Sharer UNC Charlotte, Department of Engineering TechnologyAbstractThere is mounting evidence that a nationwide shortage of qualified high-tech workers willjeopardize the country’s economic future. It is also well established that a more proactiveapproach must be taken to nurture the intellectual development of underrepresented groups sothat the pool of scientists and engineers expands to include more women, minorities, and personswith disabilities.

. Hoover was a prolific (and sometimes eloquent) writer—often more coherent than like-minded contemporaries, such as Arthur Morgan. As engineering educators, we should befamiliar with two of his more important political tracts: American Individualism (1922) and TheChallenge to Liberty (1934). We should also be familiar with the first volume (of three) of hisMemoirs: Years of Adventure (1952). George H. Nash wrote an excellent, multi-volumebiography, the first volume of which, The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Engineer (1983) bears onHoover’s engineering career. Finally, the eighth chapter of Edwin T. Layton, Jr.’s The Revolt ofthe Engineers (1971) contains a fascinating analysis of Hoover’s participation in the attemptedreform of the American

The goal is to break out of the engineering mind set that tends to startworrying about how to make it in detail, before expanding the pool of ideas.III. ScreeningThe term screening refers to a systematic and unbiased process of selecting a small number ofideas to investigate further from the many ideas generated in the ideation phase. This is animportant concept in the marketing New Product Development process and is enumerated in theCrawford and Benedetto text that is used in that class. Student teams began this phase bydesigning a screening method that reflected the priorities of the project sponsors. Despite thefact that the most

The education goal of the museum is toprovide visitors with an understanding of the basic concept of electronics and an appreciation ofevolutionary milestones of sophisticated electronics systems. In support of these objectives, themuseum’s priority is to provide a motivational environment for students of all ages to gain anunderstanding of basic engineering and the career opportunities available through highereducation. With this priority in mind, the Historical Electronic Museum started the YoungEngineers and Scientist Seminars (YESS) program in the fall of 2002, for highly gifted highschool students from
