subject’s segments were focused on problem scoping and 970 on re-checking constraints in the latter stages ofher design process. Figure 3 also shows how the other three variables are emphasized during the three major phases of thesubject’s design process. Under each phase, codes with the largest number of segments devoted to them areidentified. For example, in the analysis phase the primary information processed was coded DIMENSIONS,MATERIALS, MATERIAL COSTS, and BUDGET. Information Processed. This variable describes what specific information the subject is thinking aboutwhile they solve the problem. Figure 3 shows that this subject spent little effort on non-technical issues such asHANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY or SAFETY. She focused

Most students surveyed in the program had little idea about career opportunities for people with math and science degrees and could not tell the differences among engineering disciplines. 3. Tribal school students are underserved by the educational system in terms of gaining scientific and quantitative literacy (Babco, 2003). Teacher shortages and improper training in new technologies; a lack of facilities, resources and technical supports; and inappropriate curricular designs have contributed to lower achievement of Native American student sin STEM related content areas (Lin et al., 2006) 4.

A couple of the students didcomment during the week in which possible changes to the curriculum were discussed thatperhaps if the course is to be required it should carry degree credit. However, all students seemedto consider the course quite worthwhile.Another concern was the possible increase in faculty workload. From the point of view of thecourse coordinator, the only real ‘work’ associated with the course was arranging for the visitors,both internal and external. Also, certain weeks required minimal organization for the discussionof that week’s topic.Benefits of the CourseThe students’ interest in chemical engineering has been confirmed by the course.

Figure 6. SDOF system shake table testsTo elaborate, the process of recording acceleration data for the frequency sweep was timeintensive (upwards of two hours); therefore, it was not possible for students to record andanalyze the data in a single three-hour lab session. To address this, the acceleration data wererecorded by the authors beforehand, and the raw acceleration data was given to the students in asingle Excel file. To perform the frequency sweep the following steps were executed:  determine approximate resonant frequency resonant based on observed response (1 Hz),  select a total of 15-20 input frequency targets approaching resonance (0.5 to 3 Hz),  input a single frequency target into the shake table,  collect at
