vacant each year. Attrition inengineering industry is a persistent problem, threatening national goals related to technologicaladvancement and global competitiveness. As a result, educational institutions are asked toconsider practices that ensure both academic success in college, as well as post-graduationoutcomes in the workforce. Using survey data from a National Science Foundation funded study,titled Project to Production: Conditions and Processes for Educating the Engineer of 2020 (P2P),this study investigated the relationships between several high impact curricular and co-curriculareducational practices, such as undergraduate research and co-curricular design projects, and post-graduation retention in engineering.

The class meets once per week for three hours, withlecture the first hour, and lab the second two hours. Students are introduced to design via theinvention, fabrication and testing of a device that solves a problem proposed by a real client.These projects cover a variety of engineering disciplines including bioinstrumentation,biomechanics, mechanical, and civil and environmental.

Progress)Abstract The goal of this project is to address and contribute to the ever-growing demand todevelop innovative and interactive education modules, catered towards K-12 students, which willencourage them to pursue a career path in computer engineering, a STEM field area, upongraduating from high school. Even though kids are experienced in using consumer electronicgadgets, they rarely understand the basics of how these devices were built. Exposing them to thefoundations of computer hardware, may encourage them to think about how basic computeroperations are performed. In addition to developing multiple tools, to teach kids about theworking of logic gates, decimal-to-binary conversion, and representing positive and negativenumbers, in

Survey results showed that neither ME nor ECE students had a prior exposure to theother discipline. After completing the course, ME students perceived that they knew more aboutchild development, play, and the design of children’s toys, and ECE students reported they betterunderstood the types of engineering disciplines. Interesting, ECE students less positively ratedtheir ME counterparts post versus pre-course in the following areas
