During the 2012–2013 school year, AlaskaNative students had the lowest performance compared to non-Alaska Native students inmathematics and science as assessed by the Standards Based Assessments and High SchoolGraduation Qualifying Examinations for grades four through twelve3.Alaska Natives are dramatically underrepresented in STEM degrees and professions2,15–19. TheMcDowell Group20 reports that barriers to success in higher education for Alaska Natives andAmerican Indians include: “high cost of college, poor academic preparation, homesickness,cultural differences, and learning styles” (p. 33).

, materials, andenergy into a finished product. He described a general state of intellectual stagnation pointing outthat: “A major obstacle to fixing engineering design education is the mistaken idea that engineering design is an art or a skill that can be learned only through experience…” and further that “… (design) is largely a cognitive activity based on knowledge – of facts, science, engineering science, design, manufacturing principles, processes, strategies, and business organizations.”He also listed other obstacles including: a lack of support for design research, engineeringeducators not understanding design versus analysis, not knowing the difference betweendesign experience and education, limiting design

thehumanities and social sciences component of the engineering curriculum, others, including us,have regarded this change as an opportunity for curricular innovation and new pedagogicalfocus.Among other requirements, criterion 3 dictates that engineering students demonstrate (a) anunderstanding of professional and ethical responsibility; (b) an understanding of the impact ofengineering solutions in a global and societal context; (c) knowledge of contemporary issues; (d)the ability to communicate effectively; and (e) recognition of the need for, and an ability toengage in, life-long learning. Criterion 3 thus mandates the inclusion of professional ethics inthe engineering program. No less important is the focus on the understanding of the

However,USC’s dedication to a hands-on engineering pedagogy, which accelerates during student’s Junioryear, presents unique challenges for accessibility. The cornerstone of the active learning ME curriculum during Junior year is the two-semesterlaboratory sequence AME 341a: “Measurement and Instrumentation Laboratory” and AME 341b:“Mechoptronics.” These courses teach students essential laboratory skills, critical assessment ofengineering measurements, and the fundamentals of electronics, automation and integratedsystems. These courses are purposely structured to break students from habits of rote learning andthe expectation that all engineering
