begin with low-fidelity prototyping by usingreadily-available materials to produce physical artifacts. These materials engage problem solvers ofall ages and educational levels because successful application of the method rests upon latentcreativity rather than tool usage skills or availability of machines. However, experiencing success inlow-fidelity prototyping does not correlate with success when moving to medium-fidelityprototypes, and this is a consistent source of struggle for teams and individuals. Low-fidelityprototypes may be made from simple materials like cardboard, tape, popsicle sticks, and rubberbands, but the same idea remade as medium-fidelity prototype may necessitate the use of wood,fasteners, a dowel, and actual springs

accurately describe what an engineer does,perhaps reinforcing the old saying that “we fear what we do not know”. Traditionally, earlyAmerican schools taught students essential academic and trade skills. Students were instructed onproper methods of maintaining the farm, homemaking and even apprenticeship skills. Yet why arestudents today, not taught the basics of what is a rapidly growing field in the world? Recently,current programs have been implemented that attempt to bridge secondary education with Page 8.399.1engineering fundamentals, such as the Techtronics1 Program at Duke University, and the Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for

IntroductionIn many cases a liberally educated engineer going into the workplace for the first time does notappreciate how the various components of his/her education are linked until those links getforged during the practice of engineering. A traditional engineering curriculum is constructedalong the lines of... an engineer needs to know about X so make a course that teaches X, it isimportant for an engineer to know something about Y so here is a course that teaches Y. Are Xand Y related? They might be if they are part of a discipline or course sequence but therelationship may be more academic than practical. Academic programs tend to be

Since upcoming initiatives are so demanding, newer systems prevent professors toform a company or participate with new entrepreneurs. One of the greatest examples is the long-standing demand of interconnections to nano-electronic components.
