provide some anecdotes to give the flavor of unexpected challenges thatinevitably arose during contest operations and how the contest’s design allowed them to be met.The overarching goal of the WPBDC is to increase awareness of and interest in engineeringamong a large, diverse population of middle and high school students. As described in our earlierwork,2 its motivation is to attract young students of the United States to careers in engineering,math, and science in order to mitigate projected national shortfalls in the future. This leads tomore specific goals, which are that each contestant should: • Learn about engineering through a realistic, hands-on problem-solving experience. • Learn about the engineering design process—the application

Their ideas and processes appearinnovative but the general effectiveness of these pedagogical practices is unknown sinceonly anecdotal evidence is provided on star student performers.

An understanding of the need for lifelong learning. 6. An ability to provide effective and skillful leadership.A variety of topics fit under the broad umbrella of these attributes. One key topic that hasproven to be extremely useful to engineers is an understanding of how their careers willdevelop in today's organizations. With flatter organizational structures, opportunities forupward advancement have decreased and more emphasis has been placed on efficiency andcustomer-satisfaction. These changes in organizations have modified career development forthe engineers that

To aid in producing scientists and engineers to fulfill STEM jobs, it is important tounderstand how the experiences of college students, particularly racial minority students, maydivert them from persisting in STEM fields. For many racial minority students, the transition into college can be challenging, fraughtwith many issues ranging from social and academic isolation, encountering negative attitudesand behaviors, and fears of fulfilling stereotypes 8,9. The consequences of these issues are grave:social and academic isolation and lack of support in particular, can detrimentally impact minoritystudents’ academic performances 10,11. Mentoring has been viewed as an effective deterrent tocombat the isolation

This is as itshould be, but is it possible that the field of design engineering might lend insight and wisdomback to the humanities? If engineering design principles are so helpful in unraveling themysteries of biology, might they also be useful in the social sciences? These are just some of thequestions being posed in an engineering elective course at Oral Roberts University (ORU),where undergraduate students wrestle with advanced concepts in reverse engineering.

This is being done at the risk ofencroaching on the time available for the students to engage in the design-build-test process thatembodies the “capstone” nature of the course. Risk analysis, however, is viewed as a valuabletool that can save time if things go wrong.The main components of risk analysis are identification, analysis, and mitigation. Students areasked to identify several risk items that are critical to achieving MOP thresholds or baselinesbased on uncertainty (lack of technical knowledge, parts availability, scheduling pressures, etc.).for each item, they are to ask “What is the likelihood the situation or circumstance will happen?”and assign a probability value
