Theory as a basis for MEPP Course DesignThe work of course design for MEPP has benefited from the direct assistance of GregKearsley as a course consultant. In “Engagement Theory: A framework for technology-based teaching and learning,” (1999), Kearsley and Shneiderman summarize the basis forengagement as “Relate-Create-Donate.” This simple formula captures the essence of theeffective on-line course and explains the fundamental principles of CTI. 1. Relate – “Emphasizes team efforts that involve communication, planning, management and social skills.” 2. Create – “Students have to define the project (project domain) and focus their efforts on application of ideas to a specific context.” 3. Donate – “Stresses the value

The afterschool program builds on our many years of experience in conductingengineering-based professional development for K-12 teachers. The program is founded on athree-pronged approach of: 1) engaging students in inquiry-based learning opportunities thatfeature motivation of engineering concepts with readily-available technology examples, andteam-based design projects with the National Academy of Engineering 21st Century GrandChallenges themes; 2) professional development and support for teachers to guide students inmeaningful engineering design activities; and 3) informing parents and caregivers of the fullrange of STEM college and career pathway

often been avoided. With a heavy emphasis on teamwork via industry and accreditationstandards, group projects are a high priority.There are two primary problems to resolve when students work on teams. The first problem isthat students are rarely taught how to work on teams. The second problem is the need to assesseach individual’s contributions (or lack thereof) to the team.Assessing teamwork, by its very nature, is usually deemed as a subjective process. Thus, theapproach employed to perform the assessment must be structured in a manner that can beobjectively and quantitatively measured via a methodology emphasizing the teaching of teamworkand the evaluation of individual contributions to a team.

Some students choose to take Energy SystemsLaboratory at this time. However, most students take the laboratory during the second term ofthe senior year. The course, therefore, also serves as an excellent review opportunity for theEIT/FE exam. Strategies used in the thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer coursesinclude homework problems, reports, presentations, and design projects. These strategies allowstudents to apply and analyze fundamental concepts in energy systems.

The methodology can be easily taught,learned, and used, and may be practiced by individuals as well as teams.The new course uses hands-on problem-based learning and emphasizes expanding creativity andthinking skills of students. The activities include 3-D mechanical puzzles, games, mind teasers,LEGO® Mindstorms competitions, and design projects. These activities allow for self-paced,semi-guided exploration. They lead to out-of-the-box inventive thinking, imagination, intuition,common sense, and teamwork.

Despite the growing number of engineering technology degrees awarded annually,there is a scarcity of research focusing on the acquisition of engineering identity, particularlyamong FG students. Overall, this project will utilize a two phase, mixed methods approach. Inthe first phase, we will quantitatively assess academic performance comparisons between firstgeneration and continuing generation engineering students and utilize the
