, assessment methods, the students' backgrounds,and their feedback.IntroductionProject-based learning, particularly design-based projects, represents an extraordinarily effectivepedagogical method [1]. Similar to problem-based learning, design-based projects engagelearners actively in solving real-world challenges. This approach is widely acknowledged amongengineering educators as a means of shifting from passive to active learning paradigms withinthe classroom [2] [3] [4]. In this paper, I elucidate the integration of a design project into a bridgeexperiment within a Statics class, exemplifying the practical application and benefits of thiseducational approach.Class ProfileStatics, a fundamental branch of mechanics within engineering education, holds

authors also suggest the use of active pedagogies(guided practice, learning by doing), and integration of ethics issues in design courses, whichinherently consider ethical tradeoffs presented by design problems [6].The importance of instruction in ethics and professionalism has been recognized generally by thebusiness and higher education communities. Consider, for example, Bryant University andBentley University – two business-oriented universities that showcase a focus on “ethicalreasoning” (an element of Bryant’s First-Year Gateway core curriculum), and a “commitment tobusiness ethics” where students learn about “management and moral behavior (highlightedthemes of Bentley’s general academic approach of integrating business studies with
