The ability to do this adds to theappeal that LEGO® has for many students who are well familiar with their use. Experiencesfrom implementing a LEGO® based CAD project in a freshman course that teaches EngineeringDesign and Graphics will be used to underscore the benefits of using this approach.IntroductionCAD instruction is a required part of the curriculums of many engineering and

Though this list of topics mayseem to be a hodgepodge, it is somewhat reflective of the eclectic nature of engineering.Through the use of a theme problem for the course, three computer mini-design projects wereconducted. The use of the theme problem provided continuity to the course and demonstratedthe engineering relationships of these eclectic topics.The theme problem chosen was the analysis of a land based gas turbine power system.

However, integrating PBL proves to be a challenge, especially in largelecture classes typically required for freshmen and sophomore engineers. Junior Enterprise (JE),a student-led non-profit consulting organization comprised of undergraduate and graduatestudents, provides a solution to this problem.

The paper seeks to address theshortage of skilled workers in construction and to drive an increase in the construction workforceby connecting faculty and industry to provide students with practical, real-world experience andto ensure that the skills they learn are relevant and in-demand in the industry. Wyoming added5,672 jobs in 2018, with the construction industry accounting for more than half of the increase.This positive feat may be unsustainable going forward due to a projected decrease in high schoolgraduates between 2020
