Theapproach was applied to a fourth grade class of twenty students in Brighton, Michigan and wasjudged a success by faculty and students.Introduction“I never knew engineering could be so fun.

Some of these subsystems require knowledge of subjects that our students (AE) are onlyintroduced to, such as power and communications.Because our aerospace engineering (AE) students have just a cursory knowledge of some of thesesubsystems, we have opened our design class to electrical engineering (EE) and computerengineering (CE) students and have had great success with interdisciplinary teams sharing theirexpertise.

program criteria for SE in comparison to other moretraditional programs there are some clear differences. Most of the program criteria specificallyrequire or strongly imply the need for course work in continuous mathematics, throughdifferential equations. They also refer to specific natural sciences (physics, chemistry or biology)and closely related domain knowledge (“aerospace materials”, “electronic devices”, “solid andfluid components”, etc.). On the other hand the SE program criteria make no reference tocontinuous mathematics or to natural science, but specify knowledge about discrete mathematics.Most significantly one notices the SE program criteria do not have specific reference to a domainof application.

This recommendation from the Boyer Commission isalso consistent with recent emphasis from the National Science Foundation in the broad areas thatencompass information technology research and education.In particular, we address advances in science and engineering by introducing students to the fieldof computational engineering, a subset of information technology.
