each participants approaching the projectfrom their own perspective while gaining experience through cross-disciplinary collaboration.Additionally, one international project has included students from both U.S. and Brazil followingour previous experience working with institutions from Brazil and Romania. The internationalproject will be integrated formally into the design curriculum through a recently fundedinternational exchange program administered by the U.S. Department of Education and Brazil’sMinistry of Education. Similar to multidisciplinary approach, functioning within an internationalteam demands a structured coordination and effective communication to overcome culturaldifferences, language barriers and other unforeseen obstacles
questions speak to the importance ofhands-on experiences in engineering technology. Of the 11 ETDC who provided examples ofhow Making is used in their curriculum, eight mentioned hands-on learning, prototyping, design,and/or project-based learning (PBL). The three ETDC who did not use these specific terms spokeabout specific projects (both independent and team-based) that occur within the universitymakerspace.Conclusions and Implications for Further StudyFindings from this survey indicate several things about university makerspaces and the impact ofMaking on engineering and engineering technology education.

To accomplish this, NASA APPEL reviewed current engineeringundergraduate degree requirements and surveyed numerous engineers and engineering managersthroughout the Agency. From this data, it identified several areas in NASA’s technicalworkforce’s educational background regarded as weak. As a result, NASA APPEL is currentlyincorporating educational best practices and partnering with some of the scientific community’smost respected subject matter experts to expand its engineering curriculum beyond the analyticsand specialized subsystems by developing courses in these three key areas: I.

. Since robotics is a multidisciplinary field, it naturallycreates an environment that allows students from multiple majors (especially science,technology, engineering, and math majors) to work together to develop innovative solutions. Inaddition to specific technical skills, students acquire other professional skills from this team-based working environment. Hence, robotics is believed to be a suitable tool that couldpotentially transform STEM education. However, due to its multidisciplinary characteristic, thereare also challenges associated with integrating robotics into a curriculum from any specificmajor. Therefore, robotics competitions become a very important part of STEM education.The utilization of a robotics competition to improve STEM
closely integrated with the course curriculum is criticalfor the timely success of the teams. In this paper we examine evolution of the structured designapproach and robot themes based on projects from the last nine competitions. In this structuredapproach, the teams practice generating specific objectives, idea generation, concept selection,analysis and modeling, detailed design, manufacturing, and concept refinement. Initially duringfall semester the teams focus primarily on the design and construction of the mechanical portionof their project while considering critical issues such as sensor and actuator placement andselection, and determining what role the micro-controller will play in the system. In springsemester, the robot is then completed
/Engineering strands, and a renewed focus on curriculum changes, fully supported bySPS, is underway. Three summer 2010 professional development workshops have been planned.A website has been launched to establish an effective and useful online learning community aswell as expand outreach.Can standards be interpreted in such as way as to promote deep and meaningful learning basedon education theory and the learning sciences? Can an interdisciplinary approach result inimproved teacher content knowledge, improved student performance on standardized testing, andincreased student engagement in STEM? What curricular enhancements can stimulate interest inSTEM for underrepresented students? Can engineering and the liberal arts stimulate girls’interest in STEM

Criteria.1 This proposal defines the educational objectives as “statements thatdescribe the expected accomplishments of graduates during the first few years after graduation.”The survey responses for Penn State alumni two to three years following graduation show thatdifferent kinds of achievement and measures of accomplishment apply to the different early-career paths. This raises questions that may need to be considered for curriculum design. Forinstance: What actions should we be taking to prepare our students for the broader aspects oftheir professional careers? What competencies and abilities should we emphasize in acurriculum constrained by a limited time frame? Examining the data from our surveys of recentgraduates, which include information

, differentstakeholders viewed the utility of the approach differently; for example, while alumni articulatedthe benefits of building first principles reasoning as a skill, students felt that the practice wasmore tied to a career in research and less useful in other engineering settings. Third, students inparticular noted the challenge in maximizing the learning benefits associated with first principlesthinking with the heavy workload and knowledge base in engineering.These results provide some avenues for the examination of first principles thinking inengineering education, particularly in considering the interplay between disciplinary knowledgeand learning skills, and the need to balance first principles thinking with other considerations inthe curriculum.

Graduate Education Electrospray ThrusterAn electrospray thruster system designed for use in a graduate level curriculum is outlinedthroughout this section. The thruster is designed to more realistically replicate commerciallyavailable technologies and flight qualified electrospray systems for the students to contributemeaningful research to the field. However, the cost and complexity of the system remains low.Schools with highly developed electrospray programs may have access to higher levels offunding to enable MEMS manufacturing of components and
not contribute to the production of greenhouse gases that drive globalwarming. Clean energy includes nuclear power, but renewable energy does not because, likefossil fuels, there is a finite amount of nuclear fuel on earth; thus, I prefer to use the term cleanenergy because nuclear power can support the near-term carbon reduction goals. Growth in therapidly developing clean energy technologies and their manufacturing industries drives increaseddemand for graduates trained in these areas. Clean Energy Education is the evolution oftraditional disciplines to educate candidates to meet the demand for technicians to support theglobal energy transition away from fossil fuels.

This stunned me for a few minutes when I read it, but then I remembermy parents buying a car in 1953 which had power windows! Many young people don’t realize howthings have changed over the past half-century. It is also true that many of our current facultymembers have not experienced the past half-century of engineering education. They have littleappreciation of the foundations of engineering education on which they must build the future. Weusually only publish our successes and few of our students and faculty members understand theimportance of learning from
