developing new military-related aircraft.Ivan Cortes, Texas A&M University Ivan Cortes is a mechanical engineering student from Harker Heights, Texas. Some areas of interest to him are the automotive industry and product design, but ultimately he simply enjoys the challenge of solving problems and innovating through the use of technology. One of Cortes’s long-term goals is to travel abroad and gain international experience. Through involvement in programs offered at Texas A&M University, he sees an opportunity to learn by solving real problems through teamwork and collaboration. Page 25.530.1

From 1998 to present, they have given a total of nearly$200,000 to the college in support of undergraduate engineering instruction.3In 2004, the EngE faculty, in collaboration with faculty from other engineering departments andthe School of Education, were successful in getting a major engineering education project fundedby the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its departmental level reform (DLR)program.4 The goal of the DLR project is to reformulate the freshman engineering (i.e., GEprogram) within EngE and the bioprocess engineering option within the Biological SystemsEngineering (BSE) program using a theme based spiral

exception of the Private institution (Chemical was highest there at the startof the semester only). The interest in a particular major remained rather stable at the UrbanPublic and the Large Land Grant. However, there were substantial change in the distribution atthe Private and Large Urban schools.One potential reason why the Large Urban University saw a decrease in the interest inMechanical Engineering stems from an interesting issue related to major selection. As indicatedpreviously, the Large Urban University allows for direct matriculation to degree programs,though a sizable percentage (approximately 10%) of the incoming class chooses to enter asundeclared engineering. These students must then select a major by the end of their first year
