In this unit, students are tasked with designing a vehicle that canspeed up, slow down, and turn on smooth and rough surfaces as well as in water. As theydevelop background knowledge necessary for this task they learn about forces and friction.Unit SummaryLesson ObjectivesLesson 1: Friction Students learn about friction as they measure the force required to drag aSleds sled across different surfaces. They then investigate the effect of changing the mass of the sled has on friction. Once done, they use their data to

Mills &Treagust in their paper on application of problem-based and project-based learning inengineering education identify critical issues to be addressed in the philosophy and delivery ofengineering education. The identified issues are 2:  Curricula being too focused on engineering science rather than providing integrated topics related to industrial practice.  Providing insufficient design experience to students  Lack of teamwork and design experience to students  Outdated culture of learning strategies and a need towards identifying more

Medical imagingrelated courses, such as physics of medical imaging, medical imaging signals and systems, imagereconstruction principles, etc., are usually offered by electrical engineering, computerengineering, and particularly biomedical engineering programs. Biomedical engineering (BME)education, a part of STEM, has developed as an interdisciplinary engineering training area in thelast 30 years. Based on the current ASEE College Profiles3, BME undergraduate enrollment hasbecome one of the most rapidly growing engineering majors (Fig. 1 below).Fig. 1 Undergraduate enrollment in Biomedical Engineering has increased more than four timesfrom year 2000 to year 2013.
