builds on the promising results from the Minor in Engineering Studies at IowaState University. Started in 2006, the Iowa State Minor in Engineering Studies hasattracted many non-engineering students participating in the program. Thus far, eightstudents have graduated with the minor degree; of these, three are working in technology-related companies. One graduate, a female non-engineering major, completed the Minorin Engineering Studies, reevaluated her career plans, and is now pursuing a graduatedegree in aerospace engineering.The approach and goalsWe are working on a collaborative approach to expand the Iowa State effort intechnological literacy among a diverse set of institutions.

Both students and faculty members havelearned valuable lessons working on these projects. Some characteristics are similar to those inother senior capstone design projects--for example, choosing topics that have the “right size.” Aone-semester capstone design course may not have sufficient time to produce meaningful resultsif the project is too broad or complex.Some characteristics are unique to

Our purpose in this study was to gobeyond student perceptions and examine the impact of problem-based learning on students’learning and conceptual understanding.MethodologyParticipantsFifty-five undergraduate students enrolled in an electrical engineering course at a large mid-western university participated in this study. Participants included forty-six males and ninefemales, primarily juniors (N=32), seniors (N=16), and a few sophomores (N=7).

ofthe students continue to use the alternative design. However, for those that do, the adherence tothe alternative design can be almost religious. For instance, in the Fall 2004 semester, one senior design team had a heated debate aboutwhether to use the alternative design (Robertshaw 2004c). The team consisted of four aerospacestudents who did not learn the design in their undergraduate curriculum and two mechanicalengineering students who did. For their senior design presentation that semester, both mechanicalengineering students wanted to use the design (even to the point of creating on their own anentire presentation that followed the design), but the four aerospace students insisted on thetraditional design with phrase headlines

Even more dramatic – almost 90% of these key personnel have 15 or more years of service so the replacement problem is not likely to ease in the future. The chief engineer sits at the top of this intellectual food chain and is thus the most endangered species. A member of the JACME2T Policy Board raised the brain drain issue at a board meeting. It was quickly apparent that all member companies faced similar technical leadership questions. The problem was most immediate for the aerospace companies but the cluster of electronics companies in the Consortium is heading the same way. An action came out of the meeting to look at what could be done to

The two-semester course is taught to a roughly equal number of studentsat the two universities by faculty in the two universities from several different engineeringdisciplines. For the first half of the first semester, the students were broken up into three groups, ordiscipline specific tracks, each taught by a different faculty member. Of the ten students in eachtrack, five were from CU and five from SU. Each track studied a specific subject, (thermalsystems, materials, and aerospace structures). Lectures and discussion sessions were givensynchronously at CU and SU using distance learning classroom. All lectures were given usingPowerPoint presentations. Generally
