and competencies can be integrated easily in casestudies. Most importantly, case studies can make classroom learning an enjoyable experience.The use of case studies in technical education, however, has been somewhat limited. Recentlyand after recognizing the importance of case studies, engineering and technology educators aretrying to follow their counterparts in other fields. As a result, there is a growing need andinterests in work-based case studies for engineering and technology education.IV. System Approach to Problem SolvingWe, educators, often notice that most students can solve a specific task or a problem that is welldefined and directly related to topics covered in the classroom. On the other hand, most studentsfind much greater

Both architecture and architectural engineering studentsare required to take this course. The course requirements are somewhat different for the twomajors, and often less than a quarter of the class is AE students. We have come to call this theComprehensive Semester because it not only requires the use of information learned throughoutthe curriculum, but also incorporates a studio, a technology seminar, and a management courseinto a tightly knit whole. Throughout the semester, all students integrate architectural design withmechanical and structural systems design

Cornwell4 described the new distribution of topics in mechanics coursesand demonstrated the improvements made possible by a new sequence of curriculum. In an effortto span over freshman and sophomore years courses, Belytschko25 developed a curriculum byintegrating a subset of mathematics and science with engineering. It targeted engineering designto foster freshman year students through a four-course sequence called “Engineering Analysis”25.Nonetheless, changes in curriculum face two major challenges. First, it is difficult to assess theimpact of curricular changes in a short time, and no

It is not required for the students to undergo thetraining. Rather, students who are interested in getting industrial experience are welcome toparticipate. The importance of providing industrial experience to the students while in school hasbeen recognized by the educational as well as the industrial community. Several schools havebeen successful in establishing such programs [3],[4]. But how to fit such an experience in thetightly knit four-year curriculum is still an open question.

The incorporation of PBLCAS focuses on the integration ofmechanical design concepts as learned through a semester long project and tied assessmentmethods. The advantage of such an approach is that students learn the various fundamentalaspects of the course through facets of the same project or learning experience rather thanentirely different and separate projects. Usually, in a traditional learning settings, providing abig, semester long project is unlikely.
