Well-designed professional development experiences are integral todeveloping such knowledge and skills 5. Project TESAL targets improved mathematics andscience content knowledge in an engineering design based approach 21. We strive to shiftstudents and teachers from being processors of information toward becoming creators ofmathematics and science models as tools to help solve societally relevant scientific challengesthrough design/development of appropriate technologies 22.The Project TESAL ModelOur model utilized iterative design/redesign to address “the engineering problem

disengagement from the instructorand course material. To increase student engagement and provide an enriched learningenvironment that combines practical experiences with theoretical knowledge, an alternativeapproach to a flipped classroom was explored. With a senior and graduate mix of 28 students,roles in the Flight Vehicle Performance (FVP) course were partially flipped, as students wereasked to take ownership of their learning through two main efforts. First, integration of theMerlin Flight Simulator early in the course built off of previous use to provide a practicalexposure to the course material, even before it was presented in class. Second, the students wererequired to prepare lectures that cumulatively covered around 25% of the core course

Engineering and Failure in Elementary Schools According to the Committee on K12 Engineering Education, with support from theNational Academy of Engineering and National Research Council, one principle of elementarythrough high school engineering education is that it should emphasize engineering design.3Inherent in engineering design is that students have opportunities to “learn from failure andredesign,” one of six characteristics of high-quality STEM integration identified by Moore andcolleagues.4 Further, engineering design knowledge is

ago.Engineering Analysis Curriculum, Advising Practices & OutcomesEngineering analysis (EA) is a four-course sequence that covers several engineering-relatedtopics. By design, engineering analysis was developed in the mid-1990s to create a single unifiedcurriculum taught by engineering professors during the freshmen year, and this shift towardsengineering courses to freshmen was largely successful. At the time, the preparation level ofincoming students in math and physics was relatively uniform, and the curriculum wassufficiently advanced that the playing field was relatively even.The first three quarters of the EA sequence are required for all engineering majors.

Engineering StudentsAbstract. While an introduction to Material Science and Engineering (MSE) course is part of thecore curriculum in many Engineering fields such as Mechanical and Chemical Engineering,many students often display a lack of interest in the subject matter, and struggle to see therelevance of the material to their Engineering field. To address this issue, the authors adopted aproject-based learning approach in two introductory material science classes. The goal is tostimulate interest in the subject matter by providing students with the opportunity to applyfundamental Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) principles learned in the classroom to amaterial of their choice and interest.

-quality massproduction system, optimizes for efficiency by standardizing processes. In undergraduateengineering degree programs, this is apparent from the relatively inflexible standard curricularpaths within any given major and the use of midterm and final exams as “go or no-go”measurement gauges to determine which “products” (students) are of sufficient quality to moveonto the next step (or class) in the assembly line of curricular requirements. An important aspectof this factory model is that colleges are systematically indifferent as to which students graduateand which go elsewhere since standardization of the process and objective assessments arepresumed to ensure fair treatment for all students.This paper integrates findings across student

The specific objectivesof the RET project component were to: • Provide an in-depth research experience to two STEM teachers and prepare them to translate their technical experience to their curriculum. • Increase the teachers’ awareness of the profound potential of students with ADHD in engineering and gain knowledge on more effective ways to teach to these students. • Broaden the impact of the REU project through dissemination of the teachers’ experiences.The teachers joined two different engineering research projects and worked directly with theREU students assigned to the respective projects. This allowed the teachers to observe thestudents’ unique learning styles and capabilities in a research environment. The
