The project mentoringteam included five engineering faculty and one technology management faculty, who led sixgraduate researchers to partner with teachers as research collaborators. The Director ofuniversity-based Center for K-12 STEM Education facilitated teachers’ participation in STEM-related social media events. An external evaluator conducted project assessment. The projectteam created a motivational and engaging program for teachers that included training in moderntechnologies; immersion in inquiry-based, hands-on, collaborative research; and opportunities tofoster entrepreneurial skills. The overarching objectives of the project are as follows.1. Introduce teachers to modern technologies, such as

Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Elec- tromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Science. As Associate Dean he is responsible for the accreditation process, recruitment and retention of students, community college visitation, management of the scholar- ship program and services to university and state committees. In addition to these activities, he has created the Harold Frank Engineering Entrepreneurship Institute in cooperation with the College of Business that exposes engineering students to the realities of the business aspects of engineering and better prepares them to work in the changing global marketplace. This work resulted in the 2008 Kauffman Foundation award for contributions to entrepreneurship education

methods textbook15 for reading assignments and problem sets. In Summer 2003 semester, students were instructed on the same topic of NonlinearEquations using both lecture and the web-based resources that were developed for the course,hereafter referred to as the Web Enhanced Lecture. Before discussing numerical methods for amathematical procedure, we conducted an in-class and informal diagnostic test on thebackground information via several multiple-choice questions. This allowed us to reviewspecific material that most students struggle with. We used PowerPoint presentations to presentthe topics. These presentations were continually supplemented with discussions based onspontaneous instructor and student questions. Several times during the

A vast amount of research has beendedicated to the study of new teaching methods and laboratory curricula to ensure that ourstudents are understanding, learning, and applying this knowledge to solve problems1,2,3.Project-based learning (PBL) provides students with a broader context to the material learned inclass. With project-based learning students shift from a passive to an active learning pattern thatis likely to improve knowledge retention as well as the ability to integrate material from differentcourses4. Each project provides students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge they havelearned in classes, and each problem they face in the project inspires them to explore the materialmore deeply in

TheLITEE multimedia instructional package also includes a comprehensive instructor's manual inCD-ROM format, which includes solutions adapted from the real world situations with live videofootage, animations, teaching suggestions, PowerPoint presentations, and potential examquestions. Both the student version and instructor’s manual include innovative features such asaudio clips, video clips, and decision support software. The time span for a typical multimedia case study implementation in a classroom rangesfrom one day to five weeks, depending on how the instructor decides to structure the class. Thetasks are broken into three phases -- before class, during class, and after class. Prior to the initialclass session, the

In our approach, we perform an explicit link with embedded computingconcepts to subject material from elsewhere in the curriculum that would directly employ thetopic at hand4.Our class is targeted at 3rd year students. At this point in their curriculum they will have hadintroductory courses such as Digital Logic Design, Linear Circuits, and Electronics; Signals andSystems is co-requisite and electrical engineering majors will also be taking ElectromagneticFields. As they move from this course into the 4th year, they may choose to take elective coursesin controls, communications, wireless design, or networking.Course StructureAlthough this course includes both a lecture and laboratory

Page 24.367.7MethodThe study took place during class time. Initially, students were given the KAI inventory in orderto determine their Adaption-Innovation cognitive styles. Then, students were introduced to bestpractices in ideation and were given a design problem. The problem involved designing a low-skill snow transporter and specified design criteria and constraints. Our goal for this problem wasto make it neutrally framed, meaning it did not prompt the participants to generate any particularkind of
