A simple web camera captures hand motion and algorithms interpret variousgestures in real-time. For instance, simply by moving their hand up/down or left/right, seemingto “grab” and push or pull the end of the beam, students can intuitively vary input parameterssuch as load or displacements to the free end of a cantilever beam. Feedback, such as axial stressdistributions, is displayed in real time. This approach provides a supplementary tool that is muchmore current with the state of the art for learning tools and provides for the need to keep studentsengaged and interested in various exercises, while still delivering many of the

IntroductionThe world faces concurrent energy and pollution crises. Rapid population growth and an increasein the living standard in many emerging countries have led to a greater demand for fossil fuels.Over the next 25 years, the societal requirement for energy is forecasted to increase by 36% withthe bulk attributed to developing countries1. The demand for energy will eventually outpace theability to supply energy from traditional resources. Most industry experts believe that an energycrisis is likely for

The importance of exposing students to all possible scenarios inapproaching deterministic or random processes, especially where the complexity of theproblem involves superposition of both deterministic and random procedures, is thereforeparamount. Successful students must have the knowledge and confidence of how to approachsuch complex problems, to dissect, analyze and then synthesize the problem, and tointelligently interpret and validate the results obtained

Advances in power electronics and emerging demands require changes in boththe theoretical and practical course aspects [8-27]. However, traditional practical classes into theelectrical engineering curricula may obviate this fact because they are seen by students as a mererequirement without any real world interest. Therefore, the main skill involved in electricalengineering (scientific knowledge transfer to society) is not enhanced because students do not seethe real applications carried out in practical sessions.

Hands-on approaches appear consistently across CT researchbecause they evoke experiences that make the application of CT observable, thus making theconcept more tangible [13].

Teaching content through skills is one of theprimary distinguishing features of PBL. More commonly, instructors introduce students toteacher determined content via lecture and texts. After a specific amount of content is presented,students are tested on their understanding in a variety of ways. PBL, in contrast, is moreinductive: students learn the content as they try to address a problem. The “problems” in PBLare typically in the form of “cases”, narratives of complex, real-world challenges common to thediscipline being studied.

Indeed, as their studies delve deeper into upper division courses, matters evolvefrom conceptually straightforward (i.e., statics) to more sophisticated (deformable) andpotentially abstract (thermodynamics). Challenges can arise correcting mistaken preconceptions,and linking perceptually-abstract mathematical formulas to real-world examples. Indeed, studies[1], [2] show that students value real life applications of the material covered, and that suchapplications contribute to a deep conceptual knowledge.Western Kentucky University offers programs in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering,presented with a focus on project-based learning.
