In the first year of the programthere were ten undergraduate participants paired with nine graduate mentors, as one mentor hadtwo mentees while the rest were one-on-one relationships. The projects spanned fourdepartments within the engineering college including mechanical, chemical, computer science,and aerospace. In advance of their participation, each program participant was
the material appealed primarily to students interested in aerospace, defense, computerand electronic technologies. The course contained no applications of chemistry, biology ormedicine, and so, provided little stimulation of the broader interests of many of the students.Review of Work to DateIn Spring 2010, the State Board of Regents awarded the College of Engineering a Learner-Centered Education Course Redesign Innovation (LCE CRI) grant to enhance the first yearengineering experience. Team 102 established the following specific objectives for the project: 1. Create Learning Materials and Strategies: Create innovative learner-centered materials and strategies that capture students’ interests while encouraging higher-level thinking

students were engineering majors with13 (34.21%) chemical engineers, 9 (23.68%) mechanical and aerospace engineers, 8 (21.05%)industrial engineers, 7 (18.42%) materials science engineers, and 1 (2.63%) bioengineer. Therewere 9 (23.68%) females and 29 (76.32%) males.Teaching Methods and InterventionsThroughout instruction on atomic bonding topics, students were asked to frequently express theirmental models in multiple modes. This frequent expression allowed for consistent revealing ofstudent thoughts and understandings about the content. Student expressions and explanations ofthinking took place in different ways, or representations, including written, verbal,diagrammatical, mathematical, graphical and, kinesthetic. Student written expressions
following day, each student launched his or her very own rocket. We also took measurements in the process. Teams of four students helped record each rocket’s descent time, angle of depression, and horizontal flight distance. Follow-up activities included a report covering design characteristics in relation to flight success, and calculations of the maximum height of the rockets using the measurements taken during the launches. I had a short talk prepared to help relate the focus back to the real lives of the students, since that was one of the main initiatives of the grant. I wanted to talk about aerospace engineers and how they study and perfect things as common as golf balls and as vital as defense
question: How do students with cooperative education or internshipexperience differ in their perception and understanding of their engineering problem-solvingskills as compared to students with no experience?Methodology Purposeful samplingxii was utilized to locate potential interviewees within each group atthe research site. The targeted goal was to interview electrical engineering seniors from each ofthe three groups: internship only, completed three cooperative education rotations, neitherinternship nor co-op experience. To control for academic ability, students with a cumulativegrade point average (GPA) equal or greater than 3.00 were identified for the study. Engineeringis a broad field of study with many subdisciplines (aerospace
contend that humor may have been partly responsible for one of the greatest historicalexamples of technical innovation in the history of the U.S., the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works.This aerospace engineering think tank produced some of the most innovative aviation designs inhistory in very short periods of time. It took its name from the tendency of its members to answerthe phone “Hello, Skonk Works,” (from the backwoods still in the L’il Abner Cartoon) inrecognition of the smell from the nearby vinyl plant.34 Later, because of the copyright issue withthe cartoon, it was changed to Skunk Works. The founder of the Skunk Works, Clarence“Kelly” Johnson, eliminated all unnecessary paperwork. This fact coupled with working on highpressure top secret

Norequest for matching support has been denied for lack of funds.In the summer of 2003, the GDP provided matching support for 16 female engineering studentswho were participating in undergraduate student research. Ten of the participants were studentsat Texas A&M University while the other six students were from Purdue, Xavier, University ofMaryland, Smith College and TAMU-Kingsville. All of the participants were U.S. citizens andcame from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Their areas of interest included aerospace, Page 9.297.9biomedical

It is worthnoting that, despite a heavy focus on Civil Engineering due to the Caltrans' SEI curriculum usedin 2009, the only change in student intended major is one student changing from CivilEngineering to a non-engineering major.Table 3-A.

For example, she started STEP thinking she wouldmajor in aerospace engineering; after getting more information on her options, she beganthinking industrial & systems engineering would be a better fit. She also got information on howmany hours to study for each credit hour, “different studying techniques as far as reading thebook and taking your own notes,” and preparing for the career fair.Daisy’s academic motivation was also impacted by STEP. With regards to usefulness andinterest, she anticipated engineering being “enjoyable and valuable” and did not believe
