Engineering Physics and Physics

studies in engineering, and gaining aninsight into what engineers do. The practical experience consists of several activities. There areseveral project learning outcomes that stem from project educational goals that arereinforced/implemented through project activities. The project learning outcomes include 1)development of teamwork skills, 2) increased appreciation for future coursework in physics,statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, 3) an early understanding of the role of experimental andanalytical approaches to engineering problem solving, 4) development of written communicationskills through writing technical team reports, and 5) increased appreciation for engineering byexperiencing a “real life” like hands-on engineering project from start

current and future coursework in physics anddynamics, 3) an early understanding of the role of experimental and analytical approaches toengineering problem solving, 4) development of written communication skills through writingtechnical team reports, 5) development of MS Excel programming skills applied to a real-life likeproject and 6) increased appreciation for engineering by experiencing a real life like hands-onengineering project from start to finish. These educational goals were either fully accomplished orit is too soon to tell as in the case of goal 6 that also seeks to improve retention.An anonymous exit survey (shown in Figure 11) using a 5-point Likert scale was completed by 52of the 65 students in 5 sections. The results are shown in
