RVGS is one of the first high schools in the United States that allows students totake an online calculus based engineering mechanics course for college credit. Most other highschool engineering programs investigate the profession in general terms and then focus on“hands-on” project oriented activities.

Some faculty deemed the workshop so relevant to their classesthat they decided to include it in their syllabus for the fall and make it mandatory for theirstudents to participate. One other very important idea suggested by faculty was that theworkshop be recorded and made available online so that it could be available to those notparticipating in the workshop and enabling its content be reused in future courses. This initialplanning step also helped secure the faculty speakers for the campus session.The faculty enthusiasm was so great that the news about the workshop reached multiple officeson campus that were interested in offering event support.

Theorigin of learning is rooted in the activity, which is doing something to find out about specifictopics. Active learning constitutes a natural pair in any education, especially in engineering andmanagement. Engineering and management students are trained to design and construct solutionsto problems in the real world.
