Three course experiences on instrumentation, electric vehicles andproject activities were reported by Rizkalla et al7,8,9. A summary of the outcomes from thesethree experiences are that the students were very satisfied, learned technical content not coveredin other courses, and felt that the course helped prepare them for the real world of engineering.From an instructor viewpoint the course(s) relied heavily on industrial cooperation, and includedhands-on experiences.

are some approaches that promoteactive learning. The following sections briefly describe these interactive learning modules tointegrate active learning into the classroom of the machine dynamics course.3.1 Problem-based learning (PBL)PBL is a way of designing and conducting educational activities using problems as stimulus andfocus for student activity. It is the classroom process that uses “real-world” problems to motivatestudents to identify and apply concepts, principles and information. It is intended to bridge thegap between a theoretical study of kinematics and the application to practical mechanisms. Inthis way, students should learn how to apply their basic knowledge to more realistic applicationsin a way that they may be able to

Particularly, 3D printing has the potential to foster studentself-efficacy through its tangible, creative STEM experiences (Buechley & Ta, 2023; Saorín et al.,2017). 3D printing allows students to visualize and physically create engineering solutions andprovide an immediate connection between abstract concepts and real-world applications. This study thus explored the impact of a 3D printing experience on rural students’ self-efficacy towards engineering. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following research question: Towhat extent and in what ways does 3D printing experience impact rural students’ engineering self-efficacy?Methodology A convergent mixed method design was used in this study

Statics is often taught in a very structured manner. I took this class taught in this style, which wasconducive to my learning style. My professor lectured on the equations and material we needed to know,assigned at least one problem for homework every night, and gave weekly quizzes. This style of teachingis not perfect for all students. In an effort to increase student curiosity and interest in the material, theprofessor can incorporate real world applications. This will appeal to different types of learners and mayencourage them to learn more in the future. The professor can also assign case studies that highlight theimportance of statics and the concepts of forces and moments.engineering economics Currently in Engineering Economics

It applies systems thinking principles directly to the challenges graduates will face in the workplace. For example, students learn how to use systems thinking to optimize supply chains, manage risks in infrastructure projects, and design policies that address societal challenges such as climate change or public health. 2) Real-World Relevance
