At the end of their researchworkshop, they developed customized hands-on advanced manufacturing curricula for theirstudents. This project produced fifteen competent high school and community college educators,who are capable of blending research with educational activities at their institutions, motivatingstudents for STEM degrees, and building long-term collaborative partnerships in the region. Thispaper will share some of their successful research projects, how they translated their research intoactionable curriculum modules, and some lessons learned from

In the College ofEngineering new courses must submit a course proposal that is approved by the department(generally via a curriculum committee), and then approved by the Dean. To date, few EVENstudents have taken these courses, which would count as technical electives toward the ABETaccredited B.S. degree. The physics course has been the most popular among EVEN students,likely because it has been reliably offered and has no pre-requisites. Textbooks used in thecourses are also listed.

engineering curriculum.The solid modeling courses provide a unique opportunity to work with many of the corecomponents of the engineering design process much earlier in the curriculum. For instance, thedevelopment of a solid model of a complex part requires identifying criteria (such as necessarydimensions), brainstorming, generating ideas, developing a plan to produce the solid model in anefficient manner, and actually constructing the solid model. Additionally, there can be someiterations in the plan as the designer attempts to develop a creation path and runs into an obstacleand has to revise the plan.Unlike full-scale engineering design, Mathematics and Physics are not obstacles in the designprocess involved with the creation of 3D solid models

The original software forthis modulation technique was written and developed by Martinez [1]. Two features that makePSK31 an ideal mode for digital communications are the extremely narrow bandwidth of thetransmitted signal, and the high immunity of PSK to background noise.

Students need “opportunities to link the theoretical constructsdeveloped in the classroom with the practical application in the workforce” [4].Perhaps the greatest advantage for using cases in an engineering classroom is thatstudents must focus on the applications in the workforce by solving real world problems.There are numerous advantages for integrating cases into an engineering curriculum.These can be generalized in four main categories: 1) cases provide students with a link tothe real world; 2) cases develop students’ critical thinking and problem solving

It is also known that simple presentation ofinformation does not constitute good transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the learner. Thetechniques and material expected to be transmitted should be useful to students and must beretained in the long term memory. At the same time, the students should be able to generalizethat knowledge gained to other and similar situations. There are a number of instructional methods being developed and practiced in highereducation as a means of changing the traditional teaching methodologies [1-13]. Some of theseinclude cooperative learning, case based teaching, writing across the curriculum, and

Students are now obviously moreprepared for material presented in upper level courses and professors have been able to coveradvanced material more deeply.
