Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineer- ing Education (LITEE). LITEE has been recently recognized by the National Academy of Engineering as one of the twenty nine programs in the country that have successfully infused real world experiences into engineering undergraduate education. He is also the founder and director of the Auburn Engineering Technical Assistance Program (AETAP). Prior to coming to Auburn in 1984, Dr. Raju held faculty posi- tions in several universities in India and visiting positions at the Catholic University of America, Purdue University, and the Technical University of Berlin. Dr. Raju received his Ph.D. from the Indian institute of Technology, Madras, in 1977. He has made significant

. The theme of these workshops is using engineeringconcepts to excite teachers’ and students’ interests in the applications of mathematics andphysical science. Each workshop is followed by an academic year intervention duringwhich a graduate student visits the middle school classroom and assists the participatingteachers in implementing mathematical and scientific experiments. In the summer of2007, the workshop was based on the television show NUMB3RS, which is well knownfor its use of mathematics and science to solve criminal cases. As part of the summerworkshop, the teachers viewed an episode of NUMB3RS. Then, they learned about themathematical and scientific concepts discussed in the show and completed hands-onactivities that built on these

primary benefits of having students work on these multidisciplinary projects is thatthey must learn how to communicate well in order to be successful on a large team, which isvirtually impossible to teach without some form of experiential learning opportunity. This istruly a “real world” experience, because undergraduates who excel at designing a complexelectrical subsystem capable must also learn how it can be integrated into a larger system withother electrical, software, and mechanical components. Testing becomes critically important inthe overall system development process, and students learn very quickly that clearly writteninterface control documents can alleviate a great deal of redesign.

The program provides significant hands-on experience through engineering laboratories and participation in engineering projects required in eight semester-long design courses. The emphasis on fundamentals is intended to prepare students for dealing with the rapid pace of technology and the interdisciplinary nature of engineering practice. The laboratory and design portions of the program provide the students with a balanced perspective on the theory and practice of the engineering profession.9One impact of this mission is the delineation of courses into fundamentals and elective courses.The fundamentals and design courses are required of all students, and lay the foundation
