The approaches include writing-to-learn exercises to enhance students’ mastery of technical concepts, individual courses thataddress specific types of documents and presentations (e.g., the design report, the laboratoryreport), and integrated curricula that support students throughout a curriculum.

Interest, not performance, hasbeen shown to be a greater predictor of choosing to concentrate in STEM1. However, schoolsoften neglect the engineering component of STEM. Consequently, extracurriculars such asscience centers must play key roles in influencing children by fostering interest in engineering.Taking advantage of the popular tinkering and Do-It-Yourself Maker movement, increasinglymore science centers are offering engineering and maker programs.

Tothis end, our faculty has worked over the past few years to find a unique selling proposition. Byworking with current and incoming students in the program, it was determined that the conceptof a career in electronic product and system development (actually participating in the design anddevelopment of the devices they use every day) resonated better with new students. While this isnot a new concept especially in mechanical and manufacturing programs2,3, a literature searchindicates that this idea is unique among electronics programs.

This is unfortunate since most descriptions ofengineering careers include service to society or meeting societal needs as a goal or requirementof the profession 2, 8. Furthermore, service-learning in engineering courses provides theopportunity for experiential learning that can not only help develop technical and soft skills, butcan also help establish the skills for practicing engineering in an ethical and civically mindedmanner 2

However,interaction with business students rarely occurs before the senior year, if then. This deficiencyprevents the development of a key skill required for industrial engineering practice.

Both approaches allow theinteractions to occur earlier in the curriculum. The first approach is through class partnering.Such partnering emulates more long term interdisciplinary efforts such as design teams andconfiguration
