The results showed that no major differences were observed in terms ofthe learned fluid mechanics content; however, the data showed interesting preliminaryobservations regarding teamwork satisfaction. Through reflective assignments, studentperceptions of the PBL implementations were discussed in the paper. The perceptions werefound to be good and students seemed to appreciate the projects, although some believed theworkload was overwhelming. In addition, access to all the PBL course materials and assignmentswere provided. In conclusion, as an indication of PBL success, a few former students havereached out to the instructor to highlight some of the long

This course is a challenging course for the students as well as for the instructors.Students often find the material too abstract, too mathematical, and difficult to master when it ispresented in lectures [7]. Since this course is very abstract and mathematically intense, it is noteasy to teach as well. The instructors find it hard to keep students engaged all the time. Whenclass consists of an instructor

addressed using a second administration of theFMCI. A recent work of Kieffer et al. 3 explored the use of simulation in helping studentsachieve a better understanding of materials science concepts. They used a survey and studentperformance to assess impact. This latter point is also the main assessment of the current work. Itis the authors’ experience that exposure to simulation, such as the ones at hand, leads to a betterand fuller understanding of the basics.This paper is one of an ongoing series (see references 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) on the role of mathematicalsoftware in furthering the depth of understanding of the dynamics of mechanical systems.A major theme of the current work is the effect of non-linearities.

Thisapproach involves directly importing product designs and parts from industry, letting studentsperform standardized quality assessment procedures on them, and finally reporting back toindustry advisors for feedback. This practice helped students gain transferable skills andknowledge of industrial standards for future professional careers. The importance of standards in engineering education was also highlighted by Khan andKarim [16] where they mentioned several organizations that develop and implement codes andstandards including ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), ASTM (AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials), IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), andANSI (American National Standards
