Copyright @ 2003, American Society for Engineering EducationAs the engineering program matured, the students that entered Baylor University to studyengineering, for the most part, were first attracted to Baylor by its reputation as a private, churchrelated institution and secondarily for engineering. From the mid 80’s to the end of the 90’s theprogram was stable with a small growth rate. In 1995, the engineering program, previously adepartment within the liberal arts college, was organized as the School of Engineering andComputer Science. With the higher visibility came pressures for growth and expansion of theengineering programs. Starting in 1999, the Engineering Department developed two newengineering programs Mechanical Engineering and

The speakers represented employers such as NASA, Magotteau,Gobbell Hays Partners, and DuPont. Only two speakers worked in Nashville, where Vanderbilt islocated. Of the remaining three, one was from Delaware, one from Alabama, and one fromTexas. Three different decades were represented, with one speaker having graduated in the '70's,two in the '80's, and two in the '90's. In addition to all speakers being alumni, four of the fivewere my former students.

. This paper presents thedetails of this experiential learning activity as well as a formative assessment of its effectiveness.I. IntroductionPrior to the 1950's, it was common for engineering programs to offer in their curricula suchcourses as sheet-metal fabrication, casting, and machine shop. With the advent of computers andmore emphasis on the theoretical side of engineering education, the courses on mechanical artswere gradually phased out with most of hands-on activities reduced and squeezed into thelaboratory courses. This shift in engineering education is mostly responsible for manyengineering graduates to have a very narrow understanding of the product development processthrough which a design concept is transformed into a physical

thereform path than other disciplines due to the existence of an assessment instrument thattests basic concepts. The well-known Force Concept Inventory (FCI) assessment instrumentof Hestenes, et al.14 has been in use for over 15 years and is now credited with stimulatingreform of physics education. Such assessment inventories can play an important part inrelating teaching techniques to student learning. The design of these instruments relies onthe designer(s) knowing the misconceptions commonly held by students in a discipline.The instruments use these misconceptions as distractors to see if a student can pick out acorrect concept from among the common misconceptions

DeterminismThe work of engineers fuels technological determinism, so it is not surprising that much of theattention in innovation in engineering education from the 1950’s until the present has beendriven, if not determined, by available educational technology that could be applied. From theearly use of visualisation aides, to audio-visual devices (film, audio cassettes, early video), fromcomputer assisted instruction through to the use of the Internet, or from CDs to multi-media andmobile computing, it seems that it is the technology with "enormous potential" looking for aneducational problem to satisfy. In the current context of the undergraduate reforms, informationtechnologies are seen as being able to support the "a key enabler aiding institutions
