Team Organization and Independent Learning in Engine Simulator Laboratories

This paper presents the continuing development of a teaching methodology used for engine simulator lab classes where independent learning and team organization play integral parts. The implementation of these methods has dramatically improved student learning in our stream and diesel simulator classes. The authors wish to share their findings as they continue to experiment with new methods in order to improve the program and work toward a standardized set of lessons and teaching methods for engine simulation instruction. The authors are not suggesting that the methods utilize by the program are the ideal way to teach for all institutions, but it is their hope that the paper will be a springboard for discussion and the sharing of ideas.
