Themain objectives of this effort are to expand the boundaries of students’ knowledge by engagingthem with the planning, design, build, and test concepts. The process included the reorientationof theory taught in the class and required an active student participation in a special designproject. The whole idea was to incorporate a hands-on design project and other pedagogicalchanges to transform the student’s learning into a pleasant and fulfilling experience. The projectwas successfully completed for the first time in the spring of 2005.

This has to be done in a way that does not undermine theauthority of the primary speaker.

Relate – “Emphasizes team efforts that involve communication, planning, management and social skills.” Although IRRAE is “Independent,” it flourishes within the context of the MEPP student cohort and benefits from peer review and group expertise in an engineering community of practice. 2. Create – “Students have to define the project (project domain) and focus their efforts on application of ideas to a specific context.” The work for IRRAE is the creation and completion of a useful applied engineering project. 3. Donate – “Stresses the value of making a useful contribution while learning. Ideally, each project has an outside ‘customer’.” IRRAE projects are expected
