are lost on the students, but of somepolitical worth since the general public thinks they do understand such distinctions. More to thepoint, our teachers have to learn enough engineering science so that they start to see how Page 12.1354.3engineering has a significant impact on peoples lives, how it is driven by a strong knowledge ofmathematics and science, and how this knowledge base can easily strengthen all of the“traditional” lessons typically used by teachers in other elementary schools in our district.IntroductionWith this background in mind, how do you get elementary school teachers to teach their studentsengineering concepts

It is this integrative holistic nature of “technologyeducation” that the new standards aspire to promote which has the potential tosignificantly transform and improve K-12 STEM education and unleash the creativity ofyoung minds throughout the nation.

The students were asked: Name 2 objectives [your professor] mayhave had in mind by having you participate in the Tower-Building challenge. In other words,what were some of the embedded lessons in this activity? Among the responses that were alreadyseen in the survey, a particular concept emerged: “The effect of team size” was a recurringresponse as teams ranged from two to seven people in some cases.

For example, astudent might have participated in Odyssey of the Mind, a national, project-based competitionwhere students apply math and science to build various projects according to specific criteria.While such an activity is “engineering-like,” when it was not specifically mentored by anengineer, we did not consider it engineering exposure. Similarly if a student had extensiveexperience programming or building computers but was self-taught, without the benefit ofhaving received any formal, discipline-based computer science, we considered this lowengineering exposure.Grace entered Coleman with low exposure to engineering.

problematic for faculty whenthey try to think about if, how, and when to integrate computation into their courses. Suchquestions are probably somewhat different depending upon whether one teaches engineering orphysics. And yet, because in many institutions students from both fields meet in the introductoryphysics course, it is essential to address these questions regardless of which community onebelongs to. These questions are only a subset, albeit fairly representative, of important issues.However it is useful to keep such questions in mind when considering the results of a nationalsurvey of computational use in undergraduate physics courses, which form the base data for thispaper.

focuses on the soft skills ofthe graduating engineer, and one that strengthens technical ECE skills that are not easilyoutsourced and are in fact hard to find. The proposed changes are based on numerousreports and studies that have examined the issue of outsourcing. These proposed changesare already taking place at many US institutions. While it is not expected that the numberof ECE professional would go back to the peak levels of 1987, it is crucial that ECEcurricula respond to outsourcing by graduating creative engineers that aremultidisciplinary team leaders, knowledge generators, system level designers, and thatare globally aware, business minded, and strong in the fundamentals.References[1] http://www.itpaa.org/modules.php?name=News&file
