the type of students entering our College of Engineering and Science; particularly, students appeared to have less self-reliance and low exposure to working with their hands. 3. The National Academy’s reports; “The Engineer of 20209” was of particular interest. 4. A desire to incorporate more hands-on activity while simultaneously increasing the rigor 5. Student retention data that indicated our previous curriculum was not properly preparing our freshman for their future engineering courses 6. Evidence that indicates robotics curricula tend to attract students10With these and other factors in our mind we began piloting various modifications to our existingIntegrated Engineering Curriculum.

when the U.S. is looking to inspire young minds, Rube Goldberg’s legacy representsthe best in American innovation, humor and unconventional thinking6. Engineering programs in Page 15.787.3the U.S. universities are using Rube Goldberg for two purposes: to expose younger students toengineering and to encourage engineering students to think outside the box. Rube Goldberg is agreat way to teach basic principles of science like magnetism, gravity, and friction. In addition,Rube Goldberg projects also promote patience and discipline, and assist in maintaining students’interest in science, mathematics and engineering.At Texas Tech University, Rube

The discussed multipurposelaboratory was developed with the benefits of active learning and scaffolding in mind. Page 15.593.2A number of educators in CIS, CS, Computer Engineering Technology (CET), and ComputerEngineering (CE) developed computer laboratory environments for their courses, often underbudgetary constraints. Usually, these environments serve one course8, 9. This work describes acomplex computer environment serving most of the technical courses in a CIS program.Lab Environment and the

This wide range of research provides multipleopportunities for overlap with the middle school curriculum, including forensics, chemicalreactions, materials science, magnetism, and earthquakes, as shown in Figure 1,the 2009schedule.When considering the topics to be taught in the NIST Summer Institute, the focus and purpose ofNIST is also kept in mind. NIST, as the premier U.S. measurement science, or metrology,research laboratory has much to teach regarding the role of measurement science and itsimportance. The NIST
