. Recommendations are made toaddress student concerns that include active and cooperative learning approaches, and thedevelopment of learning communities.Introduction In today’s technological society the need for engineers in the workplace is at an all timehigh. In the next ten years it is estimated that the United States will need to train an additional1.9 million workers in the sciences [1], a significant portion of which will need to be engineers.Not only it is important to train larger numbers of engineers, it is also necessary to attract a moreprevalent representation of women and minorities in the engineering workforce. Identification ofthis need is certainly not new or unique to this study, yet simply highlights the need to beinterested in
discusses her initial choice to be a physics major becauseof her love of math and science, but then adds, “my new involvement in social justice convincedme that I wanted to work towards improving lives more directly than a physicist might…So afterpondering my potential life as a physicist, I decided that I wanted more social responsibility.From the little that I’ve heard and read, engineering might be the right mix of math, science, andsocial responsibility.”In her final version, this student quotes from readings from her humanities and a social scienceclasses as she outlines the various considerations that an engineer must have. From socialtheorist Harold R. Kerbo, she concludes that “with new technologies come people without thosenew technologies
that the prying models used at Georgia Instituteof Technology for ultimate loads can, with some accuracy, be used to model service load pryingforces of tension bolts in T-stub connections. The predicting capabilities of a modified modelproposed by the REU group was also evaluated. For some selected Georgia Institute ofTechnology test data it was seen that this model predicted the bolt forces better. The grouprecommended that this model needs to be explored in detail when the T-stub tests are conducted Page 7.118.7 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition

This study emphasizedthe importance of moving from an education process that was faculty and lecture centered to onethat contains significant elements that are student-centered. A student-centered activity is onethat actively engages the student in the learning process, thus enhancing their understanding andability to use the knowledge gained. This student-centered emphasis better prepares students tobe effective engineers, lifelong learners and leaders in new technology developments bystressing the importance of student participation in the discovery of knowledge.
