It has been observed that Engineering Technology students learn better by doing/building things. Applying theoretical concepts to practical applications enhances their overall understanding. This is especially true in the area of Mechanical Design. In order to accomplish this, we, in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department, University of Cincinnati, have incorporated National Design Competition projects (ASME, ASEE) in the lower division design course. Students design, build and test their models. This process helps students in visualizing results of their team design. This paper describes the inclusion of these projects in our sophomore level Design of Machine Elements course. Student reactions to these projects and to the team work are also discussed.
