K-12 & Pre-College Engineering

EducationAssociation (ITEA)6 has asserted that an increasing knowledge of engineering may increase thenumber of students who choose engineering and technology as their future career. This isespecially crucial because the number of students enrolling in engineering and technology hasbeen constant or declining in recent years. At the same time, the need for engineering andtechnology related school graduates is higher than ever.13 There has been a growing interest in Page 13.1083.2integrating engineering curriculum at the K-12 level as a result of the higher demand ofengineers and technicians.6,14,15 Science education research has shown that conceptions

CircuitsIntroductionAt the University of Idaho, an intermediate circuits course is required before students can takejunior-level classes. However, most community colleges only offer a first course in circuits, sotransfer students are immediately behind in their academic progression. One way to address thisis to develop an online lecture course with a suite of labs that a student can perform beforecoming to the university, say over the summer, so that the student can be on-track for graduation.In addition, as the number of online courses grows, these labs can be used by students whocannot come to campus.In our curriculum, the intermediate electrical engineering lecture and laboratory course beginswith sinusoidal sources, then introduces the students to steady

students would use the learning from the intercultural assignments to work better inthe binational teams and therefore be more effective in the project.One working hypothesis for the class was that the combination of these components wouldincrease students’ intercultural maturity and make them engineers who are better prepared for theglobal market. An important aspect of this course is that it is integrated into the engineeringcurriculum. A common issue with global competency courses is that they add extra courses tothe students’ curriculum. Therefore, demanding additional time and effort from the students whowish to develop those global competency skills.

In an effort to improvemultidisciplinary design, faculty from 3 engineering departments at UCSB met over the courseof an academic quarter to discuss a more integrated multidisciplinary capstone design programfor seniors. One complicating factor was departmental pressure to maintain the discipline-specific integrity of the engineering experience throughout the student body. Anothercomplicating factor included the disparity between course units and timelines created by eachdiscipline. In response to these challenges, we have created a supplementary multidisciplinarycapstone course (SMCC) to be coupled to the existing

The main objective of theinstructional module generated by instructors must be to ensure that the subject matter content iseffectively integrated with the presentation format (Grasha, 1990, 1996). In other words, thetask in front of the instructor would be to blend the content and presentation in theory as well aspractice (Gagne, 1992; Briggs, 1991).
