An alternative course structure is presented,which allows for the new principles and concepts, and consequently might make advances inengineering education. The proposal is focused on the Systematic Planning Approach and bringsan instrument - a Knowledge Based System which embodies the new principles and concepts - topragmatically assist course designers in the development of their tasks. Some preliminary resultsfrom ongoing experiences are discussed.

Assessment of theprogram will be ongoing, focusing on retention and academic performance.IntroductionAs the economy changes and more emphasis is placed on jobs in technology-related industries, itfalls to the higher education system to prepare students for careers in these fields. Many collegesof engineering, especially those with an urban mission, have recognized that a poor preparationin math and science reduces their students’ chance for success in an undergraduate engineeringprogram.

Although,there is a significant drop in student interest in studying engineering one year afterparticipation in the Engineers Week activities, the percentage of students interested inengineering one year after the event was still higher than the percentage found in theinitial pre-exposure results. What is the reason for this decrease in interest? Based on theone-year after survey results, 11.5% (22 out of 192) of students said they had participatedin some other engineering-related activities during that year.

, they are inherently benefitting society.Missing from the conversations were discussions of civic responsibility for an engineer. Onestudent talked about wanting to positively affect society by working on building codecommittees, and two other students highlighted an engineer’s ability to educate the public aboutissues like hydraulic fracturing. None of the students, however, talked directly about the needfor engineers to influence legislation or guide public policy. With only six of the 535 membersof congress being engineers, and only 11 from Science, Technology, Engineering orMathematics (STEM) backgrounds17, it is not surprising that ideas of civic responsibility arelacking in the discourse surrounding the role of engineers in society.(c

That said, the correlation between retention rates andthe inability of incoming students to progress through the required calculus sequence cannot beignored. This problem is not unique to WSU, and in recent years has received substantialattention in the engineering education literature10-16.
