As educators, we are sympathetic with these requests but find that theuniversity is generally unable to apply “hands-on” design experience with eventually leads to theproduction of a prototype. This problem has not gone unnoticed in the field of education today,and there have been great leaps in the creation of more “hands-on” teaching methods that lendthemselves to industrial applications2. Throughout schools and universities within the UnitedStates and internationally, there has been growing interest in the use of practical control conceptsin and beyond the classroom. This has been accomplished to a large extent through the use

Dynamics was a second-yearcourse taken by students in the mechanical engineering stream which introduced the conceptsof dynamics for particles and rigid bodies. Control systems was taken by mechanical engineeringstudents in their third or fourth year, and focused on modelling systems using transfer functionsand then using these to design simple feedback controllers. These courses were selected for thisproject given they introduce and then build upon challenging yet fundamental engineering con-cepts (Steif and Dollar 2005), have historically poor progression rates (Prusty et al. 2011), and havesignificant emphasis on

Strengthening 21st Century Skills in Undergraduate Students through Project-Based Design CourseDeeksha Seth, Gabriel Carryon, Dr. James TangorraDrexel UniversityAbstractThere is sufficient evidence to support that the need for innovators in the country appeals for amakeover in the engineering pedagogy at a K-16 level. Studies suggest that problem-basedlearning methods can aid in nurturing the development of 21st century (C21) skills namely: “(a)Creativity and Innovation, (b) Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, and (c) Communicationand Collaboration”. To that end, a project-based engineering design course is developed andtaught to undergraduate mechanical engineering students at Drexel University. The

Thereare three ways that we have introduced research and design into the classrooms at our institution:embedded research, independent research, and travel-study courses.Classroom embedded research is usually the student’s first exposure to undergraduate research.Rather than cookbook labs (“Measure 3 g of sodium, stir briskly”) or projects (“Create a programto analyze thermocouple data”), where appropriate, labs and projects are refocused to allowstudents to explore the material in a way that becomes relevant to them.Independent research on the surface appears to

In case some deficiency is noted in the conceptual symmetry, the student willbe sent to a higher level in order to develop the same concept, however in a differentway (incorporating more media and sub-concepts) than the one presented in theprevious level. This way, we are able to diagnose eventual flaws in the teaching-learning process. We have, then, implemented the Diagnostic evaluation. It should be understood that each concept has its own assessment form,presentation of educational materials and mediums.

In fact, we now cover topics in exactly the reverse order in whichthey were covered before.This new "bottom up" approach utilizes an intensive regimen of laboratory exercises,which require students to add a new feature to an existing corpus of software. To add thenew feature, a student must first understand and then redesign (or refactor) the existingcode, which we designed for the purpose of illustrating the complexities that arise inlarge software.

they worked on the problem and agreed with the solution. Allmembers of the homework team are expected to participate and work together in thehomework/study group. The motivation for forming homework teams is two fold. First, numerousstudies have shown that “collaborative learning” (i.e. working as a group) is an effective way tolearn material. Second, as students move out into industry they find that most engineering projectsare group projects and that they need to learn to work with people in a group or team setting. Istress to the students that the purpose of the working in teams is not to “spread the work around,”but to enable each team member to learn and benefit from the knowledge and perspective ofothers.

It hypothesizes that large-scale enterprises are more likely to successfullyintegrate these technologies due to their greater access to financial and technical resources,whereas smaller firms face more significant challenges due to inadequate infrastructure andregulatory frameworks.
