c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Work in Progress: Implementing Project-based Learning into Sophomore Mechanics CourseAbstractThe primary goal of an engineering curriculum is to lay the groundwork for the remainder of thestudents’ training. Traditionally, the curriculum primarily consists of lecture-based courses, withsome hands-on work, mostly through demonstration. In recent years, the curriculum has startedusing more project-based courses. In these updated courses, the theory covered via lecture ismerged with hands-on project work. This integrated approach is designed to not only give thestudents a foundation of the course theory, but to expand on that and give them practical, hands-on

Education 1It is generally accepted that learners retain much more knowledge from direct experience thanthey do from the standard lecture format [1, 2]. However, with the continuing trend ofengineering curricular contraction (UMR recently adopted a uniform 128 hour engineeringcurriculum which reduced the ME curriculum by five semester hours) it is difficult to introducenew laboratories to complement traditional lecture courses. Hence, to address the need for more“hands on” experiences in ME279, we created a “mini-lab” experience for students that requiredthem to apply what they learned during the first nine chapters of Norman Nise’s controls text [3]in a laboratory setting. This new project format gave the students a chance to augment

question ofwhether students would engage with them in a meaningful and relevant way. However, forstudents to get value from the project, it must spark their interest and motivate them to devotetheir time and energy to it [11]. Furthermore, students should be able to make connectionsbetween the project and their broader engineering experiences [12]. To determine how successfulthe project was in its pilot run, two questions had to be answered. First, how engagement wasgoing to be defined, and subsequently whether the project had engaged students based on thesettled-upon definition. Despite a wide variety of interpretations of the theory, at a high level, there is some agreementabout what constitutes student engagement. As Laird et al. [13] propose
