A well-equipped energy laboratory might feature onecomprehensive air handling unit or one solar energy installation, but it is not possible for largenumbers of students to have direct access to this equipment in the context of a brief two-hourlaboratory period. The challenge of operating and maintaining modern laboratory equipment is particularlyacute for large engineering technology programs that operate from more than one location.

Engineering.I. BackgroundIn 1994, convinced that they could do a better job of preparing their graduates for industry, a handful ofMechanical Engineers formed a partnership with a professor from the college of education in order tolearn more about educational strategies. Little did they know at the time where that first step would lead.This small group spent the first year discussing issues that troubled them. They bounced ideas off of oneanother. They explored educational literature. They talked about their own discipline. They tried outstrategies. They evaluated their efforts. Others took note.By the second year, two more groups were formed. By the third year, other colleges on campus wereinvolved. By the fourth year, the program had grown in numbers

In the current system, engineering programsreceive raw materials, I.e. students graduating from high schools aspiring to get a college degree.In college, particularly in engineering, students primarily follow a prescribed curriculum in aformat that is largely traditional, classroom-based instruction.

However, only small improvements in average DCIscores have occurred.
