Unfortunately, for many ifnot most students, it is not only one of the most dreaded courses in their entire curriculum, it isalso a course for which some students see little purpose (e.g., architectural and industrial engi-neers at Penn State University). We are trying to change this state of affairs at Penn State bymaking the course more interesting and relevant to students through the introduction of bothhands-on and computer-based experiments/projects that we call “activities”. In addition, throughthese activities we are hoping to address some of the needs and concerns expressed by accredita-tion boards such as ABET and agencies such as NSF with regard to engineering education [1–4].Details regarding
