into curricular education are expected to provide asignificant number of underrepresented minority students with training and mentoringfocused on the economic and intellectual powerhouse area of nanotechnology. Besidesthe obvious benefit of attracting the best undergraduates into graduate research, ourstudents will also be engaged in passing on the learning downstream through helpingwith summer camps for K-12 educators and school visitations to help attract theenrollment of high-quality students from across the nation. The teaching and outreachactivities will continue as in the past to impact graduate and undergraduates from all theengineering departments in the College of Engineering at NCAT. The undergraduate

Engineering website.8 This sequence of three one-creditcourses, spread throughout all masters degree programs, was designed to provide the studentwith an ongoing close look at herself/himself as a learner, a leader, and the person in charge ofher/his life-long plan. The series intended to answer the question, “How do I get the best possibleresults for my life goals from this graduate program?”With faculty and industry engagement, we identified specific learning outcomes for theleadership series, critical features for the process and expected outcomes for each of the courses.We used a set of critical design assumptions as our guide for development. These assumptionswere based on adult learning theory as well as motivational theory. Furthermore, we

equation in their projects is an importantpreparation for industrial careers.Program OutcomesAfter several revisions made in consultation with the program’s stakeholders, the Texas StateUniversity Manufacturing Engineering Program Outcomes (PO) were created. The PO as theyexisted prior to the initial ABET accreditation evaluation are:Each graduate is expected to have:1. An ability to apply the principles of math, science, and engineering to the solution of practical problems.2. An ability to plan and conduct experiments and interpret the results of the experiment.3. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.4. An ability to function effectively on a multi-disciplinary team.5. An understanding of professional and

The floor plan for the statewide expo is shown in Figure 4.Figure 4 - Statewide Expo Floor PlanAlthough the statewide expos were a tremendous success, the ability of over 50 manufacturingcompanies to provide in-kind support for future expos became a challenge. In addition, it wasgenerally agreed that statewide expos had served their initial purpose and new models wereneeded. Therefore, local expos were designed and developed to ensure local impact by focusingattention on the strength of individual community colleges and partner universities andsecondary schools while actively engaging faculty and their students, administrators, localindustry personnel, policy makers which include district legislators

The author has utilized this animatronics-based methodology at college andsecondary school levels for about a decade. The objective was to engage students in practical andmeaningful projects. The result is an active learning environment that is also creative. Themethodology was also employed for student recruitment and

students to experience different ways of design and operation. 9. Have recognition of the need for and ability to engage in life-long learning. The BAJA students will be engaged in the automotive field even they do not work in it. The overall experience has improved practical ability of some of the best theoretical students, also making them more interested in automotive engineering. This will encourage them to stay engaged in the area and continue to learn, especially with the help of being more practical and confident. 10. Have knowledge of contemporary issues. The BAJA team members receive two periodicals, one in Automotive and the other in Aerospace Engineering

graduates.From Others: ● Teaching should be project based; allowing students to create, design (draft), and manufacture a worthwhile idea into a practical finished project. Increasing the level of difficulty with each year of education ● emphasis on team-projects with effective individual accountability for contribution, co-op experiences that are coordinated with the student's current educational coursework. ● The most important and relevant skill that the industry needs but is completely absent in virtually every graduate is the ability to THINK! System thinking, complex problem solving, change management, robust engineering are highly recommended. ● Communication (incl. presentation, public
