This initiative is in-line with the development of a new Aerospace engineering program at Southern PolytechnicState University. The research skills obtained by undergraduate students in their early educationcareers are an important learning experience. Special emphasis is put on design, practice,integration, and application of the scientific and technical knowledge learned from the classroomthrough various activities. The topic chosen for research is rather simple yet important tounderstand. It has real world applications. It provides analytical and experimental knowledge andskills to the students involved

Institute of Technology developedinstitutional teaming objectives. Because of the many opportunities available for students to workon teams, it was assumed that all students would be able to demonstrate their teaming skills easily. This was not the case. Students were not able to provide evidence that they could workeffectively in teams. This paper discusses the desired teaming skills and the course activities thatwere instituted to improve students’ teaming skills.Students who complete Machine Design are expected to demonstrate an ability to work effectively Page 6.930.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education

organizationalflexibility and a flattening of the organizational structure. The cornerstones, research and teaching, of the faculty culture are dominated byindividuals, not teams. The nature of higher education is to place emphasis on theaccomplishments of the isolated individual rather than on team efforts. The emergence of teamsin the academy will cause an increase in the administrative responsibility of faculty, aredistribution in the power and authority of faculty members and a reprioritization of work loadand philosophy about teams. Engineering faculty members are often uncomfortable with the collaborative nature ofteamwork. Indeed, the personality traits that characterize some engineering faculty interfereswith their ability to be effective
experiment, and then building complexity to the point where students weregenerating independent results, the topic of digital circuit design was effectively presented.ConclusionsThe goal of this engineering summer camp for middle school students was to interest and inspireparticipants to consider engineering careers. Digital circuit design, requiring no prerequisites orcomplicated math, is an excellent vehicle to accomplish that mission. By involving the studentsin hands-on activities that paralleled topics presented, students started to develop anunderstanding of the underlying principles behind digital circuits. Students left campempowered to face today’s world of technology with confidence rather than with intimidation.References1. Carroll, C. R
