PCM’s framework helps the course designer see the relationship of standard traditional methods of assessment (e.g., plug and chug problems, laboratory experiments, projects and presentations) in creating an engineering professional’s knowledge set. It provides a framework to balance the knowledge and skills since neither a “book smart” student nor the student who randomly tinkers makes the best engineer. ● Freedom to be flexible in selecting course components to meet objectives: The ideal method of teaching content depends on a number of changing factors such as student ability and background, instructor expertise, and resources available. Ideally, a course designer can select freely from the wide range of

by Making it FunAbstractThis paper describes a workshop, led by female Engineering Technology students with supportfrom female faculty members, that introduces engineering concepts to 4th -7th grade girls througha series of interactive laboratory experiments. The day-long workshops are offered to area GirlScouts and are intended to increase the girls’ interest in engineering. In support of this goal,hands-on experiments are carefully designed to: 1) show the girls that science can be both funand creative 2) connect science and engineering to things in everyday life that they already knowand care about 3) demonstrate that women can make a positive impact on the world with a careerin engineering.The workshops take place on the college campus

In our first year of the camp, we devised a lesson onrace and hair to help students think about the ways their ancestry and cultural conditioninginfluenced their hair texture and hairstyle choices. We knew the girls would be using an AFMmicroscope as part of the hands-on learning at the camp, thus combining a conversation aboutrace and ancestry with the ability to observe differences in hair under the microscope would helpstudents connect social issues with laboratory methods. As the GAMES girls tend to be abouttwo thirds white, we also thought introducing small group and intergroup interaction would be animportant way to engage on this topic12.We began the lesson, led by Dr. Kathryn Clancy, with a discussion question: What do
