levels, but on theaverage have not yet made the connection between math and engineering mechanics. It is byexample and homework problems that we instill the connection.Most presentations for making this connection are either printed matter, or computer-basedlearning. Computer-based learning holds the most promise at this time because we have to admitthat printed material is limited in its level of interactivity. It is difficult to respond to a particularstudent problem without mudding the waters for everyone.A solution, which addresses these limitations, is a program that queries students for problemcomponents. This relieves the system of having to be a complete intelligent tutoring system byaddressing specific parts of the example problem. And

HOW DO YOU DEVELOP AN OUTREACH PROGRAM?Background: Engineering Outreach at UWÐMadison The K-12 Engineering Outreach Program has been in existence since 1988. It was created as part of the NSF-funded Engineering Research Center for Plasma-Aided Manufacturing. The first outreach program was based on a kit of materials that explained the states of matter and how plasma is used in manufacturing. In 1995, Steven Zwickel, an instructor in Engineering Professional Development, became Outreach Coordinator and the program came under the auspices of the College of Engineering. In addition to the demonstration of plasma, we added new

GTAs did on all categories. On the importance ratings, GTAs placedsignificantly higher importance on all categories of GTA roles and responsibilities than facultyand students did. Both GTAs and faculty reported high discrepancy between importance andcompetence in the categories of „instructional practices‟ and „engagement with students‟. Facultyreported high discrepancy between importance and competence in the „TA Preparedness‟category while GTAs did not. The diverse needs, viewpoints, and perspectives of the threegroups that were captured by this survey provide interesting insight and valuable data fordesigning a GTA training program.IntroductionConcerns about recruitment and retention of students in engineering disciplines have resulted

classroomdemonstrations are most effective when coupled with the requirement of having the studentspredict the answer in advance of observing the demonstration(11).Our apparatus for experiments in statics is dubbed the “VectorSmith.” In addition to the threeroles of laboratory experiences described above, we believe that these laboratory experiencesshould provide students an alternative look at a particular problem. With this in mind, the fiveexperiments we developed are classic problems presented in virtually all statics textbooks. Thisallows students with different learning styles a better opportunity to grasp the concept that theproblem is conveying.Yoder et al.(12) proposed the following guidelines for hands-on laboratory experiences forteaching engineering

difficult to identify these students informally, research is emerging thatdeals with gifted students (generally those with an IQ of 140 or higher) who can also havelearning problems. So a very strong mind can have “disconnects” that interfere with learning inthe classroom. As these students move from high schools to college or from high school to jobto college, discrepancies widen between expected and actual performance. These students mayimpress teachers with very outstanding abilities, but contradict that the image with poorperformance in other areas. Often they do excellent lab work but do not do as well in theclassroom portion of an engineering course. And it’s in the academic, not in job performancethat these students find problems. Granted

Most of them assumed it involved advanced circuit analysis and electronics architecture that they were not familiar with. About 36% of EE students did not think the course was relevant, with some of them linking reliability to failure of mechanical

commonlearning styles. Another top theme at the beginning was Motivation. Many students discussedwhat they liked about certain classes in high school and how that motivated them to excel andcontinue their education through an engineering degree. There was a shift in top theme from thebeginning to the end of the semester from Learning to Time Management-Balance as shown inTable 4. By December, students have experienced a full college workload and can reflect on howwell they handled it. Additionally, a top theme for the final reflection was Study. As finals areapproaching, studying is at the front of students’ minds and they commonly mentioned how theyimproved or changed their habits throughout the course of the semester.Table 3: ​Most Popular Themes for

The students’ attitude, professionalism, independence, work habits, andintelligence ranged from average to outstanding. The upper-echelon students produced highenough quality work for presentation in engineering conferences and, with some extra input fromthe faculty, in engineering journals. The students were listed as co-authors in all publications.Three of the best students gave presentations of the results in four

INTERCULTURAL SENSITIVITYWhen designing and implementing engineering programs, it is important to keep the following questions continuallyin mind: Where are the students at in their cultural understanding? and Where do we want them to be? MiltonBennett divides the six stages of intercultural sensitivity into two categories: ethnocentricism and ethnorelativism[10]. He describes the term ethnocentricism as the experience of one’s own culture being central to reality, “the waythings are.” The three stages within this category are Denial, Defense, and Minimization of difference.Ethnorelativism is then “the experience of one’s own culture as just one organization of reality among many

challenges. One of these challenges is the lack ofeducational resources to accommodate the ever-growing student population needs [1]. As moreand more students seek out education at all levels – primary, secondary, and tertiary –educational institutions are hard pressed to expand enough for accommodating their enrollment.However, with this in mind, and the advent of the communication revolution, distance educationhas begun its’ push to the forefront in helping rectify this problem [1]. One emergingtechnological resource in this push for distance education is the ability of virtual reality to beused over the Internet on desktop computers. The use of virtual reality over the Internet allows agroup of geographically separated users to interact in real
