An emphasis has been placed on developing evaluation criteriathrough learning outcomes that meet the needs of the cooperative education programs and theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) or the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB).Research on cooperative education and engineering students has shown a positive impact onearnings and grade point averages at the cost of extended

A summary of those issues is: ≠ Program overloaded with technical content (as technology changed, material was simply added to the program, with very little being removed) ≠ Students were overloaded with excessive class contact hours (29 hours per week in first year) ≠ High student attrition rates (up to

This approach leverages a vital, yet untapped resource, engineers, to address thescience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) achievement gap. Engineers become longterm volunteers, developing relationships with the children, and bringing valuable social capitalinto high-need areas.Through our partnership with the University of Southern California (USC), engineeringundergraduates enroll in “Engineers as Teachers” and receive 3 units of technical elective creditfor participating in our training program.
