Using this method, faculty have overcome thelarge time commitment associated with implementation of PBL in a single course by integratingsmall components of the larger project into each of their classes and then linking thesecomponents with a culminating experience for all the classes. In order to enhance the PBLexperience for the students, first-year engineering learning communities were developed thatrequired dual enrollment in Calculus I and Fundamentals of Engineering classes. However, postassessment of the engineering retention data and student surveys indicated a need for retentionefforts once the students entered Engineering Statics and Calculus II. Current engineeringstudents enrolled in the learning community and progressing onto Engineering Statics andCalculus II also expressed their desire to move forward together in a continuing cohort.WTAMU faculty created a learning community based on common course objectives and PBL forEngineering Statics and Calculus II. The students were concurrently enrolled in these classes.This combined learning community and PBL experience addressed course concepts, reinforcedconnections between Engineering Statics and Calculus II, and provided real-world applicationsfor the students. Students viewed the experience as beneficial, increasing their understanding ofcontent and applications in each discipline.*corresponding authorBox 60767, Canyon, TX 79016806-651-5330 phone806-651-5259 fax
