PBL focuses on writing assignments that are authentic, situationalassignments in response to real project demands rather than responding to hypotheticalsituations. To generate enthusiasm for the course, the topics chosen for each of the writingassignments were selected to be of personal and/or professional value to the students.Based on the results of student surveys, this paper documents the improved capability forstudents to present technical information and convey meaning more precisely by using a PBLapproach. This improved capability is the result of students being exposed to situational,professional and STEM-specific writing tasks. Both quantitative and qualitative results from acase

graduating from the United States Air Force Academy(USAFA). In 2010 there were 28 graduates. In 2020 there were 15 ECE graduates. This declineis not necessarily unique to USAFA. The United States saw only 10% of the global science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) bachelor’s degrees in 2018 [1]. About half ofstudents who enter a STEM program do not graduate with a STEM degree; most of thesestudents drop out during their first or second year of college due to the increasing difficulty andcomplexity of STEM programs [2], [3], [4]. To motivate and engage students, undergraduateeducators must design a curriculum that integrates hands-on learning early in the program that isrelevant and can provide students a sense of ownership of their educations

Use of some of the math and/or CAEtools as a part of a machine design course is believed to help performing parametric studies andto evolve alternative designs. Due to its nature, students should be taught to appreciate open-endedness and ambiguity of design requirements that are inherent

Engineering has not, however, been broadly embraced by liberal arts institutions,often being seen as being overly career-focused and not sufficiently broad in its educationalapproach. Liberal arts institutions also tend to be much smaller in size, which can make itchallenging to furnish an engineering program with the specialized facilities and equipment itrequires. Furthermore, liberal arts institutions typically have comparatively larger core curricula,which can make it challenging to design a robust engineering curriculum that is completable infour years.A few small engineering colleges exist (e.g. Harvey Mudd, Rose-Hulman, and Olin College)whose enrollment ranges from a few hundred to a couple thousand
