created a design strategy game based on a voyage to the moon toboost STEM learning and skills of elementary and middle school students and attract the next generationof students to engage in space exploration and education. Motivating middle school students to learn STEMconcepts will help them to ultimately pursue STEM degrees later in their schooling, as noted in a recentreport by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. 1 Game-based Learning (GBL)offers a unique and innovative approach for students to learn and appreciate the STEM topics learned inthe class-room as well as increase their academic engagement. Recently, there have been many studiesrelated to introducing aerospace to K-12 students using non-traditional ways

Session 1615 “Powerful Play: Using Toys as Tools in Engineering Education”AbstractAs engineering education has changed to reflect less of a traditional teacher-centered classroomand more of a learner-centered environment, new instructional methodologies have also evolved.Many of these curricular modifications look startlingly different from traditional engineeringeducation at first glance; however, a closer look reveals that some curricular modifications areable to glean the substance of the traditional lecture, mix it up with some learner-based,collaborative, hands-on activities, and integrate the new mandates for technical communicationand
, active and collaborativelearning are not widely used in technical programs. For these and other reasons, manyengineering and technology students often find themselves frustrated and sometimes lose interestin pursuing such degrees. The present paper outlines a creative approach to curriculumdevelopment and delivery that is designed to improve engineering and technology education andto bring real-world problems to the classroom. In fact, this is one objective of the three-yearNSF-funded grant ($1.8 million) entitled “The South-East Advanced Technological EducationConsortium, SEATEC.” The consortium is a collaborative effort of five institutions acrossTennessee.

In 2002, they had a laptoprequirement for all engineering students and in 2006; the COE started the Tablet PC initiativewhich required all incoming engineering freshman students to purchase a Tablet PC. Thedepartment of Engineering Education (ENGE) is the first stop for engineering students within thecollege, as all incoming freshman are required to take two introductory courses offered by thedepartment. ENGE is one of the few departments within the college that has readily adopted thetablet PC and uses it to teach in the classroom.Previous research has shown that there are three

Aspresented in Table 1, Sorokin breaks the process into three stages, which are used here as anoutline of the individual + communal knowledge development process.

be interested in robots and technology; almost everyone loves to see robots inaction, but how are they relevant, perhaps even critical to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) andtechnical education? A positive perspective towards high tech college and career pathways is supported by the use of robotics as a toolto engage students. Many times students are unaware of the interesting, high tech, and well paid nature of jobs infields such as advanced manufacturing, and early exposure can help dispel the myths of “dirty work” which stillcloud perceptions of today’s modern advanced manufacturing environment.
