environment for project execution. It will use modern computational
Hours of instruction: 3 lecture hours
platforms, like Matlab, SolidWorks, Cosmos and Labview to
Location of instruction:
implement these topics in engineering student practice . It will also
will be
defined
Language of instruction: Hebrew
establish an Academia- Industry cooperation platform.
Cycle: First circle
Position: a mandatory module for 4 th year
Aims of the module:
undergraduate students in the Dept. of Material
-The idea of this project-based learning module is that real-world
problems capture students' interest and provoke serious thinking as
the students acquire and apply new knowledge in a problem-solving
context, that will be reflected in their presentation and projects.
-The teacher plays the role of facilitator, working with students to
frame worthwhile questions, structuring meaningful tasks, coaching
both knowledge development, and carefully assessing what students
have learned from the experience requires critical thinking, problem
solving, collaboration, and various forms of communication, often
known as "21st Century Skills."
-Prepare the students for industrial/research carrier
-Build a standard and rich environment for their Final Engineer

General prerequisites:.Computer
application 2
Grading scale: the grading scale would be
determined on the scale of 0-100,passing grade
is 56
Objectives of the module: specific statements of the teaching
intention in the module and what it hopes to achieve.
-Give to engineering student a depth understanding of modern
engineering concepts, broader knowledge base, improved
communication and interpersonal/social skills, enhanced leadership
skills, increased creativity, and improved writing skills
-Students pursue solutions to nontrivial problems by asking and
refining questions, debating ideas, making predictions, designing
plans and/or experiments, collecting and analyzing data, drawing
conclusions, communicating their ideas and findings to others,
asking new questions, and creating artifacts
-Students working as a team are given a "driving question" to
respond to or answer.
