IntroductionThis paper is about a program created to improve the academic success and workforce readinessfor low income, high academic potential Computer Science (CS) majors. It was funded by theScholarships for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (SSTEM) program of theNational
MIT. Prior to returning to academia to become a professor, Dr. Romatoski was a Nuclear Associate at Sargent & Lundy, a power generation consultant company and interned at 3M working on fuel cell technology testing. Current research interests include thermal fluids, nuclear reactor design and analysis, and energy systems and climate change. Pedagogical interests are ungrading and flipped classrooms.

, etc.Tinkering has been defined as a type of making that sits on the more creative and improvisationalcontinuum where things could fail in unexpected and sometimes wonderful ways [1]. Thisapproach relies on materials, phenomena and models to inspire ideas along with a collaborativeculture of facilitators and fellow tinkers to support learners in realizing their ideas [2]. A learningdimensions framework for Making and Tinkering developed by the Exploratorium [3] providedguidance and structure to the “tinkering” instructional initiative for this project. Although theframework was generated with K-12 informal learning experiences in mind, it offers a promisingpedagogical approach for undergraduate engineering education.

IdeasStep 1: Students Identify BUGSThe starting point for the ideation process is to identify consumer pain points, or BUGs. Theseare instances of frustration, annoyance or dissatisfaction that people experience on a frequentbasis. We have students’ research newspapers, online news websites, online socialnetworks/bulletin boards, examine societal trends, and talk with family members and friends toidentify situations where frustrations have been experienced that are important enough to grabheadlines, generate discussion, or be vividly recalled. BUGs must reflect a significantlyimportant pain point to warrant the time and effort to develop a solution.Step 2: Develop a Formal Problem Statement – POVAfter identifying one or two "bugs" for further

The focus that thisuniversity took was to
others’ culture. Such cooperation can be constructed whereby comprehensivetraining requirements of all members are given adequate attention and used to build a common philosophy.This is a critical step in understanding international cultures and all the previous levels must have beenaccomplished successfully. An example might be where an organization like Dana Corporation needs toconduct joint training in its more than 30 multinational subsidiaries. Since the advent of educational technologyallows distance training, this level is becoming more widely used.Ideal Level: This level of training alliance is very difllcult to achieve due to its all inclusive nature. Once theprevious levels have been reached, all partners will have improved their

with these rapid changes and new requirements, and reflectthem in the formal electrical engineering education, ABET has assembled a new set ofaccreditation criteria, the EC 2000. Although the new criteria are less prescriptive than were theold criteria, EC 2000 has embedded many new requirements in criterion III, designated as“Program Outcomes and Assessment”. This criterion lists eleven areas in which the studentmust acquire knowledge, skills, and understanding 1. We have attempted to address thefollowing areas of criterion III in our EE senior capstone laboratory:a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineeringb. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret datac. an ability to
distancelearning students. While in general these students may require additional time and effort toadvise and mentor, they have helped in getting the minimum number of students required forgraduate classes. As well the students require no funding and thus new areas of research maybe looked into without the need for time-consuming proposal writing. Having graduatestudents working full-time at national laboratories also opens up the possibility for seekingnew sources of funding.5. Conclusions In general there has been a high degree of satisfaction from the distance learning studentsconcerning course delivery and content. On-campus students have also expressed highsatisfaction with the course delivery. In fact several on-campus students follow the
