encourage students to continue on to college topursue science or health careers and to provide them with an intensive, real-life college learningand living experience. More broadly, the program is designed to help redress the grave andcontinuing underrepresentation of minorities in those careers.II. Institutional BackgroundUnion College is a small liberal arts college in Schenectady, NY. Founded in 1795, it was the firstarts college to offer engineering as part of its curriculum. In the fall of 2000 the undergraduatestudent population was 2,064. Of these, 172 (8.3%) were students from underrepresentedminorities. Minority representation among more than 300 students advised by our HealthProfessions Program is 17.2%III. Recruitment of Program
contents of the hybrid curriculum was administered at the end of the semester. To facilitatethe hybrid approach, a process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) materials science text book wasused in this research. In addition, class instruction included active learning activities such as in-classdemonstrations, hands-on exercises and mini- presentations by students on various topics. The post- testresults of the MCI scores was 43% showing an average gain of 7% compared to the pre- test results.Student attitudes towards the hybrid curriculum were positive and very well received. Students found in-class demonstrations as a means of learning very helpful over POGIL, in-class discussions, homeworkassignments, and mini

sorts of people who aren‟t engineers, you know, the politicians and businessmen and bankers. And, they don‟t want the equations. They want, is the building gonna stand and how much is it gonna cost me. And I think so many people at this school think [liberal arts] classes are a joke, which they are at this school. I mean, it‟s a total joke. But I think I would toughen up that part of the curriculum because, while we‟re engineers and we need good technical degrees, we also have to be able to function in society and interface with society and explain our engineering fast to people that have no technical training.In summary, Hillary was highly socially integrated with her school.

for us however toask how best to use this experience to enhance an adult engineering students’ experience indegree programs.Extensive work in the field of Adult Education has focused on areas where adults are wellrepresented, including workplace training, and community colleges, but less literature has takenadult engineering students as the focus. Furthermore, within engineering education, variousspecial groups have been studied at some length, including women and ethnic minorities, but lesshas centered on adult students.Two recent areas of research that may have connections to adult engineering students includework on United States military veterans in engineering and the integration of peer tutors and peerquality managers in the learning

Anothermethod is to require each student to find a hosting firm and develop a case study (relatingto the content of the course) that is presented to the class. One more strategy formaximizing outside of class behavior relates to the time consuming activity of viewingaudio visual materials such as DVDs. Require the students to view the materials on theirown time at the library (room use only) and write a three paragraph “executive summary”that is collected and serves as discussion points during class.

An Air Primus Air40 wind turbine7 (Figure 4) is used to provide a secondarysource of energy in addition to the solar panels. The wind turbine is mounted to a steel pole at aheight of 23’ and contains an integrated charge controller that allows the wiring to be directlyconnected to the battery bank. It requires a 7 mph wind to begin spinning the turbine blades. Therated output is 160 watts given a 12 mph wind speed.Other major components of the renewable system include the batteries for energy storage (two100 Ah

ofwhat to expect when we encounter something new14. Conceptual knowledge is theunderstanding or interpretation one may have about concepts. This can then be carried into futuresituations, providing the holder with an idea of what to expect in that situation15. Conceptualknowledge can be related to the “Understanding” level of Bloom’s Taxonomy16. While thislevel is not often considered to be difficult for students, it is one of the foundations of higherlearning. Higher thought is likely to be clouded if that foundation is weak, unclear, ormisunderstood15. When concepts are well-understood, students are often able to explain relatedproblems, make inferences from the problem, integrate other ideas, predict outcomes and applyconceptual knowledge to

background required to make good design decisions, they often need help in bringingstructure to their effort. Even though much progress has been made at Mercer recently in integrating designwithin the engineering science curriculum, students still have difficulty applying their engineering scienceunderstanding to the task of making good design decisions. This is particularly true when the project ismultidisciplinary and the functional requirements include those that are difficult to quantify. Often, thestudent’s experience with the aspect of design methodology dealing with feasibility and merit analysis hasbeen limited to classroom exercises. When an actual device must be designed, built, and tested, and thestudents must interface with a real client

This initiative is in-line with the development of a new Aerospace engineering program at Southern PolytechnicState University. The research skills obtained by undergraduate students in their early educationcareers are an important learning experience. Special emphasis is put on design, practice,integration, and application of the scientific and technical knowledge learned from the classroomthrough various activities. The topic chosen for research is rather simple yet important tounderstand. It has real world applications. It provides analytical and experimental knowledge andskills to the students involved
