surveys, one of studentswho took open-book open-Web exams, and one of instructors who administered onlineexams.1. IntroductionIn today’s world, tests and exams are given in an environment that is increasingly artificial.Most technical work is done with computers. Few people would attempt to write acomputer program, analyze forces on a building, or even write a piece of prose, without theaid of a computer. But that’s just the kind of environment we place our students in whenthey take an exam.All of the leading learning-management systems and textbook publishers have online testingmodules that can be used to deliver quizzes or exams. However, few instructors havecompletely done away with paper exams. Online exams preclude certain types of questions
stoves. In the Materials Laboratory, students manufactured three formulationsof insulative bricks and assessed their properties by conducting various mechanical and physicaltests. The educational goals of this project were to provide the students with a hands-on, service-learning experience to enhance their technical, program management, computer andcommunication skills. Another educational goal of this program was to expose the students toideas of appropriate technology, environmental responsibility and ethics, cultural diversity andcultural sensitivity. This paper will focus on the educational objectives and outcomes associatedwith this service-learning project. Details of the project including student responsibilities,reflection and methods

are at a disadvantage and do not compete on a levelplaying field with other technical oriented students. The paper outlines the problem and suggests appliedapproaches and teaching strategies. The advantages to tailoring instruction to the non technical student willresult in improved retention and a more informed and more interested student.PROBLEM STATEMENT While all of us may be created equal twenty years down the path of life many people developdifferences in level of achievement, communication skills, technical ability and practical experience.Instructors and professors all except that fact in a technical course, that is experience and ability will varywithin a random group of students. However what do we do about it? Usually
underrepresented students are less likely than their white male peers to have beensocialized to do hands-on activities or encouraged to use toys, tools, or gadgets that mightpromote their interest in engineering. The research question for this study is: What is the role ofproblem-oriented pedagogical strategies in increasing the diversity of students in technicaleducation among community college students? In this paper, we argue that success intechnology and engineering education requires technical capital, which is experience with“tinkering,” manipulating tools, doing hands-on work, and knowing the process of solvingproblems that require technical solutions. Thus, to increase diversity in technology andengineering education and careers, programs should
