underrepresented students are less likely than their white male peers to have beensocialized to do hands-on activities or encouraged to use toys, tools, or gadgets that mightpromote their interest in engineering. The research question for this study is: What is the role ofproblem-oriented pedagogical strategies in increasing the diversity of students in technicaleducation among community college students? In this paper, we argue that success intechnology and engineering education requires technical capital, which is experience with“tinkering,” manipulating tools, doing hands-on work, and knowing the process of solvingproblems that require technical solutions. Thus, to increase diversity in technology andengineering education and careers, programs should

This visionwas then translated into a network infrastructure upgrade of the Cox Tech Center that met thediverse needs of its users. Problems were identified, and best practices and more effectivemethods of using newer technologies were deployed to address the deficiencies. This process ledto the implementation of an effective solution while using available resources. The organizationchart involved the Cox Tech Center lab, National University faculty, and the Capstone students.Their working relationships and the reporting structure is shown in Figure 1.

Database management, by its own nature, is considered a multidisciplinary subject. It isnot surprising that this topic remains among the most sought-after and popular subjects taken bystudents in engineering, science, business and technology disciplines. At most universities, bothtechnical and non-technical graduate and undergraduate programs require at least one database course.Usually, such a course introduces the concepts of relational database design, modeling, implementationand administration.
