Hands-on projects aremotivating and help sustain students’ interest in technology and the curriculum to prevent themfrom switching to other majors2. The need to encourage the study of engineering is becomingmore important as globalization and information sharing helps other countries compete with theU.S, and many traditional engineering activities are outsourced.In the course of study students are given work orders, as if they were an employee of a company.Their manufacturing facility, the laboratory, is equipped with various industrial tools includinglathes, milling machines, testers, and other machine equipment.

The outcomes of thisproject will be assessed by means of surveys/questionnaires and students’ achievementcomparisons. If successfully implemented, JiTT will benefit both the traditional and non-traditional student groups in engineering. This project will not only introduce JiTT into a veryimportant engineering program, but also serve as an example of using technology and innovativeteaching strategies to promote active learning in undergraduate engineering education.Introduction of JiTT Just-in-Time Teaching is a feedback-intensive teaching and learning strategy [1]-[7].

While STEM attrition is a problemthroughout the 4-6 years of college study, the first-year experience (FYE) is most critical toretention of students in STEM disciplines. Thus, a focus on promoting success in the first yearwill help to ensure that students remain in STEM disciplines, as opposed to switching majors ordropping out. The primary barrier to success in Engineering/Technology is the mathematics“gateway” calculus sequence; the barrier to success in Science/Mathematics is generalinnumeracy and scientific illiteracy.
