, they do not necessarily have the time to make the high levels of coordination that many university and industry engagement initiatives require. Industry engineers also have problems with the availability of time, especially during the workday - for example, it is difficult for many to devote half a day to an activity as a workshop for trainees. Often there is no money available to develop the types of initiatives that are likely to have the greatest impact. Even when funding is available to establish a new initiative, long-term financial sustainability remains problem. This paper intends to show a program that might work as a first step for engineering schools and industries to develop relations and work together in the
studio classroom arrangement and related pedagogical stylecombine to form a very effective teaching environment for introductory design-orientedcourses.26The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), through their EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC2000), has prompted engineering programs to incorporate capstone projectengineering courses in their programs.27 Early design experiences in the curriculum prepare thestudent with the tools and laboratory practice for more meaningful senior capstone projects. Sixof the EC2000 criteria appear to be logical goals for the Practicum course, albeit at anintroductory level. • Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. • Ability to design and conduct experiments as well

The fellows spend theirremaining time taking part in seminars relating appropriate educational pedagogy, discussingclassroom learning strategies, and interacting with their undergraduates. Undergraduate fellowsspend fifteen hours a week working with the graduate fellows to create activities anddemonstrations for the classroom.The undergraduate experience with engineering outreach is understated but highly rewarding.

Engineering EducationWhat is the content of this symbol manipulation? First, it is a reasonably complex programmingtask. In fact several people have referred to Godel as a “programmer” and even as “possibly theworld’s first hacker. ” But this misses the point. Godel not only had to write the program, butalso had to show that his program was correct —that his program met his specifications. Andwhat are the specifications? Well here is the relationship he established: The Representability Theorem For any relation R in a certain class there is a corresponding R such that if R(a1, ... , an) holds informally (Γnat |~ R(a 1, ... , an)) then Γnat |- R ( a1, ... , an )So the specification involves the

some high schools. Other schools, like our own, are not formally members ofEPICS but are doing many of the activities that the EPICS program promotes.One of the issues related to engineering service learning is whether the course is mostly service Page 14.586.2and not enough engineering. This is, in itself, an ethical issue. If we are offering courses that getengineering credit without doing real engineering, we are being deceitful to our students. This isan issue that many engineering programs have faced as some faculty are resistant to this newway of doing things.Many engineering service learning courses have involved service projects
