The project aimed to increase teacherengineering education self-efficacy and thus student understanding about and interest inengineering processes and careers. In this paper, we focus on the value of the RREE project toprovide professional development to rural schools and present

The coursescan take a wide variety of different forms, both in terms of number of credits and number ofsemesters, and in terms of course objectives and content. Some courses attempt to introducestudents to a variety of engineering disciplines, while others focus on a single discipline.

It is well known that a semester system has many advantages over a quarter system [7], [8].The benefits of a semester system are its reduced student cognitive load each week, betterstudent engagement both inside and outside the classroom, smooth student transfers, and bettertiming of students’ availability for internships and employment. Most of our students have daytime jobs, thus with the shortened contact hours each week in the semester system, there is lesslikelihood of student and faculty burnouts; and enhanced opportunities for project basedlearning, group exercises, field trips, and subdivision of projects into several phases in designoriented courses.Why is our college converting to semesters? • Aligns our academic calendar

An experiment was conducted with senior design students through an iterative design-fabrication-redesign-fabrication sequence to enable hands-on experience on desktop-levelmanufacturing equipment. His work strongly asserts the need to include practical training whileincluding design-intensive prototyping courses. During the initial phases, universities do not needto invest in commercial-level equipment, since desktop machines could provide students withuseful insights for basic understanding of processes.
