know?’ Even though we have accreditation and we have … some discussions about what constitutes a good engineer, 12 it’s very skill-focused. And we haven’t really asked some of the questions that we should be asking. What do engineers need to know now? What do we need to know in order to plan the future? And to recognize that the choices that we are making have an impact on what kinds of technology are going to be available in twenty years.These are radical ideas in engineering education. While it is not typical to challenge the canon,perhaps by injecting new ways of thinking about modes of teaching/learning, creative responseswill arise to meet contemporary

. This paper looks at the over all ASU NACME program: its successes,areas in which improvement is desired, and the best practices that have developed during thethree years. The purpose of the NACME program is to graduate underrepresented students andto encourage them to go on to graduate school. The paper includes the summary of the semesterevaluations submitted by the students and a summary of the retention of the students.I. IntroductionSince 1974, NACME (the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering) has providedleadership and support at the national level to increase the representation of successful AfricanAmerican, American Indian, and Latino women and men in engineering and technology, math-and science-based careers.

For example only 20% of engineering baccalaureate degreesare awarded to women (NSF, 2004).2Interest in science and engineering majors by female freshmen has not changed

Anadditional feature of this service is that it is free to the student.This paper will discuss the process used to identifying tutor and the method of outreach to thestudents. In addition, this paper will review the findings of a survey that was conducted duringthe fall 2005 semester.

eye of skepticism. There are many articles in the Journal of Engineering Educationreferencing research projects attempting to answer whether active learning techniques areeffective. The magic is not in the use of the technique but rather all learning is made possible bythe learner making sense of the content for themselves. The techniques, if successfullyemploying the theories and research from the sciences of learning and teaching, are just tools tohelp facilitate greater student learning. The traditional manner by which we teach with lectureand individualized homework sets is largely a cultural artifact of when behaviorism was theleading philosophy explaining how people learn. Today, the boom in technology has caused aboom in research where
