Abstract
While projects appear to have much to offer engineering education, rigorous evaluations of the impact of projects on student outcomes are rare. The objective of the project is to study the incorporation of three group design projects into a sophomore level statics course and to measure the effect of the changes on student outcomes including content knowledge and various affective outcomes.
