Besidesbuilding cosmic ray detectors, we instituted a related activity in the studying of cosmic ray and/orsolar proton induced muon production. This activity concerns whether the muon flux fluctuationhas a relationship to solar eruption event effects. Mathematical skills at the pre-calculus level inthe high school curriculum was found to be sufficient to perform the necessary analyses.

The following statement is from ABET’s Engineeringprogram accreditation requirements: “Students must be prepared for engineering practicethrough a curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge andskills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards andmultiple realistic constraints.”1 What fits the bill better than having students work withinindustry, maybe even as paid interns, on an active company project? Nothing could be more realsince the project is real. Such projects automatically include real schedules, deadlines,constraints, codes

responsibility for their own learning. Educators call this traditional method, “instructor-centered teaching.” In contrast, “learner-centered teaching” occurs when instructors focus on thelearner and authentic problems rather than on the structured analysis of the curriculum content(Blumberg 2008, Gunderman et al. 2003). If teacher’s primary focus is covering the content,students respond by memorizing the material with limited understanding. If the students are theones doing hard and messy work, then the understanding is deeper (Weimer, 2013). Learninginvolves active construction of meaning by the learner, who construct meaning by combining whatthey currently know with the new information that they are acquiring. Meaningful learning can befacilitated by

., 2017). Lastly, consumers often believe that they want a product that is loadedwith features but later may be overwhelmed by the product’s complexity (Rust et al., 2006). Itbecomes clear that a sharper focus on stakeholders and features is a critical requirement forproduct success and an integrated approach is needed to help students navigate thesecomplexities. A systems engineering approach for undergraduate design education has been applied in firstyear to capstone design courses to help students with designing systems (Simoni, et al., 2016).The advantages of the approach are that one set of models or views is applicable to a widevariety of design problems making the common approach easier for students to learn and facultyto teach and assess

Thesepreservice teachers spend 2 to 3 days a week in a classroom and rotate between different gradelevels and classes. This removes them from familiarity with the overall curriculum, standards,and strategies.Aligning the lesson components to the standard is an important skill for all teachers to have, andit is evident that some of our preservice teachers struggled with this skill. The idea of forming anentire lesson around appropriate standards is something that takes time and practice. A full-timeteacher would likely follow the curriculum of given standards.
