A new text book has been adopted to reflect the changes in the course description by removing the management aspects in manufacturing such as forecasting, inventory control, aggregate planning, sequencing and scheduling, and project management, and by adding welding and joining processes, introduction to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, metrology and testing, and process automation. • In the year 2002, the integrated laboratory assignments have been enhanced by acquiring a coordinate measuring machine (Brown & Sharp) and incorporating a design, fabrication, and

By the Fall of 1996, we had begun to write another proposal to NSF’sInstrumentation and Laboratory Improvement program.The proposal, entitled “Louder Than Words”, sought funding for seven more workstations toreform five courses.

Latent Semantic Analysis andLatent Dirichlet Allocation are two text mining techniques commonly used for topic extractionover large volumes (corpora) of text documents producing a summary of topics that describe theentire corpus of documents. These topics were then analyzed to determine how the overallengineering education evolved over a period spanning approximately three decades. The resultsindicate the overall engineering education has evolved from teaching basic engineering anddesign skills, computers, systems and processes; to creative teaching

Approximately 1/3 of URM students intend to major inscience and engineering as college freshmen20; however, of that group only 37% graduate in aSTEM field. Of the more than 60,000 B.S. degrees earned in biological sciences in 2004, fewerthan 15% went to URM students (Table 3). In comparison, the retention rate for majoritystudents in STEM is 68.3%. African American and Hispanic students are also more likely todrop out of college altogether because of finances, poor precollege preparation, low facultyexpectations, poor teaching, and inflexible curricula21

PBL is built around student-centered instruction, and its hallmark is a concrete end-product that has been designed throughiterative refinement. Inclusion of four, progressively more challenging design projects into thesophomore and junior year courses provides students opportunity to practice iterative refinementprior to a capstone experience. Further, the literature supports that constructivist principlesground PBL experiences in context-specific learning, active engagement, and sharing ofknowledge [8]-[10], all of which we feel are necessary for successful engineering project work.When designed well, PBL
