Thebiggest lesson is that challenging real-world design experiences help students integrateknowledge and there is a growing consensus that such experiences should be usedthroughout the engineering curriculum starting in the first year. There are twodimensions to this knowledge integration. One involves the horizontal breadth ofknowledge

is why it is difficult to attract high schoolstudents, e) strongly disagreed that manufacturing jobs are limited to Texas, f) disagreed thatmanufacturing concepts are difficult to fit in high school curriculum, g) disagreed that theworkshop may be too technical, h) disagreed that they will have enough resources to include thetraining module to high school students and i) strongly disagreed that students need to wait tillcollege to learn about manufacturing.Workshop ExperienceAfter completing the E3 program the teachers were asked to fill out a feedback survey alongsidecompleting the T-STEM posttest assessment. On average, the respondents a) strongly agreed(all) that the workshop materials were hands-on and easy to visualize the process, b
certifications and degrees.The methodology employed to assess the potential list of resources was to make an exhaustivelist (as possible, since higher education is constantly changing) of graduate and post-baccalaureate institutions that provide certification in regulatory science fields. First, thecategories of cost, availability, and curriculum needed streamlining for comparison purposes.Then, best practices needed to be identified, for both domestic and international programs.Common themes of coursework in the life sciences, biotechnology, and policy/ethics wereidentified. Often, programs would require or prefer a bachelors in health science, life sciences, orengineering with common requirements of the advanced degree mandating courses in
Computer Science andEngineering Technology, and one in Information Technology. Selected scholars include threefemale students. A small collection of COF-IMPRESC awardees’ quotes are shown below:“The COF-IMPRESS-C scholarship helps me to create my future to fuel tomorrow byenrolling me in an intense curriculum that challenges me and helps my problem-solvingabilities. The COF-IMPRESS-C scholarship also broadens my horizons by its enrollment inthe Honors College.” Will Kaufman – Computer Science & Engineering. “The money given to me by the COF-IMPRESS-C helps to give me peace of mind to focus on my studies. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to give my all learning here at the University to do the very best that I can.” Jackson Baird
is important to note that the profession hasgradually matured to the point where it is readily being accepted in service industriessuch as hospitals, retail stores, and banking. Today, this means that industrial engineersare one of the most versatile of the engineering professions, spanning various degrees offunctions within various types of organizations. Therefore, educational institutions thatoffer Industrial Engineering (IE) and Industrial Engineering Technology (IET)curriculum must also offer a versatile curriculum that will allow their graduates to gainexperience in various areas other than traditional manufacturing thereby allowing themgreater opportunity to enter into these non-traditional areas.This paper will focus on strategies

club-to-coursework relationship occurs inthe interdisciplinary (ME and MET) Capstone Design course. Club-sponsored automotivedesign and build projects are treated essentially as any other industry-sponsored project,with the twist that they are funded primarily by students who are primarily enrolled ineither the ME or MET curriculum. Many of the students fill dual roles: That is, they helpdefine the projects in their role as club members and are then enlisted by courseinstructors to design/build/test the components as members of the design teams working,resulting in a course grade. This scenario has resulted in a level of student involvement in– and enthusiasm for – the engineering education process that has rarely been seen beforeat this

manufacturingcapabilities, giving rise to the product development class at the American University. The classsoon became an essential building block in its manufacturing curriculum. Being offered both, asa business class and an engineering class, the class also helped strengthen the ties andcollaboration between the engineering department and the business school.From its inception, one of the key tenets of the class was to generate and select student ideas and,over the course of a semester, transform these ideas into tangible products. Teams of six to eightstudents from both the business school and engineering department would receive a budget of$1,000 to do this. Initial funding was provided by the industry partners of the newly mintedmanufacturing program. Later

Manufacturing in the region, however, has seen tremendous change over thepast decade 1. Low skill, labor-intensive industries have experienced cutbacks and closures whilenew, high-tech, automated manufacturing industries are growing and searching for highly skilledworkers.
