biomedical engineering jobs will increase by 31.4 percentthrough 2010---double the rate for all other jobs combined.” 3 Overall job growth in this fieldwill average 15.2% through the end of the decade. The U.S. Department of Labor reportattributed the rapid rise in biomedical engineering jobs in part to an aging U.S. population andthe increasing demand for improved medical devices and systems. Specific growth areas cited inthe report included computer-assisted surgery, cellular and tissue engineering, rehabilitation, andorthopedic engineering. Accordingly, it id essential to increase the number of K-12 andundergraduate students in to this important engineering field. This can happen at two levels, byrecruiting undergraduate students from other

IntroductionWe live in an age of environmental awareness, and alternative energy education is present inmost of our daily conversations in engineering, technology, and science education. Renewableenergy today provides about 9% of the world’s energy and 8 to 10% of the U.S. needs [1].However, in many parts of the world these percentages are increasing significantly. Based oncurrent data on global warming, as well as the current U.S. dependence on overseas oil, there isan interest and urgency in utilizing alternative energy sources. In order to

First, we are taking two-hour, undergraduate-led, real-life engineering design exercises to the high schools; second, wehave created a web-based, for-credit course in basic engineering (notions of design, career paths,ethics, etc.) to bridge the gap; and third, we have created an opportunity for high school teachersto create their own web-based engineering teaching modules called Tools for Integrating Mathand Engineering, or TIME Kits.As part of a full program evaluation of our EoT project, we are also collecting and reporting dataon whether peer-led freshman physics homework sessions 20 and peer-led first-calculushomework sessions are useful in decreasing failure rates; these results are reported elsewhere,but the data
