-Based Learning (PBL) approach has been widely embraced as a teaching method,fostering collaboration among students to achieve a shared goal, and gaining knowledge and skillsthrough the exploration of engaging and complex problems for a specific period. While extensivelystudied in various educational contexts, from elementary to higher education, there has beenlimited exploration of the use of a design-project approach within PBL to enhance students'learning experiences. This paper illustrates examples of incorporating a design-project approach into the kinematicscourse, a pivotal component of the mechanical engineering curriculum. The design-project methodintegrates PBL principles, requiring students to apply theoretical knowledge to create

Student-teacher interaction is also necessary in developing a student-centered curriculum. Theproposed labs help structure learning environment through interactive participation. 1INTRODUCTION:With the restructuring of education pedagogies in many nontechnical courses, moreemphasis is given to approaches such as classroom discussions, participation and studentopinions.

nuanced facets of the exercise. This discovery basedon best practice led us to the notion of the spiral curriculum, as advocated by JeromeBruner [2].Bruner’s ideas have informed the teaching of composition for over two decades. Theapplication of recursion to the teaching of writing and re-writing is almost intuitive.Curricula designed under this pedagogical model sequence activities so that learnersreturn periodically to a previously covered topic to study the concept within the contextof information they have learned in the meantime. Each return provides an opportunityto link new knowledge with existing knowledge.

This classification will also be useful to assess the efficiency of the implementationof the unified approaches to be suggested:! Strictly mechanical projects: For these projects, a traditional mechanical engineering approach is required in order to design and build a first functional prototype of the product or of the system.
