Engineering Design (EI-100) is a first-semester 3 credit required course for everyengineering program of Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP). Course content andclassroom activities are divided into three, two-hour sessions (Modeling, Concepts, andLaboratory) per week. Students have six different EI-100 facilitators (an instructor and teachingassistant for each session). UDLAP’s engineering students have in EI-100 a great opportunity fora multidisciplinary collaborative experience. EI-100 is a team-taught course that uses active,collaborative and cooperative learning, which has been a major player in UDLAP’s efforts ofengineering education reform since 2001. However, EI-100 could be improved taking intoaccount technological advances and recent

As such, we have historically supplemented ourphysics for engineers courses by integrating team-based design projects and instruction. Tojustify this, the projects have always been closely tied to the course content, which has often ledto relatively closed-ended project contexts. For instance, for many years, the design task in themechanics course was a mousetrap car that had to accomplish some goal that varied from

The first plan then for energy is to potentially use thesefossil fuel resources in conventional combustion power plants that follow thermodynamicscycles such as the Rankine, Brayton and Combined Cycles.
