Abstract This paper presents examples of teaching Mechanical Design using a pragmatic approach. The pedagogy used herein embeds real-world experience and projects into the curriculum by taking representative case studies from industry and creating course projects. The approach focuses on using sanity checks using free-body diagrams and hand-calculations, materials specification and proliferate used of commercial off the shelf parts supplier catalog data. Case studies from course projects are presented demonstrating the above skill set reinforcement. The assessment of the student work is presented as it is related to the ABET learning outcomes of the mechanical design curriculum track.

Approach To Teaching

This chapter lays the foundation for an authentic integrated approach to learning. Music technology is a key component in most approaches that integrate STEM with Music. The connecting of multiple content areas through the arts, or music, can be used to increase teacher collaboration. The key areas of arts integration, STEM, STEAM, and how these can effectively and authentically exist together in the classroom to increase student engagement and connections to the content areas and concepts, are defined through a research-based and pragmatic approach. By incorporating the fundamental definitions and understandings posited by this chapter into one’s teaching students will be given opportunities to connect STEM concepts to the artistic processes.
