inAssistive Technology and Engineering (ELeVATE).Students are active participants and innovators in projects which address real-world problemswith systems-level engineering efforts, serving as a natural attractor to the discipline. Facilitatingthe programs collaboratively is in itself a best practice; it allows for an enhanced cohort, peer-to-peer mentoring, and maximization of resources for a sustainable training program designed toincrease the retention and promotion of underrepresented undergraduates in STEM disciplines.Though ELeVATE will only begin in the summer of 2011, its foundations are deep rooted in thesuccess of QoLT’s REU program which has advanced underrepresented students through theSTEM pipeline and delivered a promising model

According to The Engineerof 2020, the U.S. will not sustain its leadership and share of jobs in high-tech professionsunless engineering education content and methods adjust to meet the demands of theworkplace (NAE, 2004).

. Abstract Lab-based courses are generally not available in an online format because of the need forexpensive lab equipment, time consuming technical assistance and troubleshooting. The recentincrease in demand for online instruction extends past current pedagogical methods and is mademore problematic with the addition of a lab component. As part of our initial research, insummer 2010 we implemented an online course by slightly modifying an existing on-campuscourse. Through this exploration, we collect student and staff feedback that will allow us tofurther develop an innovative pedagogical framework specifically tailored for engineeringstudents in an online environment.
