In thisstudy, we merged two design-based courses modules into the original course curriculum topromote the creativity of students in the field of material engineering. The course module (I)“User-Centered Design-Problem Definition” was offered based on the product and useroriented design aspects. The other course module “Experiential Manufacturing and MaterialAesthetics” was proceeded through project-based learning activities. The two course modules were combined into relevant course, Project Laboratory (1) &(2), on the spring semester (2016) as an elective course to undergraduate students.

Studio format is a method of teaching engineeringmaterial, using cooperative learning and hands on activities. This course is a requirement for allof our electrical engineering and computer engineering undergraduate students. The coursepreviously did not have laboratory content and in expanding the course we chose studio as analternative to laboratory format. Unlike other uses of studio format, the lecture component wasretained as-is. In this case studio is scheduled separately

ECE consist of several studio and project labs and the curriculum is developed withthe intent of incorporating multidisciplinary courses with a modern approach to teaching communication,basic science, and mathematics skills. As students can now own portable versions of a laboratory stationin the form of computer attachments small enough to carry in their backpacks7 the choice of the labequipment was the use of traditional laboratory stations with stand-alone instruments along with sets ofcomputer-based measurement equipment8. One of the ECE faculty is currently based in the Physicsdepartment teaching courses related to electrical engineering. The inherited Electronics course and labwere in need of significant restructuring. The goal of this

Selected subsystems of the engine are then reverse-engineered asclass assignments. The laboratory houses an electric vehicle and contains a variety of otherautomotive sub-assemblies for students to study. Students complete one design project in thecourse. They get to design a major subsystem for Tuskegee University’s SAE Mini-Baja contestvehicle.A survey of students taking the course indicates a substantially high level of interest in thecourse.
