Both student and faculty teams worked and collaborated jointly for the full success of the project.ISL course was a new initiative successfully organized and operated by TTU. Students andfaculty jointly worked with their counterparts in CBU. The Mesir Paste research groupsuccessfully completed its tasks and deliverables in the Spring 2012 semester. Then, a studentand faculty team from CBU came to TTU in June of 2012. The team completed volunteer workon the Free Hill Community Center’s on-going maintenance projects.

Students also desire an equitable method of Page 24.66.2assigning group grades. Having a teammate that is a “hitchhiker” is one of the major reasons forstudents’ dissatisfaction with group work1. The College of Engineering at the University ofNevada, Reno offers a first-year general engineering course that contains a large group workcomponent. Individual grades are a reflection of a student’s actual understanding of the coursematerial, whereas the

The elementary teachers come to a week-long professional developmentworkshop in the summer to learn about what engineering is, what engineers do, and howengineers use design process to solve real-world problems. Teachers learn to incorporate scienceand mathematics standards into the engineering curricula. They are also given opportunities topractice teaching engineering design process to young students at summer camps before usingthese new skills in their own classrooms

The goal ofthe project is to cement the course content and assist students early in their school career todecide if engineering is a good choice for them. The project is to reverse engineer, from ageometry perspective, a real assembly of significant complexity. The course has developed overtime to make the project very memorable and successful. Examples of projects includeinstruments, computer systems and peripherals, toys and industrial equipment (Fig. 3). This onesemester course is the student’s only formal engineering graphics training.

The challenge then has been to find approaches that to some meaningful degree improve theability of engineering and engineering technology students to solve increasingly complex andopen-ended technical problems. Two general approaches are recognized for the post-secondaryinstitutions: First, colleges can seek effective ways to collaborate with the K-12 systems to improvepreparation of students. Some initiatives are taking this arguably long-term, yet foundationallywise, approach.[1,2,3,4] Better problem solving abilities can help all students too, not just thosewho might enter science, engineering or technology fields. Second, colleges can seek better approaches to
