In a capstone designcourse in environmental engineering focusing on simulation and a PBL design project, the authorsreported that students developed a much deeper understanding of course material, suggesting thatthe simulation activities outperformed their expectations.[18] At MIT, PBL has been implemented through a curriculum change based on the real-worldengineering context of a product's complete life cycle.

The university has agrowing engineering program (50 full-time students in the first complete four-year class in 2003,and over 180 in 2011), but there simply was not enough critical mass to maintain the inertia ofmany of these project ideas. As time went on, the faculty began to look for a way to add service-learning activities directly into the curriculum. The faculty investigated what resources wereavailable to support a course that

However, fundamental thermodynamic principles arise in so manyareas of chemical engineering that a sound background in thermodynamics is of immense valueto the undergraduate student. Providing the student with real world examples and applications ofthermodynamic principles from other chemical engineering courses/concepts can help them tobetter integrate their understanding of thermodynamics with these other topics and affords themthe ability to draw on this understanding to explore new and unfamiliar topics.

curriculum that would encourage and improve students’creativity? Additionally, Kazerounian and Foley [7] showed a valid argument for the importanceof creativity in engineering as well as a lack of techniques to foster it in our engineering students.Thus, an engineering professor at a western university developed a pedagogical approach toengineering graphics instruction called Conceptual Design Blending (CDB) that facilitatescreativity in engineering students. The term CDB has its root in Fauconnier and Turner’sConceptual Blending [8] and Arthur Koestler’s Bisociation [9] where students are asked togenerate an entirely new design using features of two or more pre-existing designs.
