challenges to date.Logistical Issues with Remote EducationA major draw to this program is the ability to complete the entire degree on a part-time basis atthe remote site (2-year school) without having to travel to the main campus. A problem with thisapproach is that the remote sites only have limited faculty (initially 2 faculty members at UW-RC and 1 at UW-FV). The on-site faculty will not have expertise in every area. In addition,circumstances will occur where students will have to make-up a missed/failed course or wish totake a specialty course offered on the main campus. The initial thought was to offer thesecourses via distance education. The issue with our EE curriculum is that each course has alaboratory and most have design projects. This

Page 25.925.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Measuring Undergraduate Student Perceptions of the Impact of Project Lead The WayIntroductionNumerous reports and studies have identified K-12 engineering programs as a means ofaddressing the “pipeline” issue by increasing interest in pursuing engineering as a career andpreparing K-12 students for further study in engineering at the university level1. Project LeadThe Way (PLTW) is the most prevalent high school engineering program, and is often cited as amodel for including engineering in the K-12 curriculum. PLTW can trace its roots to theShenendehowa Central School District in upstate New York. The success achieved

I was doing testing, I was troubleshooting machines. Yeah. Right now I'm in a project that I've been troubleshooting a machine for a month. A lot of electrical parts broke and some mechanical parts broke. And it's nice to be seen like that.”In addition to the tasks Aspen named specifically, testing and troubleshooting, Kai noted theskills he gained through his internship as key takeaways, stating that after his experience, “I canread through the datasheet, take out what I want.

-awareengineers in industry. Market-awareness and customer-focus are also associated with entrepreneur-ship, which has been given increased focus in engineering education. A common tool for gaugingcustomer interest in industry is the focus group. Herein we examine the effect of customer voiceas presented in a focus group for influencing engineering product design generated by studentsas part of the virtual internship and epistemic game Nephrotex. We find that customer exposureis related to decreased product cost without a change in product quality. Therefore, we suggestthat the injection of customer voice into the engineering curriculum is a valid method by which toimprove engineering design pedagogy.Key words: Design process, entrepreneurship, gamesFALL

products for satisfying customers/societyneeds. One of primary outcomes for mechanical students is the ability to effectively conductengineering design. There are generally four common problems for students in engineeringdesign. First, for complicated components or assemblies or a machine, it is very hard for them tovisualize in 3D based on 2D mechanical drawings. Secondly, most times, students are not surewhether the components can be built or economically manufactured, or never think aboutmanufacturing during design. Thirdly, some of students are not sure how to assemblecomponents into a complicated assembly because it is very hard for this digital generation tofigure it out based on 2D assembly drawings. Finally, students are not sure whether

We feel that our Digital Design coursesshould emphasize both fundamental issues and technology dependent skills. The fundamentalsare basic concepts which are likely to be applicable for several years after graduation of thestudents and the technology dependent skills which may last only for a few years. Our ComputerEngineering track students are getting the fundamentals in all three course sequences and thetechnology dependent skills in the Digital Design I and Digital Design II.Any undergraduate Computer Science curriculum should require

Sub-Theme #1: Engagement Traditional lecture notes that require students to fill in the gaps, worksheets, problem-solving sessions and some video or physical demos are the preferred approaches when implementing active learning. An opportunity to listen and diagnose a condition has never been employed in the classroom. Students described an increase in engagement and motivation with this STEAM approach combining music with STEM concepts to better understand physiology behind heart sounds. • This new interdisciplinary learning experience made me engage more with the curriculum as I was better able to

It isvital for engineering students to recognize the importance of MSE, and the roles materials play inengineering. MSE education, instruction, and relation to MSE and non-MSE courses are dependent onthe engineering program unison. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the education andapplication of MSE courses are most effective when key MSE concepts, principles, and knowledgethreads are continuously introduced, reviewed, and reintroduced for students in all levels of courses.For better outcomes, it is recommended that MSE instructors highlight materials’ importance throughapplication and explain MSE’s

Within the undergraduate engineering curriculum, the students pursueproject-based learning (PBL) especially in courses involving modeling and design of engineeringsystems. The students learn to work in diverse teams, generate concepts, model and designsystems, deploy designed prototypes, and communicate project outcomes. To measure theeffectiveness of PBL methodology in undergraduate engineering education, it is important todetermine the
