most revealing regarding the issue of importance and relevance of K-12education in the post-secondary world is the lack of research into the area K-12education, recruitment, retention and outreach. In a recent article by Wankat (2004)published in the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE), an analysis of articles and theircontent, reported sources of support, author information and citations analysis, there werezero articles with the key words “K-12 education” or “K-12 outreach.” The top threekeywords in the ten-year analysis of the JEE from 1993 through 2003 were “teaching,computers and design.” According to Wankat, both the keyword and the citation analysisshow that the content coverage of JEE is “very broad5.” Since engineering education
is to have every student on thewireless networks with their own machine, thus eliminating the need for large, overcrowdedcomputer laboratories. The 2002 fall semester was the first class-wide rollout of this program.The redesign of the freshman introductory course provided the single largest wireless computinginnovation for the School of Engineering. In the fall of 2003, all 10 sections of the introductorycourse (~320 students) were taught at the same class time with all first-year students using thevarious wireless networks within the School. The increased interaction among students andfaculty showed an immediate improvement in communications and delivery of content. Coursessuch as this are no longer limited to being held in computer labs

engineeringfundamentals.IntroductionMore than ever, the world needs innovative products, services and organizations to help societymove forward. Those who will design these advances often seek opportunities in college to bothdevelop and test new ways to solve problems in ever-growing ecosystems and new engineeringapplications. Though engineering programs often excel at teaching technical capabilities,communication, leadership, teamwork and project-based learning activities gain less attention. Inaddition, engineering programs typically lack a structured method to apply entrepreneurialthinking to their studies, where questions of financial viability, social usefulness and potentialdemand for their engineering solutions are integrated into their coursework. Therefore, co

The purpose of this research study was to examine whether a critical thinkingintervention would increase students’ critical thinking skills. This study was conducted over athree-year period as a mixed methods, quasi–experimental design examining STEM students’critical thinking skills at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU).

Teachers need to first develop their ownunderstanding of engineering, create linkages between the subject content they teach to developlessons that apply these concepts to solve engineering problems. Engineers solve problems by Page 24.1213.3applying math and science principles through the engineering design process.
