, it includes civil, aerospace, biomedical, and industrialengineers. This course is known for its appreciable difficulty level and represents one of thelowest passing rates for all of the mechanical engineering courses. One of the motivations behindusing the MEA model is to improve understanding and passing rates for the course.The goal of the Accident Reconstruction MEA and similar projects is to introduce students toproblems with an engineering context. Professors have found that although a student may be ableto demonstrate proficiency in solving traditional homework problems and calculations, Proceedings of the 2011 PSW American Society for Engineering Education Zone IV Conference  Copyright © 2011, American Society

degree.Evaluation of the standards, implemented by means of student activities, proves that they areeffective.IntroductionSan Diego has an extensive technical and scientific base of aerospace, biotechnology,communications, and computer-related companies, as well as research institutes, universities, andmedical centers. San Diego also has a diverse ethnic and economic population. Currently there areindividual programs in San Diego, derived from the nationally-recognized Mathematics, Engineering,Science Achievement (MESA) Program, that assist underrepresented students to earn degrees inScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The MESA mission is to enableeducationally disadvantaged students to prepare for and graduate from a four-year
