lessons are helping to shape plans for future development and assessment arediscussed.The National Landscape of High School EngineeringUntil just a few years ago, there were very few high schools that had any sort of engineeringcurriculum other than a small selection of graphics courses such as drafting and computer aideddrafting. As of late, there has been a push to get more engineering content into high schoolcurriculums. Today several state education standards address engineering to some degree, butthere is considerable variation among those state standards, and the national effort to introducesuch standards is still in its infancy. Indeed, the National Academy of Engineering is currentlyconducting a study (due out in March 2010) on K-12

Cohort travel models are not unique in undergraduate circles;however, for our group of participants, the model serves as a pathway to broaden theparticipation of STEM-trained women and minorities in international engagement. The modelincludes immersing the cohort into a culture through participation in an internationalconference, presentations at a host university to develop collaborations with faculty andstudents, scientific excursions, discussion sessions addressing research questions, and plans forbuilding on the short-term experience.

Theywill work on one product, separating the engineering challenge into modules of various tasks indesign, manufacturing, facilities planning and business functions, each task managed by a sub-team. A case study will be presented. As a result, students not only synthesize what they havelearned but also apply what they have gained: teamwork experience, collaborative finesse,ability to comprehend the global picture of engineering, the urgency to be innovative, and thedrive to become effective leaders.

In signing this“sustainability covenant,” Rowan University has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gasemissions to 3.5% below 1990 levels by 2005. We have used this agreement as the basisfor a novel collaboration between the New Jersey Higher Education Partnership forSustainability (NJHEPS) and the College of Engineering at Rowan University.We have developed a course project in which sophomore students from all engineeringdisciplines calculate CO2 emissions for the university and propose methods for furtherreducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

The program’s goal is to increase thenumber of students interested in and capable of studying STEM fields in college. To organize, guide,and focus department outreach efforts, the department developed and implemented a plan to createSTEM pipelines in the Jefferson County Public Schools. The pipelines are currently comprised ofselected elementary and middle schools that send students to the engineering magnet high schools.
