At the K-12 education level, there is nouniform method by which students learn engineering, especially considering the formal andinformal contexts within which engineering can be learned [11]. Therefore, each student’sdifferent engineering design learning experience might also have a unique engineering designprocess or approach associated with it. Some

Girl Scouts STEM day isa program to help 4th or 5th grade students explore STEM activities and learn about some of theengineering fields. The event organization is led by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).The core part of the day has small groups of Girl Scouts rotate between workshops. Theseworkshops were conducted by faculty from different departments. In each workshop, one facultyand several college student volunteers, led by the SWE student chapter, introduced and guidedthe activity. Members of Girl Scouts participated in STEM-related hands-on workshops

Discussion of graduate programs focused primarily on the need for increased research and fellowshipfunding to encourage greater numbers of domestic students to pursue advanced degrees in engineering and science.Engineering Ph.D. programs focus, appropriately, on helping students develop the skills needed to conduct originalresearch. Their structure, emphasizing advanced coursework and publishable research, differs little from Ph.D.programs in the sciences. Similarly, some might argue that for many programs, “success” can be defined as placingtop doctoral

The paper demonstrates how an existing curricular element canbe reviewed and modified within the context of program objectives and outcomes. It alsoexplains how the ABET outcome based process has enhanced the MET program throughjust this course.
