Thesevariables were: a. The amount of course related “homework” typically employed. b.The amount of “self directed learning” undertaken. c.

Among these fields, mechanical engineering technology stands outas an area where technology can significantly enhance the educational experience. Mechanicalengineering technology requires students to develop a comprehensive understanding oftheoretical principles while also applying these concepts to solve real-world problems.Traditional methods of teaching in this discipline often rely heavily on lectures, textbook-basedlearning, and limited hands-on laboratory experiences. While these approaches providefoundational knowledge, they are often hindered by significant challenges. These include thehigh cost of advanced equipment, restricted access to

Historically,many students (inside and outside of the honors program) have received credit for completingundergraduate research, but this is often a “stand-alone” course with no additional preparation andill-defined outcomes.
