This paper reports on the use of the World-Wide Web for preparation ofcourse materials, and on lessons learned to date in developing and offering the new type ofelectrical engineering service course.IntroductionOpportunities for fundamental changes in many professions have arisen due to new modes forinformation creation, storage, transmission, retrieval, management, and display. However,familiarity with the use of the technologies central to this revolution is often limited to a smallpopulation of individuals with a deep (and rather narrow) education in electrical

, and mathematics are critical skills for our modern world. Inorder to understand this world, it is vital to foster engineering and technological literacy amongall people, starting with young children. Technology and engineering are new fields at theelementary school level; however, this is where such education needs to start. Just as it isimportant to begin science instruction in the primary grades by building on children’s curiosityabout the natural world, it is crucial to begin technology and engineering instruction inelementary school by fostering children’s natural inclination to design and build things, and totake things apart to see how they work.1 It is during primary school that students establish firstimpressions of possible career

American students have not seen commensurate increases in engineering fields.Diversifying the undergraduate engineering population has important consequences for ournation’s ability to meet the increasing demands for a larger technological and scientific laborforce. While diversifying engineering in the aggregate is both timely and critical, it is equallyimportant to consider the level of diversity within each engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical,Civil, Electrical, Chemical). When engineering disciplines are disaggregated, it is clear that somedisciplines are less diverse than others. Focusing on diversity at the discipline level has importantimplications for the design of effective department level programs and curricular interventions
