Collaboration among teachers from different states was encouraged during the weekthat the teachers were together, and the end of the course saw several exciting plans forcooperative projects in the future. Follow-up activities included developing a CD and web-basedarchive of the course, and the teachers returning to the University of Massachusetts to present onthe projects they developed.

An ad-hoccommittee was formed which introduced the faculty of the respective colleges to each otherproviding a chance to develop a sense of trust. This led to a collaboration that produced the“Engineering for Educators” course.Several options were considered for how more engineering could get infused into
