This paper focuses on incorporation of the teacher’s engineering experience intohis/her teaching style. The teaching style that is infused with lessons drawn from experience inengineering practice is called experience-based instruction (EBI).All engineering instruction is to some degree experience-based. Experienced engineers know theskills needed by entry-level engineers. The engineering community influences the content ofengineering curricula to ensure that necessary topics are addressed.

The technological innovation of the US is quickly eroding unless current trends arereversed9. The percentage of American students pursuing Ph.D.s in engineering has declinedfrom 70% in 1985 to 55% in 200510 . Yet, only 64% of students who begin engineering doctoralprograms complete their degrees within a ten year period according to the Council of GraduateSchools11.

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces.
