A meta-analysis of 35 studies found astatistically significant effect that PbBL improved

The goalof the game is to design a control system that compensates for the unwieldy paddle dynamics andrestores normal functionality of the game. Using this game, students approach learningobjectives in an enjoyable way that promotes knowledge transfer. While we have yet toimplement this game in the classroom, the goal is to integrate the game throughout the durationof a semester as a series of interactive projects that we outline in this paper. This will form thebasis of a media comparison study assessing student outcomes in a traditional control systemscourse vs. a GBL

This gives students amore holistic engineering design experience, allows time for design thinking to develop, andexposes students to various design scenarios.

The simulator can be used to predict performance of ICengines using gasoline, diesel, methane, and hydrogen as fuels.

Many instructors had ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solutionmanuals, while many students did not consider the use of solution manuals as scholasticdishonesty [1]. Few studies have shown that the use of solution manual has an adverse effect onstudents’ learning [2-4].

Internships are designedto meet educational requirements established by the community college and are supervised by afaculty member in a credit-bearing course. They may be required for graduation or be anelective, be paid or unpaid, and typically mandate that students have earned enough creditstowards the degree and a high enough GPA to participate.
