ICT fields from infrastructure to human resources were a focusof development policy for the future (Ko and Kang 2014). Viewing that the IT infrastructure,the industry, and human resources had had a tremendous success in terms of quantitativeexpansion, in 2010 the government launched a project to cultivate “IT Elites” or “IT Talents”at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Engineering Outreach: Project-Based Learning for Elementary and Middle School StudentsAbstract: Parents have sought out engineering preparatory programming for their children whohave expressed an interest in the field as a college major and as a career. The supplementaleducational industry which has arose to train the hard and soft skills required to prepare studentscontinues to grow and transform the way elementary and middle school engineering education isshared. The cost of these supplemental programs is a future investment in that they provide anentry to engineering concepts, exploration of first principles, and project based learning.

racism.Collaborative problem-solving experience is a key quality sought by most employers. It is welldocumented that effective teamwork can facilitate career progression, often leads to moreinnovative solutions, and has the potential to increase job satisfaction. Throughout theirundergraduate education, students are tasked with team-based projects to provide this requiredexperience, however they are rarely provided with the skills to be a successful team member andleader. Ambrose et al. [3] highlight that in addition to content knowledge, teamwork furtherrequires higher-order qualitative skills such as task delegation, conflict resolution, and contentsynthesis. Furthermore, research shows that stereotypes and biases towards women and studentsof color can

Figure 2 shows the four teaching techniques categories basedon the bandwidth and immediacy.

The goal of this project is todevelop a mechanical engineering program where students and faculty are immersed in a cultureof doing engineering with practicing engineers that in turn fosters an identity of being anengineer. This culture of “Engineering with Engineers” is created through changes in four areas:shared vision, reflective faculty, relevant curriculum and pedagogy, and supportive policies. Ineach, a variety of actions create the cultural change, address barriers to change, and ensuresustainability. A common theme unifying these changes is a significant connection to
