These concepts quantify the unique property ofsurfactants to adsorb at interfaces and to aggregate in surfactant solutions to form micelles.Experiments to determine the CMC and the surface excess as a function of bulk surfactantconcentration are essential to student training. However, the measurement of these quantitiesoften requires sensitive equipment and complex mathematical models.

Inthe second phase, i.e., exploration, teachers encourage students to engage in creative thinking forexamining scientific questions, testing hypotheses, predicting the outcome of a situation, andtrying alternative approaches to solve a problem. Following the exploration phase comes theexplanation phase. For this phase to succeed, teachers need to introduce students to a hands-onactivity in which they are able to construct and explain science concepts based on their experience.In the elaboration phase, which aligns with the concept application phase of the learning cycle,teachers provide an opportunity for students to draw upon prior information to make connectionsand apply their newly acquired knowledge and

have on the overall system. ABET StudentOutcome (c) specifically refers to, “an ability to design a system, component or process to meetdesired needs…”.Another recent trend in engineering education has been towards an emphasis on experiential,hands-on learning. It is recognized that the practice of engineering requires a mix of skills, manyof which are best learned through experience. In engineering education, this experientiallearning most often takes place in capstone projects and industry internships. It is much lesscommon for core engineering courses like Design of Machine Elements to incorporate a project-based, experiential component. There are machine design courses that contain hands-onlaboratory modules, however these modules tend to
