Implementation of Project Based Learning in Mechanical Engineering Education to Enhance Students' Interest and Enthusiasm

Design a cost-effective Bending/Compression educational laboratory test apparatus

“…The goal of this project is to design a cost-effective device that can be used for demonstrative educational purposes to facilitate student learning. A design project like this encourages them to work as a team, communicate, self-learn, gain experience in project management and enhance students' interest and enthusiasm [1], [2], [3]. Students are required to apply their knowledge acquired throughout the material science course and, at the same time, work in their communication and writing skill.…”
