The School of Engineering is a recentexpansion for the college; a major gift in 1992 from the Rowan Foundation was the catalyst foradding engineering. Our new engineering programs seek to use innovative methods of teachingand learning to better prepare students for entry into a rapidly changing and highly competitivemarketplace. Key program features include: (1) an analytical and hands-on balance createdthrough collaborative laboratory and lecture material; (2) an emphasis on teamwork as thenecessary framework for solving complex problems; (3) incorporation of appropriatetechnologies throughout the curricula; and (4) creation of

Students in a freshman-leveldigital circuits design class, which was historically biased to electrical and computer engineering(EE/CE) majors, served as study participants. Since over 85% of the students enrolled in thecourse were aerospace and mechanical engineers (AE/ME), we wanted to observe whether thestudents connected disparate EE/CE laboratory topics to real-world AE/ME applications(problem-based learning) after writing a substantial research paper on a topic of their choosing,within the broad category of aircraft control systems and design.

The class terminates with a simple trussfabrication exercise. Since the exercise is conducted on the first day the class gives the student’sthe opportunity to use their best judgment in fabrication of a truss. A single triangular truss witha 6 inch base is required using the balsa material available. The bridges are weighed and loadtested in a later class. This early exercise is provided to give the students a sense of thefabrication process and a better understanding of the materials they are using.

must traverse. One technique that is popular with educators is incorporating “hands-on” projects intoengineering courses [49, 2, 5, 14, 25, 34, 35, 38]. A new effective approach is to use mechanicaldissection [2, 5, 14, 25, 34, 35, 38, 27]. The underlying philosophy is explained in the paper“Mechanical Dissection: An Experience in How Things Work,” by Sheppard of StanfordUniversity [38]. The basis of the philosophy is to provide a fun experience for the students, toget them to probe the working principles of a mechanical system, to understand it hands-on, andto motivate them to stay with engineering as a course of study. Such mechanical “tinkering”courses give beginning engineering students the exposure to industrial products. Sheppard
