In order to help ease the transition forengineering graduates and bridge the gap between companies industry and educationalinstitutions, it is necessary to introduce students and faculty to Model-Based Design.The MathWorks is leading Model-Based Design adoption at universities through an array ofstudent competitions that mirror some several core engineering industries: automotive, Page 12.536.4aerospace, communications, and biotechnology.

Manufacturinggraduates appear to be decreasing after a peak in the 2002-2003 academic year. There werethree programs reporting enrollment growth in both survey data sets. Since the 2007 data arebased on fewer reporting programs, it is possible that more programs are experiencingenrollment growth so a positive total enrollment trend could be beginning.

Even if faculty members master the new instructional method, they will notbe able to control all other variables that affect learning.Despite these problems, young engineering faculty should be strongly encouraged to examine theliterature on active learning. Some of the documented material on active learning is compelling,to say the least, and should stimulate young faculty to think about teaching and learning innontraditional ways, leading, in due course, to their adoption of an active learning strategy.V.

More importantly, the restructuring of theengineering curriculum allows student exposure to engineering research activities prior to thecompletion of a traditional math sequence. This provides students with an opportunity to get"hooked" on the excitement of research and discovery in engineering, regardless of whether theyhave successfully advanced through a traditional calculus sequence. It should also be noted thatthe engineering PIs all have active research programs, several of which are supported by NSF.As such, the graduate assistants supported are expected to complete masters or Ph.D. thesisresearch in the PIs' respective research areas.

presented in related courses [6]. These “canned” laboratory experiments are a strong complement to the course theoretical content. These types of labs have a very well-defined, deterministic outcome which reinforces basic inherent skills that the students need to master. Many professors are comfortable with this approach since the outcomes of the lab experiment are well defined and can be assessed and evaluated with very clear guidelines. Page 12.222.3However, this does not exploit the laboratory experience to its fullest. Students get the impressionthat the experimental environment is very similar to the classroom environment where

This suggests that motivation for outreach amongstmen engineers may be enhanced by focusing on outreach activities embedded in the curriculum,rather than voluntary extra-curricular occurrences, and that more explicit links between outreachand ABET outcomes may appeal particularly to men. These initial qualitative results will lead to a more targeted quantitative survey the nexttime the course is taught and outreach is performed. Specifically, we would like to probestudent’s enjoyment (valence), student’s confidence on the ABET competencies mentioned herebefore and after the outreach activity (expectancy), and ask students to rate and/or rank the goalsthat emerged as a result of this study, before
