to appropriately design anyeducational structure for a given setting.

[6].Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered, socially interactive learning method thatrequires students to pursue a shared real-world goal with other participants through ongoingcommunication and knowledge sharing [7]. PBL helps students build higher-order thinking skillsand engages them in their own learning process as they try to solve ill-defined challenges thatcannot be solved by one person- they require the synthesis of skills and knowledge of the groupcollectively [8]. For example, Guyotte quoted a student who articulated how she perceived thebenefits of PBL, “this class was more like an experience than a class, and that’s how I feelcollege should be.” [1]. PBL has been shown to be a beneficial approach to motivate learning

In this study, such predicament isaddressed by strengthening pedagogical practices through the incorporation of physical visualsupplements during lectures as early as the students’ first Mechanical Engineering course calledEngineering Mechanics, and thus enhance the physical understanding of fundamental concepts. Inparticular, three visual sensor-based supplements were created: crane model, Baltimore-bridgemodel, and a four-cylinder engine model. The uniqueness of such physical models is theincorporation of a real-time monitoring system which allows the students to

However, some of these so-called “active learning” interventions still were fairly low-involvement techniques, such as usinga personal response system or completing a worksheet [16]. As mentioned above, there has beena push for greater student involvement in their own learning through flipped classrooms [6], [7]and a team-based focus [8], [9].

This could be because specific links from the project to other potentialapplications were not provided, making the extension of these technical skills to other locally-relevant problems weak. There was, however, an increase in this response with small effect sizefor those students who did not have any prior design-build experience. This
