The newapproach uses a model checker and a specification tool to teach Linear Temporal Logic (LTL), aspecification language that is widely used in a variety of verification tools.1 Introduction In software engineering, formal techniques such as software runtime monitoring [5], and modelchecking [3, 8] require formal specifications that are based on mathematics. Formally specifying thebehavior of a software system, however, is a difficult task because it requires mathematical sophis-tication to accurately specify, read, and understand properties written in a formal language

For example, Sterian et al.1 developed a project-based approach to teachingintroductory circuit labs with a special focus on intuitive understanding of simple circuits.Unfortunately, their report does not provide information on the enrollment in their course, andincludes only a cursory description of the surveys conducted in connection to the newlydeveloped projects.

More relevant to our concerns is an online communicationsimulation environment (known as WriteSim TCExam) being developed by Duke University:their effort is to provide simulations of scientific research publications accompanied by quizzesthat require students to identify strengths and weaknesses in the texts. This work is designed forbiomedical graduate students to improve their identification of problems and thus improve thewriting of their own publications. The simulated manuscripts and quizzes help noviceresearchers learn to identify strengths and weaknesses in scientific writing, with some emphasison problems of organization and purpose in the texts. This approach requires that students readpassages with a variety of typical errors

The twoauthors taught the class in consecutive semesters and followed-up on the same experiment inboth classes. This effort is in-line with recent departmental emphasis on integrating design intothe engineering curriculum. The Department has recently instituted a five-course, four-yeardesign sequence in its curriculum with the hope of graduating better engineers. Another benefitto the current PBL experiment, besides emphasizing to students the integration of design intoengineering practice and education, was to give students an opportunity to use the 3D CADsoftware that they have learned in the year or two before taking Dynamics.

-Southwest Annual Conference Texas Tech University Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering EducationDuring one of the sessions dealing with the topic Creativity and Design, a poster session washeld. Research projects from all engineering departments were showcased using posters, withfaculty and/or graduate students on hand to describe the project and explain results. Studentsfrom the class were expected to circulate among the posters, and gather information about one ormore of the projects. An average of 30 minutes was allocated for this activity. Students werethen asked to write a summary of one of the projects in 100-150 words. For a class of 200students, approximately 15
