The PDI approach was structured as anextracurricular graduation requirement that involved periodic workshops [4]. With the start ofthis new curricular project the decision was made to integrate as much of the professional skillsdevelopment into the curriculum as possible and move away from the previous PDI model.There are indications in the literature that students have a preference for professional skills beingintegrated into the curriculum rather than being presented in separate courses or workshops.

In order to customize a part of it in the engineeringeducation, this paper attempts to present a novel approach of implementing problem-basedlearning projects in the class. In particular, to learn classical and modern control techniques andsimulation, these types of projects can be introduced in the class projects of control systems,robotics and mechatronics courses offered to junior and senior level undergraduate students inmechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering. As in the literature, these type of activitiesmostly have been practiced and relied upon establishing a separate one or two credits laboratorycourse devoted to experiments

Description of the ENGR 220 CoursePrior to the full implementation of the integrated engineering curriculum 1-4 in the 1999 -2000 academic year, a traditional mechanics sequence of statics, mechanics of materials,dynamics and fluid mechanics was in-place for civil and mechanical engineering. One ofthe most significant problems associated with this traditional sequence is that studentswere taught to calculate forces

primarily as local endpoints and were not taking advantage oftheir formative nature. Instead of discussions of long-term solutions, teams were focusing on theshort-term achievement of passing a particular performance test. To combat this tendency, in2017, a failure analysis component was added to the course [2].Inspection of the literature indicates that this was a relatively unique approach. Most articles thatdiscuss failure analysis in engineering education come from particular engineering disciplines,such as civil engineering or materials science, and describe approaches such as providing partsthat previously failed to students to analyze [3] or including case studies of prior events in thediscipline [4]. A recent publication [5] describes an
