We Americans want and need more applicability and social progress. Our popularity abroad should not blind us to the shortcomings we, as insiders, can discern (Digest 26 January 2001).Ø Effective quality assurance systems are needed for all engineering education programs

Teachers can bemore effective for a broader set of students by employing a modality with which students arealready very familiar.In addition to the rapid pace of technological change, engineering is also becoming increasinglyinterdisciplinary. While exercises and problem sets work well to test a student’s grasp ofindividual ideas, we believe that the integration and application of multiple concepts is bestapplied in larger project or lab settings. Traditionally, undergraduate curricula in mechanicalengineering include a capstone design project that occurs during the senior year. Students inengineering at

These misconceptions lead students to become disinterested in a field ofstudy for which they have only had a paltry exposure. Studies have shown that the best ways tospark curiosity in the STEM field is through hands-on activities, field trip tours, interactivegames, and real-world applicability. The main reasons that educational institutions have troubleproviding these concepts to their students is because of the lack of funding and the varyingemphasis on STEM programs.

classes default to lectures that are structured like a movie:premise, derivation, application as a three-act structure. In an on-ground class, a lecture-modeprofessor generally relies on their personality and presence to keep the students involved, aidedby the fact that classrooms are a closed reduced-distraction captive environment. However,online, a 90-minute lecture becomes the equivalent of delivering a 90-minute movie to thescreen-only at-home participant. Most professors are not capable of delivering a 90 minutemovie-level experience twice a week, given the nature of the material they must convey.However, mass media models such as TV talk shows, game shows, and variety shows routinelydeliver a 60-90 minute mix of engagement and information
