The first course (Mechanics I) integrates elements of Statics and Mechanics of Solidsalong with a few topics from Civil Engineering Materials. The second course (Mechanics II)integrates the remaining elements of Mechanics of Solids with the majority of Civil EngineeringMaterials.A key pedagogical component in this integrated curricular restructuring is a structuredimplementation of problem-based learning: the use of overarching problems.

Activities in this level were covered in sessions of threemodules. In the final level, students were required to use the knowledge gained in the second levelalong with control systems theory and mechanics of machinery into developing mechatronicsystems that perform specific tasks based on closed loop control architecture.

To prepare for the emissions analysis lab, students study thecomposition of atmospheric gases, products of combustion, and the measurement of automotiveemissions. The laboratory component is the actual sampling of engine exhaust from studentselected automobiles using an exhaust emissions analyzer. Students use sample values ofemission concentrations for O2, CO, NO, and NO2, combustion kinetics, and fluid dynamics tocalculate the engine fuel flow rate, exhaust flow rate, and mass emission rates for CO and NOX.This paper presents an overview of the introductory studies followed by a description of

Since this time,students who are admitted into the university expressing an interest in engineering who do notmeet these criteria are admitted as undecided majors with a pre-engineering concentration. Theadmissions criteria were established by studying the graduation rates of students entering thecollege. The admissions criteria are a combination of high school GPA and ACT scores.

It should be noted that presenting cognitive strategies to students doesnot guarantee their achievement. Implementation of these strategies is not an easy task and needspersistent effort.
