This has been largely accomplished, and thechallenges of the initial phases of this task were presented in a previous publication.

Working on theseprojects, students gain knowledge and skills in project handling, technical writing, problem-solving skills, evaluation process, and oral presentation techniques. Many times the projects arenot completed on time because of lack of estimating the difficulty of the design, or the timeinterval required to gather components and assemble the given design.

The amount of detail is purposefully limited sothat the complete model may be implemented in an engineering science course.To assess the PDM process, we examined three types of data acquired during a recentimplementation in a fluid mechanics course.
