occur, which is the fundamental reason forthis program. Our experience is that both group learning and independent thinking are enhanced,and the curriculum provides first-hand experience in the development of space technology aswell as opportunities for discovering new knowledge.I. Program Objectives and BackgroundOur fundamental goal with the USAFA small satellite program is to provide a broad,applications-oriented experience of space technology for our undergraduate students.Technology can be defined as the “application of science, engineering, and industrialorganization to create a human-built world.”1 Designing, building, and operating a smallspacecraft is the focus for experiencing all these aspects of technology. The specific objectives
providingactivities promoting abstract, design-based thinking and creativity in the classroom—like otherproducts in the educational technology marketplace, such as LEGO Mindstorms—but at a muchlower cost, PaperBots can be utilized by many budget constricted schools. Through combinationof those available materials with inexpensive electronics and an Arduino based control unitknown as the PaperBots Robotics Kit, students can be challenged with interesting andentertaining engineering activities in the classroom. In October of 2012, a small focus group offifteen fifth- and sixth-grade students assembled for a workshop utilizing the PaperBots roboticskit. This activity was observed and documented to make a qualitative determination of theeffectiveness of this

There were also students from one state in the northern part of the country. Giventhe fact that both the professors leading this were of Indian origin and had done a major part oftheir education through college in India (albeit a few decades earlier), we were clued into thecultural aspects. Additionally, we have been visiting India almost annually to keep abreast of thechanges there. The other interesting aspect of this course was that this was primarily offered tostudents who were not part of the educated elite attending the Indian Institutes of Technologies(IIT’s), or the

In today’s technology, the total Systems Engineering Life Cycle from womb-to-tomb may take asmany as 40 years or more (e.g., the B-52 and C-13 O aircraft), and each stage in the System Life Cycle and itssystem ramifications must be clearly understood by the engineer. The Fundamental SE ConceptsThe subject of Systems Engineering has been discussed by many researchers and authors [1 - 12]. According toRhode, et al. [1], SE can be viewed in many different ways: a discipline involving engineering and managementscience; a design process technology; a methodology for defining or designing “anything”; an

Other large scale surveys of national trends show thatthere were consistently smaller percentages of female science majors compared to men. Womencontinue to be underrepresented in science and engineering fields, both in terms of the number ofbachelor’s degrees they earn and their presence in the science and engineering workforce4.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) codified their ethics in 1912and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and American Society of MechanicalEngineers (ASME) soon followed in 19143,4. These codes defined the relationship of engineers tosociety, but also to their clients and employers who were to receive an engineer’s deference andgratitude. These codes have continued to evolve to an extent, but represent a minimum standardwhich engineers must achieve and have always been wrapped up in concerns of the nation andcorporations5.Engineering education in the U.S. has largely paralleled the goals of the nation.

Engineeringand Mines in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The summer camp was named MAT-ME(MATLAB, Mathematics, and Engineering) and was aimed to promote Math andEngineering among high school students in the state of North Dakota. We ran the one-week long MAT-ME camp three times in summer of years 2010, 2011, and 2012. In thispaper, we will describe the teaching materials that we developed, the results of studentsand parents’ evaluations, and the lessons learned during the three years that the camp washeld.IntroductionWell-documented trends have been reported nationally of declining interest, poorpreparedness, a lack of diverse representation, and low persistence of U.S. students inSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines.

Thewise librarian understands that the moniker of “subject expert” is not a destination, but an epicjourney that uncovers new challenges and further learning at each turn along the road. Neither isthe journey a solo venture; instead, the most satisfying aspect of the trek is often found in theinteresting, creative, inventive people that the engineering librarian has the opportunity to workwith and serve. In the end, the librarian who chooses to take the plunge into the unfamiliar andperhaps scary waters of engineering librarianship finds a sense of gratitude for making the bestcareer decision possible.References[1] N.
