Results indicate students increased their skills in several engineering tasks, theirconfidence and sense of belonging in engineering increased slightly, and students had fewerhesitations to declare an engineering major at the conclusion of the course than prior to thecourse.BackgroundInstitutions of higher learning, including the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), areactively seeking to broaden participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) education and have systemic efforts in place to accomplish this goal. However, thestrategies of STEM programs that prioritize expanding access and inclusion of students fromunderrepresented groups into the classroom have

Lastly, the setup, use and curriculum for this facility has been disseminatedamong a wide group of educators. With a new educational emphasis towards concurrentengineering that combines an understanding of design and production, other institutions will beable to use this prototyping facility as a model in developing their own approach.Based on my discussions with industry employers and my own experience, I believe it isimportant for students to graduate with the knowledge on how to make their designs become areality.

However, design can also encompass a process to achieve adesirable end result. Process engineering is widely utilized in manufacturing and chemicalengineering.2,3 In many instances designing how to make something is more challenging thanthe original design of the component. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry attainingstability in synthesized molecules is an immense challenge.4 A more common example, inmanufacturing, is how to make a machine component economically, since in most cases severalprocesses are possible (machining, casting, etc.).

The new world view I present appliesto all engineers, even though it is certainly not accepted yet by most engineers.

While it is undeniable that these courses have a positive effect on students, it must alsobe recognized that the implementation of cornerstone projects in the curriculum is costly in termsof faculty time, and departmental resources, making full blown adaptation of this approachunattractive for many engineering schools11-12.
