Commencing in 2000, the USLP has made36 placements, at 21 sites (including 2 international sites) in 12 organizations and across 7engineering disciplines. The success of this program lies with the alignment of learningobjectives to work tasks.MotivationDuring the 1990s there was a sustained global debate about the nature of engineering education,the most significant review since the engineering science revolution transformed engineeringeducation in the 1950's and 1960's. In the US, the outcome was a restructuring of theaccreditation process for undergraduate programs. The resultant ABET 2000 criteria have causeda fundamental shift to focus accreditation on

systematic involvement of students in the LTT experience can transform themfrom being passive recipients into active learners thus preparing them for a life-long self-learningexperience.IntroductionTraditional engineering education relies heavily on a passive classroom lecture approach.Studies1,2 have shown that students learn much better when active learning strategies are used. Inthe conventional learning setting many students, especially incoming freshmen, feel left out ofthe process and are not able to reach their true potential. In light of this, we believe that a majorshift in the current educational mode is essential, whether it is mandated from outside or emergesfrom inside. Though the overall philosophy of fostering an active learning
