The two instructors together rapidly purchasedthe supplies.Following lunch, the students wrote process plans, manufactured their new product, andprepared and delivered oral presentations. The most creative project that fulfilled theobjectives of the activity was the “Cushy Tushy”, a toilet seat that is filled with slime tomake a comfortable seat.Introduction to Engineering CourseThe Introduction to Engineering Course was taught by Dr. High for the fall 2005 term.The course was made up of college freshmen that predominately chose to major inChemical Engineering.

Cal Poly Pomona, one of the 23 CSU Campuses, and its College of Engineeringrecently received an NSF grant to establish an Engineering Service Learning Institute (ESLI) todevelop a plan for college-wide implementation of service learning.Constructivist Teaching Model and Authentic Learning ExperiencesThe predominant pedagogical model today is based on a teacher-centered, didactic approach toinstruction. This is mostly due to the fact that educators, parents as well as administrators havenever encountered a learning experience in which they constructed meaning from the experience.Authentic learning approach to teaching

, engineering and design jobs will follow, as an engineer cannotdesign a product well without knowing how to manufacture a product. Althoughoutsourcing could be just a part of globalization, it may permanently hurt the U.S.industry’s competitiveness and product innovation capability if the trend continues. Inorder for the U.S. to stay competitive, product innovation is the best strategy so thatconsumers will continue to purchase higher priced yet higher value products. It is criticalto educate our future engineers about the importance of manufacturing1.To respond to the need for the enhancement of manufacturing education, theCoordinating Board for Higher Education in cooperation with the Missouri State Boardof Education prepared a Missouri State Plan

classroom foruse by sophomore level students. This involved the following steps. First, students were askedto focus on just one of the five business units and in particular analyze only one product to findout whether it was a good candidate for growing the company’s gross profits. The Personal Carebusiness unit was chosen since it was felt that the products were easily understandable to non-engineering students. The possibility of selecting the Super 120 Noage Lotion for funding wasconsidered. Next, the case was shortened for use in the class and the following scenario wascreated. Ms. Baldwin met with each of her assistants to layout plans for the data analysis andresulting report that she would then present to the CEO in the next retreat
