Through an integrated approach to learning, engineering education has thepotential to not only be a catalyst for improving K-12 STEM education[8], but to enable girls intheir development towards a career choice in engineering. This increased investment in STEMeducation will boost U.S. global competitiveness by increasing productivity[3].

The state and national standards highlight the comprehensive nature oftechnological literacy. Knowledge of the national and state technology standardsinforms teachers’ practice as they work to integrate all aspects of technology acrossdisciplines within the curriculum. Student Learning Objectives Students should be able to: 6a.) Identify aspects of state and national technology standards in their inquiry- based projects. 6b.) Incorporate issues related to technology in the K-8 curriculum. ImplementationThe course builds on the successful course for first-year

These universities differ in their characteristics, therebyadding to the generalizability of our findings. At each school, the course covers basic numericalmethods for differentiation, nonlinear equations, simultaneous linear equations, interpolation,regression, integration, and ordinary differential equations.

Also, short assignments were selected to encourage the students to reflect uponour discussions and take positive actions in their daily activities. Students are encouraged tocontribute to all discussions and to provide input on other topics they would like to see in thecourse. Approximately 90 students begin the first semester course, with most continuing onthrough the second semester. Students have consistently selected this course as the most usefulcourse from their first year and strongly urge other students to participate in future offerings.I. Introduction

However, concepts such as time-domain convolutionand frequency-domain spectra can be elusive to students.

This paper summarizes the historyand development of the blended approach to these two courses and discusses some preliminaryresults. After one semester of implementation, we found that student performance did notimprove or degrade significantly and that the redesign required a great deal of effort to put intoplace.
