major.IntroductionPartnership between an Educational Institution and Secondary Schools is not a new concept infostering learning among students. There are many universities that work closely with highschools to develop a relationship to help fit students’ needs. Universities and high schoolstraditionally maintained collaborations by including student job shadowing, outreach activities,faculty exchanges, and recruiting. The purpose of these partnerships is to expose high schoolstudents to the major so they can plan ahead to meet the needs of industries, governments,national laboratories, and the training need. The goal of any university engineering technology curriculum is to provide theinformation and skills so each student so they can be successful in their

This engineering course was unique in that it was onlyoffered to education majors. According to Genalo (1998), the course encouraged andassisted students in designing and conducting hands-on laboratory exercises, whichwere based upon real world problems constructed out of LEGOs®. The courseexpounded upon technological innovations and assisted the preservice teachers inincorporating these activities into classroom

Format The teaching experiment described herein was carried out in the “Mechanical SystemsDesign” course taught at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville (UWP). This is a junior/seniorlevel course that serves as a precursor to Senior Design. Key elements of the course include acomprehensive “design and build” project, and a lecture focus on developing the completedesign process. In the semester studied, students in the course were required to design and build alaboratory experiment to demonstrate the functioning of a mechanical system. The premisewas that the experiment would become part of a “lab kit” to be used in conjunction with an on-line presentation of the Mechanical Systems Laboratory course taught at UWP. Students worked on

Then they would apply the knowledge to solve the design project [5].Daily activities in the institute would consist of the following three interrelated components:1) Lectures: The purpose was to provide the background knowledge for conducting engineeringdesign, and illustrate how mathematics and science are used to solve real world problems.2) Experiments: Participants were to conduct an inquiry-based learning that combinedobservation with hands-on activities. Some commonly available devices were used as theexperimental objects to learn how mathematics and science were involved in making thesedevices. This type of experiments did not

As a demonstrator of the method, we present the fabrication of amicrofluidic device consisting of three individually-addressable microchannels.Microfluidic devices have at least one of their dimensions (height, width, and/or length) smallerthan 1 mm.

Additionally the students are required to participate in a co-operativeeducation experience that totals a minimum of 50 weeks over the last three years of the program.The co-operative education requirement normally consists of two 6-month blocks and one 3-month block, but the exact configuration may vary from student to student. While on co-op,students are not required to pay tuition, and often make reasonable salaries. Recent salaryfigures have been in the range of $7.50 – $23.00 per hour with an average of $13.34 per hour.Typically students with one or two co-op experience under their belts command a higher salarythan
