The most popular program, “Worms Eat OurGarbage”, enables students to set up and maintain their own classroom worm bin [4].ME 481 serves as the capstone design course in the mechanical engineering program at MichiganState University. Student teams are assigned real world projects for the semester. Most of theseprojects are sponsored by industry, but each semester a few are humanitarian projects that look toserve the community. The Solar Worm Bin project came about due to the publicity of one ofthese humanitarian projects, Solar Ovens for Tanzania. The engineering teacher at Woodcreek

This program is a good example of a successful university-industry-governmentpartnership to provide an alternative internship experience for students that could serve as amodel for other universities with similar aims.IntroductionThe importance of university-industry partnerships has been recognized in engineering educationthroughout the world.

Overall, itwas found that the interactive activities discussed in this paper increased engagement,information retention, critical thinking skills and overall learning experience of the engineeringstudents.1. IntroductionIncorporating interactive teaching methods into post-secondary classrooms is not commonplacein North America, and there is uncertainty as to the efficacy of certain methods for engineeringeducation. Traditionally, engineering education has not included interactive activities focussedon real world applications. Rather, teaching methods have been restricted to traditional formatsincluding equations and step-by-step procedures which can restrict students’ creativity

3) PBL may lead to lower teacher ratings8. Some implementations of PBL provide significant prepared guidance from the instructor3 and this appears to improve student acceptance. For the curriculum as a whole, Brodeur9 recommends a progressive implantation of problem-based learning: “early experiences are designed to be success experiences with greater levels of faculty direction and support. As students’ confidence and initiative grow, they are introduced to more complex, unknown, real-world applications” (p. 7). PBL originated in the medical school at McMaster University and there is evidence for its benefits in these settings; evidence is less clear for engineering curricula3,4,5,8,10.• Project-Based Learning
