The Engineering Projects in Community Service learning (EPICS)Program at Purdue University8,9 has reported higher percentages of underrepresentedstudents and chapters of Engineers Without Borders have reported many chapters beingat or near gender balance.While the university programs are an asset, to impact the pipeline of engineering studentswould require pre-college programs to draw students into the college pipeline. Drawingstudents into this pipeline requires students to have a basic knowledge of engineering, tobe interested in engineering, and dissipating the current views of what it means to be anengineer. This paper will describe how a service-learning model has been adapted to thehigh school environment to encompass these

First,students can no longer determine the type of problem they are facing or which equations applysimply by recognition of the section of the text they are studying. While in school, material isbroadly segmented into courses that are refined into chapters and topics. The proper problemapproach is easily recognized and their success verified by the answers in the back of the book.When initially given a project the young practicing engineer may feel insecure and unsure of theapproach that should be taken.

Projections from DOE’sAnnual Energy Outlook indicate that primary energy use in the United States will climb to 134Quadrillion Btu in 2030 from 98 in 20002.

The project begins by attaching the test specimen(a composite structure made from small wooden blocks) to a pendulum platform of known massproperties. The platform is equipped with an accelerometer to allow dynamic motion tracking.Multiple swing tests are performed and the dynamic response of the loaded pendulum is recordedusing a National Instruments data acquisition system. Using an oscillator model and Fourieranalysis, the students calculate both the damping ratio and the damped natural frequency of theloaded platform. Armed with these results and the

The change of any property within the control volume wasshown as a result of three possible processes: direct transfer across a boundary, direct transfer inconjunction with “carrier” flows, and generation within the control volume itself. Thegeneralized Reynolds Transport Equation was then formulized from this scenario. The paperalso considered the property of entropy, which is conceptually more challenging. The approachwas found beneficial for students learning. Bailey17 discussed how to prolong and strengthenstudents' interest in thermodynamics by designing course projects.

howtwo heads are better than one. In fact, two people are necessary to operate a Capstone Designcourse. Directing the student teams, grading tests and papers, and preparing discussions in aCapstone Design course is a full course load. In addition to these usual responsibilities, theinstructor for a Capstone Design course is often required to visit industry and non-profitorganizations to find the projects for students to develop. It seems commonplace for academicinstitutions to expect this extra effort from Capstone Design teachers, but this is unrealistic.Capstone Design is a wonderful course to teach because of the mature, motivated students andthe exciting projects, but it shouldn’t be a time-consuming backbreaker for the instructor.Course
