During the summer bridge program, students are housed together on campus andenrolled in a math course, a writing course or a social science/humanities course, and anengineering seminar.Several curricular revisions have been made within our SummerStart program over the past fiveyears. In 2009, we collaborated with a faculty member in Mathematics and Math Education todesign a new math course for our summer bridge program. This course replaced a traditionalcourse in pre-Calculus or Calculus I and allowed all engineering and computer science studentsto have a unified experience in math. The course was designed to prepare students in the bridgeprogram to succeed in their first

. This project would be more of a challengebecause of its untraditional environment. In my online search for examples of other’s who hadtried to accomplish similar tasks I found some success story examples. The state of Indiana hasstarted using workshops to educate high school teachers about six sigma using slideshows,hands-on-activities, and field trips to industry to show the effects and rewards of lean six-sigmain practice. These examples of process improvement are very inspiring for teachers whose“products” are the students and their abilities to perform as adults. These workshops alsoencourage discussion about the significant adaptation required to overcome educational hurdles.Some of these hurdles include success measurement and what is

Conclusion In this major qualifying project an inexpensive benchtop universal materials tester wasdesigned, fabricated, and assembled entirely from scratch. The design process involved detailedCAD and tolerancing, with multiple design iterations. The machine was manufactured usingCNC and manual machinery, and this included creating and executing fabrication programs inEsprit as well as many assembly tweaks and troubleshooting processes. The materials testerprototype was completed and was able to apply a tensile load to either a round or a flat specimen,and the loads could be measured with the load cell. However, a bent lead screw caused thecrossheads to bind, so the round steel test

Learning ActivitiesAbstractActive learning hands-on activities improve students’ learning. More active learning tools,approaches and activities for the engineering curriculum are critical for the education of thenext generation of engineers. A new methodology specifically aimed at the creation of hands-on active learning products (ALPs) has been developed and is described in detail withexamples. Methodology provides guidance for a more effective and efficient developmentprocess. Educational theory forms a solid basis for this methodology. A set of activities basedon the methodology for implementation in a mechanics of materials class is described.Preliminary evaluation results for the ALPs from the US Air Force Academy and AustinCommunity College
