West Point Bridge Designer (WPBD) software was developed to provide students with arealistic introduction to engineering through the design of a steel truss bridge. WPBD users can: • graphically create a structural model; • define the material and mechanical properties of each structural member; • run a simulated load test to determine if the structure is strong enough to carry a standard, code-specified loading; • display an animation of the load test, with members color-coded to indicate tension (blue), compression (red), and internal force-to-strength ratios (color intensity); • modify the design to strengthen any inadequately designed members; and • minimize the cost of the design, by modifying member

One team kit consisted of several hundred parts,including motors, a radio controller, mixer and receivers, as well as tools. Each kit wascontained in four cases, stored in a 20 cubic foot bin. In addition to the kits used byparticipants, there were pool liners and lumber for the pools, tarps and rolls of carpet toplace the pools on, pumps and other support materials. After every use, parts needed tobe replaced and/or repaired. The size of the kits and support equipment meant specialarrangements were required to ship kits for outreach activities.

oftraditional education, while beneficial for educating basic core materials, often do not providestudents a pathway into the world of synthesis – more specifically innovation. For students to besuccessful in today’s workforce they must acquire higher-order thinking skills alongside theirunderstanding of basic concepts.To get students operating at higher metacognitive levels educators must create an environment inwhich the students are confident and willing to share their ideas and knowledge [9]. It is onlywhen communication starts, that diverse ideas can form. Once those ideas form, educators musttake care to not stifle them and educate the students to do the same. New ideas are oftenconfronted with criticism which quickly prevents any form of

For compositions of PBL, the classroom roles shift from teacher focused tostudent-centered learning models that more self-directed [20]. In both cases, studies have shownthat PBL has led to improved student performance, higher quality of peer interactions, and morepositive student attitudes [6].Many researchers such as Snyman and Kroon [21], Barragán et al.
