Need for faster network data processing (for pictures, slides, etc.).ConclusionsThe first conclusion is that problems should be expected, especially in the beginning, for a first time experience forinstructors or students. Spend time practicing before hand if possible. Spend all or most of the first session with thestudents just getting used to the system and format. Good support personnel are essential.

Keywords—software engineering education; engineering pedadogy; project-basedlearning; teamwork;1.0 Introduction It is widely known and acknowledged that there are significant problems with attractingstudents to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines. As stated inthe recent report from the U.S. Department of Education1 : “A total of 48 percent of bachelor’sdegree students and 69 percent of associate’s degree students who entered STEM fieldsbetween 2003 and 2009 had left these fields by spring 2009. Roughly one-half of these leaversswitched their major to a non-STEM field, and the rest of them left STEM fields by exitingcollege

Problem-based Learning (PBL) isan inductive, active learning approach that connects learning to real world problems, andprovides a context in which students can tether their knowledge and internalize courseconcepts. Students are thus motivated to seek out a deeper understanding of the conceptsthey need to address the problems presented in a course.This research focuses on going beyond the technical lecture to enhance the student experiencethrough PBL and experiential education techniques, based on implementation in the RochesterInstitute of Technology’s (RIT) College of Engineering Technology, in courses
-second year retention at both SCC and WSU, as wellas articulation of STEM majors from SCC to WSU. While STEM attrition is a problemthroughout the 4-6 years of college study, the first-year experience (FYE) is most critical toretention of students in STEM disciplines. Thus, a focus on promoting success in the first yearwill help to ensure that students remain in STEM disciplines, as opposed to switching majors ordropping out. The primary barrier to success in Engineering/Technology is the mathematics“gateway” calculus sequence; the barrier to success in Science/Mathematics is generalinnumeracy and scientific illiteracy.

The crux of the CDIO Initiative is its Syllabus (see Appendix), astatement of undergraduate engineering education goals; and a set of 12 Standards designed tohelp achieve the goals (see Figure 1 below). The Standards address program philosophy(Standard 1), curriculum development (Standards 2, 3 and 4), design-build experiences andworkspaces (Standards 5 and 6), new methods of teaching and learning (Standards 7 and 8),faculty development (Standards 9 and 10), and assessment and evaluation (Standards 11 and 12).The Syllabus approximately corresponds to EC2000 Criterion 3 of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET), but is more comprehensive.

As scholars [10] have written, “Critical analyses and reflections on the design of scienceand technology are essential if societies are to meet their challenges in ways that create realimprovements rather than re-create inequalities.” Meaningfully addressing the GrandChallenges thus requires interdisciplinary collaboration, critical thinking about the potentialand the limitations of engineering design methods, and deep understanding of local socialcontext and larger economic and political systems.Lafayette College began its Grand Challenges Scholars Program

Consequently it is becoming more important for engineers, in all fields, to have atleast a passing knowledge of microprocessors and embedded systems. This is no more evidentthan in the curriculums at MSOE. Not only are embedded systems taught throughout thecomputer engineering curriculum (from assembly language in the sophomore year to their role innetworks in their senior year) but they also play a prominent role in the sophomore year of ourelectrical engineering and electrical engineering technology programs as well as service roles inthe mechanical engineering (junior) and mechanincal engineering technology (sophomore)programs.
