earlierstage in the program. Students will be required to address the various technical challenges asthey progress towards more advanced classes. This process will provide an opportunity toevaluate students’ level of knowledge in a planned and incremental procedure, culminating in amore accurate assessment of their learning outcomes.We will continue to use the existing program capstone course EGT417 (Senior Project inEngineering Technology), as the class where the students will conclude and present their seniorprojects as the culminating effort towards graduation. This course is described in the NKUUndergraduate Catalog as the “Preparation and proposal for the capstone project design in anarea of student's primary program major. After the preparation

materials developed for this program.Teachers/Instructors Recruitment and SelectionThe program targets teachers/instructors who 1) are teaching math, science, or career andtechnology education (CATE) and/or involved in robotics-related activities such as BoostingEngineering, Science and Technology (BEST) competitions. Instructors from institutions withhigh percentages of minority and socio-economically disadvantaged students were encouraged toapply. A flyer was designed and direct emailed to over 800 STEM teachers and administrators atschool districts and two-year colleges in Texas. In addition, information about the program wasdistributed via ASEE’s Engineering Technology Division’s listserv (ETD-L) and at the annualHigh Impact Technology Exchange

The research presented in this paper is a first step toward doing just thatby creating a review of the existing state of university maker spaces found through universitywebsite searches. This list will take into account a number of different characteristics, bothunique and common, across university maker spaces in order to create a baseline that can be usedto discover and capitalize on practices being implemented with

The BIG group meets on a regular basis to discuss best practices within theindustry. While all of the companies within the BIG group provided information regarding theirviews on educational support, only half of the companies financially support education of theiremployees.

The instructional set upinvolved using of Solid Works® software by high school students to develop computer aideddesign models which were then visualized and printed using 3D Printers. Design of Experiments(DOE) based statistical techniques were then used to identify the best-built conditions for theparts developed by the students. The approach for creating an effective learning environment forhigh school students in a university setting along with the course structure used and projectfindings are presented in this paper.

IntroductionThe available funding for manufacturing research and national strategic directions have inspiredresearchers and produced a surge in manufacturing education and research among educationalinstitutes including high schools, community colleges, vocational training centers, anduniversities. Although there are more students interested in manufacturing, some institutes haveto balance between the steep increment of student enrollment and available resources. Aproportional increasing of resource to the student population growth would solve the problem ifthere is unlimited resource; however, when resource is limited then creative ideas are sought tomodify the current teaching practice for

Therefore, the sooner thislearning process for future success begins, the greater would be the benefits for both the studentsand their employers. Recognizing this need many universities in the United States offer studyabroad programs, both at graduate and undergraduate levels. Shuman et al. (2005) argue thatmanufacturing and global supply chain can best be studied “if classroom work is combined withtruly multidisciplinary team projects and well-designed field visits” in other countries.Furthermore, one of the ABET accreditation criteria (also known as ‘outcomes h’) requiresengineering programs to provide students with a broad understanding of

: “This Is Rocket Science”There is strong evidence in the literature [cf., 5, 6] that retention to graduation in highereducation is improved by interventions and engagement in the first year. Such first-yearinterventions might take the form of a “low-stakes” course that includes close interactionbetween faculty and students, and/or connecting to student clubs and university research labs.The “This Is Rocket Science” first-year seminar (FYS) is designed to provide just suchopportunities for engagement. Two faculty members, each with experience in space engineeringand research, lead the class and work with the students during the semester. The teachingobjectives for the class include: 1.

rankings for the last 10 years, WSU’s writing inthe disciplines program functions as a national leader for prioritizing writing across courses, andfor emphasizing a rhetorical approach to writing support wherein students are asked to produce avariety of genres for different audiences and disciplines. The writing program at WSU is representative of the kinds institutional writing programsthat have developed in response to the Writing in the Disciplines (WID) movement. The WIDmovement, too, has contributed to pedagogical research on lab report writing. The research inengineering education mostly addresses pedagogical strategies and best practices for promotingwriting to learn principles. Often, these studies tend to focus on the efficacies of

across a broad swath of American manufacturing industriesincluding the machine tool and auto industries. Many of those that remained are reaching the ageof retirement and will take valuable expertise with them when they leave their companies. Forthis reason the education of new engineers remains a critical need for many states across the US.As important as this need is, budgetary constraints occurring simultaneously with the economicdownturn, have resulted in challenges to four-year schools graduating engineers in sufficientnumbers. In particular manufacturing engineers, whose expertise is best matched to theproduction of goods, only graduate from fewer than 20 programs here in the United States.Part of the need for manufacturing engineers is

Page 26.655.8In order to assess the utility or immediate impact of each workshop, five content-based or“knowledge-based” tests of simple recall and understanding were developed for each workshoppresentation addressing major concepts delivered by the workshop’s presenters. A pre-test and apost-test research design were implemented to assess the amount of information acquired by theworkshops’ participants. Evaluators are keenly aware of the potential for inflated gain scoresdue to practice effects by participants but the results are still valuable to ascertain students’ability to maintain their attention on what is
