Detailed information regarding the activities conducted in MET 210W is provided. Finally, the assessment techniques used in this course are described.IntroductionThe engineering education community has shown increasing interest in project-basedlearning approaches. The benefits of project-based learning include enhanced studentparticipation in the learning process, enhanced communication skills, addressing of awider set of learning styles, and the promotion of critical thinking.1 The authors feel thatthe use of engineering design and analysis projects provide students with a wider contextto the material

While a traditionallygraded course may contain several high-stakes, high-stress exams throughout the semestergraded with partial credit, an SBG course instead allows for students to retry learning outcomeswhere they have not yet shown proficiency. In short, the focus in SBG is student learning anddemonstrated expertise of standards and not competition between students or a fight for
