the 1990’s undergraduate science programs, physics programs in particular, began to developactive learning techniques to supplement or replace traditional lecture methods. Two of the moreeffective methods developed were just-in-time-teaching (JiTT)1 and peer instruction2. Theseactive learning techniques have proven to be effective methods and have steadily been deployedin undergraduate classrooms over the past 15 years. While not limited to use in the physicalsciences, these techniques have seen much wider use in science classrooms than in engineeringclassrooms. The results of a national survey of faculty using peer instruction show 94% of usersfrom the natural sciences and only 3% from engineering3. While there is some publishedscholarly
appropriatebackground for the project, and that, after learning more details about the project, the studentsare still interested.Once a project is staffed with the necessary student(s), the project officially begins. This isinitiated by a kick-off meeting at the company. The MEDITEC program pays for the students totravel to the company to meet their technical leads, learn all relevant information about theproject, obtain necessary parts or equipment, and see the facilities.FinancesThe donation from each company is used to support the MEDITEC projects. The moneyallocated per project is nominally $5,000. Any funds that are not used remain in the MEDITECfund. This covers student stipends, site visits and travel, project materials, laboratory usagecosts, and
considered. Future assessments shouldinclude how effective the program is in recruiting students to Cal Poly and what other possiblelong term impacts there may be.

future engineers willalso think more green energy efficient in the original designs they perform since they will nowhave the tools to evaluate options and present the long term savings of a greener energy designthat might have a slightly more initial cost. It is hoped that more programs will find room intheir programs for a similar course to the one presented in this paper.Bibliography1. Capehart, B. L., Turner, W. C. & Kennedy, W.J., (2008).
