Once the AEPs were developed, they were reviewed bythe course instructor to ensure that the scope of the project was reasonable for the course. Eachindustrial partner presented their AEP to students using their own words, without modificationsfrom faculty members, in order to preserve the authenticity. After the industrial partner’spresentation of the problem, students worked in three-person teams to solve the AEP. During atwo-week period, the instructor facilitated a discussion among students and guided them todetermine the knowledge they must gain and information they must gather to solve each AEP.

In the conception of the new engineering programs, project-based learningwas identified as a key component of the curriculum, and consequently the majority of courses inthe department have a weekly lab component. While the labs provide an opportunity for hands-onlearning, problem solving at all levels is primarily practiced through weekly homework problems,in introductory courses up through senior-level courses on more advanced topics.This case study
