Wishful identification is the child’s projection into the role of a character, such as HarryPotter. The familiarity of certain occupational markers can then translate into interest as apotential vocation. Therefore if positive

Introduction and BackgroundIn 2009 and 2010, the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Department at the Illinois Instituteof Technology held two workshops titled: “Integrating Innovation into Engineering Education.”The workshops were part of the Illinois Coalition for Manufacturing Innovation (ICMI), which issponsored by the Small Business Administration and includes Argonne National Laboratory,Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, and the Chicago Manufacturing Center. The goals of ICMIare to incorporate innovation education into the engineering curricula, to initiate a series ofcollaborative projects with small to medium-sized manufacturers, and to work with researchinstitutions to not only facilitate this effort, but also spread its successes nationally

The lecture materialdid not change from the previous time the class was offered. Only a laboratory component wasadded to the class to reinforce the topics discussed in the lectures. This was used as a test to seeif the approach could be used in other senior level courses.In the Spring Semester of 2011 it will be tested in a junior-level electronics course and futureplans are to test it in a freshman -level course. The overall aim is to see if a curriculum-wideadoption of the board will be beneficial to the students.There is a project similar to the Digilent board known as

The BML can be used to provideclassroom announcements, group discussions, exam solution keys, grades, blogs, class roster,journals, media, and tasks. The BML was used in the classroom when the instructor interactedwith the students during the lecture time such as review of homework and exams and use ofimages and video clips to enhance students’ understanding of course concepts. Outside theregular class time, students can use the BML as their portable 24/7 classroom with on-timeaccess to course materials and tools.Development and implementationThis study is supported by a project that started

Although integrating engineering into science and mathematics teaching and learning hasmany advantages, engineering rarely receives attention in K-12 classrooms.

Students were also currently enrolled in various types of designcourses that required them to integrate and to apply knowledge and concepts they had learned inprevious courses. They pointed to this as challenging and interesting. At this upper-level stageof their engineering program (or having graduated), they were most interested in the concepts forwhich they could see a purpose. The mathematics-heavy concepts were singled out as difficultto understand and too difficult to apply in their design work and in their careers.Related to real-world applications, four students pointed to the design of physical objects eitheras their reason for

Our hypothesis is that all students generally, and women and minoritiesparticularly, are more likely to do well in statics when the problems are placed in the context ofreal world usefulness. Towards that end, we have been developing InTEL (Interactive Toolkit forEngineering Education), a computer-based manipulable environment that supports teaching andlearning in statics by mapping images from real-world environments to abstract free-bodydiagrams for 2D and 3D equilibrium problems. To the best of our knowledge, there are very fewonline tools students can use to study 3D equilibrium problems. Yet

Presentedhere is a lab instrument that serves well for teaching basic, “ground-floor,” digital circuits tostudents who have no engineering background. Also included is a teaching strategy that uses thisinstrument to present digital circuits in an uncomplicated and non-intimidating way.
