IntroductionAssessment is key to students’ learning and effective educational improvement [1]. This isparticularly critical in engineering, as a key objective of engineering education is teachingstudents how to apply scientific principles, how to reason about problems and how to thinkcritically. Unfortunately, prior research has shown that many students often resort to memorizingprocedures or processes, i.e., “plug and
Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Connecting Machine Design Concepts via an Undergraduate Forensic Engineering ActivityAbstractA typical Machine Design course covers a myriad of mechanical elements, each with a broad setof concepts, analytical methods, and best practices—which only become more complex whenassembled into an operational mechanical system. Often, the class becomes compartmentalizedto focus on one mechanical element at a time. While initially effective, allowing students totarget their efforts and study habits, it can be detrimental if no strong connections are builtbetween the different learning modules at the end of the class.This paper presents a case-study of a unique and highly engaging
