Additionally, problems associated with greenhouse gas emissions,especially global warming, demand innovative technologies. One promising solution to thiscrisis is the use of vehicles with hybrid gasoline/electric powertrains. Most major automobilemanufacturers are now selling hybrids (most famously, the Toyota Prius) and hybrids make upnearly 3% of light-duty vehicle sales.Unfortunately, much of the benefit of this innovative technology is lost to US engineers, sincethe design and development of

This consensus by experts in engineeringeducation presents with unprecedented opportunities to improve student learning, but effectivepedagogy has entered the practice at a slow pace.

The 2007 seminalreport regarding STEM education and careers, “Rising Above the Gathering Storm”1, makesnumerous recommendations in long-term approaches to remedying this quandary. Primary tothese recommendations is the need to increase America’s talent pool by vastly improving PreK-12 STEM education.The Mary Lou Fulton Teachers

regardless of the specific topic of the design,the experience students may have is governed by the appropriateness of the project topic.A growing trend that we have noticed in our student population is a lack of “practical”knowledge of technology. In a University with a mix of rural/urban/suburban communities fromwhich the majority of new students are drawn, we now see engineering students who comewithout the childhood experience of having tinkered with technology. The loss of this tinkeringbackground seems to have the effect of delivering students to our first year classes who lackknowledge of how things work, or of the parts that make up complex systems.
