The hope is that the Learning Community cohorts mayhelp reduce the drop-out rate from key science, technology, engineering, and math courses.Currently available data: bachelor’s-granting institutionsThe task of identifying students on the engineering pathway is more easily done at institutionsthat grant bachelor’s degrees, where students may be identified as engineering students throughtheir applications and acceptances into an engineering program. Measured outcomes at four-yearschools include persistence along the pathway for their major and being granted a bachelor’sdegree in engineering [6]. Because a single institution both offers courses along the

Description of the Mechanical Engineering Technology ProgramThe four year program attempts to orient graduates towards problem solving ability usingclassical theoretical methods coupled with computer analysis packages aimed at practicalapplication. These traits have been shown to be in high demand by industry.1 The first yearemphasizes basic mathematical, communication and experimental skills. A strong foundation ofstrength of materials is then established, leading to advance capabilities in the machine designsequence. Also, in the upper division the various specialties of mechanical engineering areinvestigated, leading up to the senior design project. A listing of the

Identifying a Problem in Engineering EducationMuch like any research endeavor we thought of this initially as a research problem, i.e., given thatInternet was evolving and would affect education, what are the key engineering education problems thatwould surface and requite innovative solutions. We wanted to do something different, something thatwas not available, and something that would ultimately be useful to the education community. At thattime we identified that technologies for creating and disseminating web courses were essentially availablebut how to deliver online

Thefinancial sector functions on trust and credibility since the products are not solid objects and notdemonstratable like video games. Most offerings are futuristic but play a substantial role in anyeconomy. Once honesty is removed, their futuristic products cannot be trusted, and the businessfails. In most cases, the executives face legal issues due to the breach of ethics, laws, andregulations. While engineering graduates may not work directly in finances, they may becomepart of information technology teams and software developers as employees of suchcorporations. Students may not be directly involved in unethical practices or be aware of them,but they still

program into academia and industry.2. A Need for ChangeScience is generally based on experimental methods that allow the formulation of generaltheoretical constructs. Applied sciences focus scientific theory to purposeful activity.Technology and engineering, on the other hand, put applied science to work efficiently in aprocess context. While science seeks basic understanding, technology and engineering areprimarily goal-oriented activities in response to societal needs [4,5].Technical and engineering knowledge can take three forms. Descriptive knowledge describesthings as they are, usually rules, general concepts, and principles in a narrative manner.Prescriptive knowledge is the technical know-how gained from repeated application ofdescriptive

Intracourses can be used to address severaldifficult curriculum design challenges. Rapid technological advances routinely create demandsfor new technical competencies within fixed engineering curriculum boundaries. Current trendstoward increasing general education requirements reduce available time and other resources forspecialized engineering courses. Intracourses allow for novel new curriculum design solutions insuch constrained environments. Each intracourse also provides engineering students with directexperience in exploring the boundary between two
