The objective of the K-12 outreach project is to interest more childrenin the field of engineering while strengthening the engineering and communication skill sets ofthe undergraduates.There is strong evidence that outreach to the K-12 sector is a vital part of maintaining andimproving the numbers of current and potential students who study engineering at the universitylevel.4 Many children are naturally interested in the

teaching assistants assignedto a Numerical Methods course that the first author teaches. The common practice is theassignment of a 10hr/week TA in the spring semester and none in the summer semester. Withanywhere from 40-70 students taking the class, the first author had to critically think about thebest use of the assigned TA. Should the TA spend time to maintain generous office hours, gradecomputer projects, assist in programming and experimental laboratories, or grade homeworkassignments? The question we are trying to answer in this paper is whether grading thehomework problems improve the student performance. We are not questioning the importanceof assigning the homework problems but if they help the students if picked for a grade.Cartledge3

students have not had sufficient grounding in the “design” process. Emphasis for themhas been placed upon “analysis”, and they come to our Systems Engineering courses lacking inunderstanding as to how to truly design a system. We accept it as a responsibility that this is acore notion and skill, and that no student shall graduate at the Master’s level without anappropriate level of mastery in this arena. Further, the two-step process of architecting followedby detailed subsystem design is often not well understood, even after an undergraduate course ortwo that emphasizes design, including a design “laboratory”. For those that have the appropriatebackground, an attempt is made to enhance the design process through a formal use of ways of“thinking

Examples would include a “stuck”accelerator, defective cruise control, failure of the traction control, and loss of regenerativebraking, to name only a few. Students learn to employ Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis(DFMEA) techniques to identify potential problems affecting personal and vehicle safety as wellas reliability. Methods are implemented to remove or mitigate such failures. The effectivenessof their DFMEA is first demonstrated in the laboratory using the HIL and later on a chassisdynamometer before finally being driven on the road.Vehicle CompetitionWhile

Trainingrecommendations resulted in the addition of a formalized pre-semester and post-semesterworkshop with all peer leaders meeting together, rather than in discipline-specific trainings.
