The program‟s focus is to promote and support a standardized, pre-engineering curriculum in K-12 schools that is both stimulating and motivating. And whilePLTW curriculum prepares students to enter into a college-level engineering degree program, itsimultaneously builds their enthusiasm for the subject matter.Introducing these topics during high school will attract more students to engineering and willallow students to better

experiences inestablishing a new engineering collection and services from the ground-up.IntroductionThe rapid growth of engineering programs across many different types of institutions is welldocumented. As a recent ASEE Prism [1] article noted, “the growth curve coincides with anational push for STEM education by policymakers at all levels. It also reflects a recession-chastened generation of students seeking a degree that translates to a stable, well-paying job, andwidening opportunities for engineers in advanced manufacturing, computer science, and thebiomedical and biotechnology fields.” Reflecting this national trend, Dixie State University, apublic comprehensive university recently moved from offering a pre-engineering associatesprogram to

CDM is relatively unknown in theUnited States, but, it has been used for several years in the former Soviet Union, and morerecently, in the Russian Federation. CDM proves to be quite versatile and considerably fasterthan conventional PT techniques used in the U.S. In this paper, the underlying science behind theCDM technique is
