Engineering is an applied skillApplied skills are learned through practice

Imagine learning to ride a bicycle just

by reading about it!

Step 1: Swingleg over bike and

place feet onpeddles withoutfalling.

Step 2: Pushforward and startpeddling. Enjoyfeeling of glidingdown roadway.

Step 3:Important! Maintain

balance while riding.Falling may lead toinjuries.

Step 4:Alwayspractice ridingbefore getting onbicycle for firsttime to avoid fallingoff.

Good Luck!

To learnengineering

students must doengineering

What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand. Confucius

An Improved Learning Model

Hands-onexperience is the keyEvery Student, Every Assignment (ESEA)

Students learn more, faster, andbetter with unrestrictedaccess

to design tools

overall learning improves when

applied design skills taught early;

overallperformance improves

when design skills used frequently*

I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn. Albert Einstein
