In 1992, ABET President John Prados5 calledfor a paradigm shift in engineering education, noting that while the post-war paradigm shift toengineering science was sorely needed to meet the technological challenges of the day, it leftengineers unprepared for the present-day needs of industry: Few would argue that the engineering science emphasis has not produced graduates with strong technical skills. However, these graduates are not nearly so well prepared in other skills needed for success in today's engineering practice and in the development and management of innovative technology; these include: (1) oral and written

Structuring the experience during four days and scheduling field trips on Fridays allowed graduate student mentors to have a day in the lab to focus on their work without supervising high school students. 2. During the first year, we found that students needed explicit support in writing. We added multiple workshops in the afternoons that guided students in technical writing. We also had program teachers read drafts and provided feedback, which reduced the demand on the graduate student mentors. 3. We added explicit instruction on the elements of
