From these curves thestudent groups must analyze the data to get baseline material properties. Sample two piece ballsare cut up so the students can get reasonable cover thickness values.

motivation to learn1, 2, 7.While project-based learning has been widely adopted for senior design capstone courses and isbecoming more common in freshman level courses8, the use of projects in intermediate coursesin engineering science is still rare. The National Science Board9 has identified three keychallenges facing engineering education including the need to retain more engineering majorsand the need to teach these students the professional skills needed to practice in the 21st century.Projects can be an important instructional strategy that engineering educators can implement toaddress these challenges; however, in-depth evaluations of the effect that project-based learninghas on a variety of student outcomes are difficult to find3.

Several papers and references are given, and students are encouraged to read thematerial, analyze the complicated problem area, and define the final problem statement theywant to solve which means that students are exercising their self-leaning skills. Furthermorestudents have to consider their own detailed project plan according to the overall plan for theworkshop.

This is too late for them to realize theimportance of earlier course material.A Dynamic Systems laboratory-based, hands-on project has been implemented which attempts toaddress many of the issues identified above.

The first numerical mini project/case study that forms aprelude to this project cannot be assigned very early in the semester; steady state multi-dimensional conduction has to be covered before that. It is also desired that course projects otherthan the senior capstone project be completed before the final week of classes.
