Program in the Engineering Education Innovation Center has anumber of physical simulation laboratories that have been designed to provide first yearengineering students with a hands-on experience with a variety of engineering principles andmethods. One such lab was casually called the ‘Camera Lab’ as it involved the assembly of adisposable Kodak Camera.The learning constructs in this lab primarily revolved around push versus pull type productionand inventory management systems with a single product variant. In short the learningconstructs were somewhat narrow and limited albeit useful. The leadership of the First-yearEngineering Program desired to update and expand this lab.An Integrated Systems Engineering faculty member intimately knowledgeable

program, all students participate in aworkshop on Puerto Rican cultural scripts. This workshop is addressed to immerse the USstudents in the Puerto Rican culture. In addition; the students participate in a variety of culturaland scientific excursions including international exhibits at the Ponce Art Museum, guided toursof El Yunque National Rainforest; and trips to Old San Juan, the National Astronomy andIonosphere Center Arecibo Observatory, and the research laboratories from the UPRM MarineSciences Department at Isla Magueyes. To complement the experience, the students are alsoexposed to a variety of industrial settings, such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, Stryker Corporation,Amgen, Ethicon, among others. During these plant tours, the company’s

typically at an individual level, whether throughhome assignments or class exercises.As noted by Williams12 (2009), following Dewey’s Laboratory School, classrooms can berestructured to accommodate non-individual learning as well, to mirror practices of theworkplace. Assignments can be made collaborative so that students are working together andlearning from one another. For example, time could be set aside in Engineering Economicsclasses every week for collaborative problem-solving exercises.IACBE4 (2011) accreditation requirements include teamwork and engineering economicscourses can help students progress toward meeting outcomes in this area. ABET’s Criterion 3also encourages teamwork (3Ad, 3Bc) in engineering technology programs (ABET5, 2011
