carefully balanceengineering science, information technology and multidisciplinary studies. This willinclude how to use information technology more effectively to learn, and to manageknowledge. Engineers will need more exposure to learning experiences involvingopen ended problems requiring collaboration of diverse multidisciplinary teams.Addressing America’s innovation concerns will also require engineering schools toinnovate. At SPSU, we have used an honors course focused on bringing a new productto market to introduce students to working on diverse multidisciplinary teams andto learn the body of knowledge of new product design and development. Theinnovations that are being called for in engineering education may prove to bedisruptive if only

Evaluation: C. J. Quill & Associates, Inc. was hired to evaluate the project. The head of the firm, Joy Quill, who has prior experience evaluating NASA STEM-related programs, is serving as the evaluator. Ms. Quill played a major role in the IRB approval process to conduct surveys in both campuses. IRB approval was secured in May 2011, allowing for the conduct of an online survey of City Tech and Hostos engineering and pre-engineering students before the end of the academic year. The purpose of the survey was to obtain baseline information on students’ knowledge of and interest in NASA-related engineering education and careers. Demographic information was also requested. The evaluator is also
and Engineering Educators Association(ITEEA), technology is defined as human innovation in action that involves the productionof knowledge and progressions that will develop systems to solve problems and lengthenhuman competencies. Technology also involves advancements, transformations, ormodification of the natural environment to satisfy professed requirements and desires(http://www.iteaconnect.org). With continuous advancements, transformations, andmodifications, the community stands at the vanguard of constant need for technologicaltraining and assistance. This renders a need for service. To assist in fulfilling this need,technology students should participate in service learning activities to enhance theirawareness of societal needs, and
the following reasons: 1. To ascertain the relative benefit of using a peer-to-peer active learning technique with a first semester freshman class. 2. To encourage students to communicate, provide teamwork practice and encourage learning techniques for self-directed continuing professional development − all of which are criteria of the “Program Outcomes for Engineering Technology Programs” by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)15 and part of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Green Report – “Engineering Education in a Changing World.” 3. To add variety to a nearly 3 hour lecture class that does not have a laboratory component beyond soil sieve testing, thus
