Through a series of faculty meetings inAY 2018-2019, the program decided to emphasize the following two aspects in the introductorymechanical engineering course: 1) improving students’ interests in mechanical engineeringdiscipline and career, and 2) instructing foundational engineering principles to enhance students’success rate in Statics, a 2nd year course. Most students who pass Statics pass other 2nd yearcourses to enter the 3rd year.2.2 The Introductory Mechanical Engineering Course Contents in 2019 and 2020.Table 1 summarizes the course topics and the design project offered in-person

All students collaborated on presentationsto the clients. This project involved surveys and observations during team-buildingactivities.Initially students expressed fear, trepidation, and excitement regarding the proposedinterdisciplinary collaboration. Team-building activities were introduced through anescape room experience. This allowed the authors to observe and measure the teams’success, which revealed a high level of positive interdependence, group processing, andsocial skills. Later, students demonstrated relatively high levels of satisfaction, enjoyment,and

When engineering camps are hosted by acollege and university, not only do the engineering camps provide the opportunity to recruitmore students to engineering, but they also serve as a recruitment tool for the host institution [3].In order to meet the needs expressed by PCAST, engineering programs would have to recruithigh school students into engineering and retain these students through graduation fromengineering programs.

The first is the ever increasing cost of higher education at a time when incomesare relatively flat. The second, is that this criticism of K-12 education has been repeated atregular intervals but the most significant report, The SCANS (Secretary’s Commission onAchieving Necessary Skills) report that included a curriculum model that was both academicand vocational, published in 1990, was totally ignored [14].
