The Foundation Coalitionwas designed to permit diverse higher education institutions to work together from theirstrengths and to function as a supportive network, as they set about the task ofreconceptualizing the undergraduate engineering experience of their students. In such amanner, these institutions collectively could serve as “change agents” for the largerengineering community. The vision was that over time, through their programmaticinnovations, they would be able to attract and retain the very best of a“…demographically diverse student body; and to graduate a new generation of engineerswho can more effectively function in the 21st century.” [1]From its founding to the present, although the

That is, peoplewould come together for a period ranging from two hours or one-half day to one or two days tolearn together. The expected outcome is for the participants to apply what they learn at the endof the time period. Workshop environments, in our experience, might have people dropping in Page 5.293.1and out, perhaps coming and going to teach classes, work in their offices, answer email, or go toanother meeting.

To start, students canengage in inquiry through modifying small amounts of code in existing models. This can eitherbe a form of open-ended “tinkering” with the code to explore what happens, or more directedmodifications to model a new phenomenon [33]. There have been many successful examples ofhigh school and college students learning to use NetLogo and successfully building incisivemodels in subjects such as biology [34] and MSE [35], [36].Prior research has shown increased student understanding of core concepts in MSE through theuse of computational models [36] as well as in related

First of all, he must know enough of the work ofthe research man to be able to summarize this work and convert the results to terms which can beused directly in practical airplane design. He must know enough of the shop methods tounderstand how his designs are to be built. He should, if possible, get as much time in the air ashe can, either as a pilot or as an intelligent passenger.
