developed to date. However, time andphysical space have shown to be a challenge to implementation. Initially, it was envisioned thateach ENGR 1110 section would eventually teach two Grand Challenges a semester. In order toretain other important class features such as the design project, one grand challenge per semesteris more realistic. Now that initial module development and testing has been performed by the PIsand evaluator, the goal is to engage more faculty in implementation and evaluation. This willfacilitate institutionalization and provide more information on the effect of the modules onnanotechnology knowledge, perceptions of engineering as an altruistic profession, and intent topersist in major. The existing modules will be incorporated

Since the other top indicators of value explored in the literature, job outlook orsalary projections for engineers, are not mentioned in studies investigating why students leaveengineering, interest is a logical measure of value to use when looking at engineering students’decisions to leave or to continue to study engineering. In fact, the justification for

Using the white board, the 2-d diagrams are drawn, and terms such as isobar, isotherm,and vapor dome are introduced. Time is spent on phase change and the how the areas from the3-d surface correspond to the 2-d diagrams. It is important to point out that one key componentof correctly identifying values for the properties of the substance is to first be able to identify thephase, or fix the state, of the substance. For these types of substances there are 5 distinct phasesthat are identified: compressed (or subcooled) liquid, saturated liquid, saturated mixture,saturated vapor, and superheated vapor. The saturated mixture phase is where both saturated

Service Learning Experiences are distinguished by being mutually beneficial for bothstudent and community. Service learning is growing rapidly and is considered a part ofexperiential education by its very nature of learning, performing a job within the community,and serious reflection by the student. Service learning involves solving some of society'sissues; such as, homelessness, poverty, lack of quality education, pollution, etc. One of thegoals of service learning is to help students become aware of these issues

critical need for qualified engineering graduates to join the workforce. The mostrecent U.S. Bureau of Labor projections through 2020 show significant growth of jobs in thescience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Marra1 et al states thatengineering and science fields will grow at more than 3 times the rate of other disciplines.However, in the midst of the demand, institutions of higher education are faced with thechallenge of retaining students within their engineering programs1-5. Student attrition has beenattributed to several factors including: student attitudes and a sense of belonging in discipline,preparation for the course material, and quality of teaching and compatibility with studentlearning styles1,6-10.
