This course was specifically positioned to exercise core-engineering competencies: understanding of societal needs and use of scientific andmathematical principles, technologies and fabrication, and communication principles. It alsoexercises algorithms to solve engineering problems and to develop creativity.The course incorporates numerous active learning strategies. These include projects, laboratories,lecture-based exercises, individual and team exercises with persistent feedback from both atechnical and technical communications instructor.

Hands-on projects aremotivating and help sustain students’ interest in technology and the curriculum to prevent themfrom switching to other majors2. The need to encourage the study of engineering is becomingmore important as globalization and information sharing helps other countries compete with theU.S, and many traditional engineering activities are outsourced.In the course of study students are given work orders, as if they were an employee of a company.Their manufacturing facility, the laboratory, is equipped with various industrial tools includinglathes, milling machines, testers, and other machine equipment.

If it isn’t, we have to ask “why isn’t somebody doing something about it?”It may be that these students, bombarded by a world of technology, may need directed help instaying focused. We might also work at sharing with them more on how to learn and how tostudy. They often enter higher education with unrealistic expectations about what it takes to be asuccessful college student and while there are efforts underway at many universities, individualinstructors, may need to spend more time on teaching thinking skills. The classroom is apowerful forum for modeling how to be and think like an engineer and we will need to makeconcerted efforts to show our students what they can and should do
