to develop with the OU students teaching Kumon, Pontiacteachers began to assist in grading Kumon worksheets or keeping the children on task. The pilot project served to give Pontiac school district administrators a good look atKumon’s methodology, and provided some preliminary evidence of its efficacy. It alsodemonstrated Oakland University’s commitment. In May 2002, school administrators(including the Superintendent), university faculty, and Kumon staff visited SumitonElementary/Middle School in Sumiton, near Birmingham, Alabama to observe theKumon program being implemented during regular school hours. Sumiton has been using the Kumon-developed mathematics curriculum for all of itsK-5 students during the first period of each day for
saving time, consistency ofaccess, inspired students, and family involvement. If you have tried to call a high school andreach the principal or faculty members, you are aware of how hard it is to develop a line ofcommunication. High schools often times just do not have the infrastructure to support extraphone calls, or community outreach partnerships. Many times you will have to call a teacher athome in the evenings to discuss a project or program.All of the academic enrichment programs I have worked with have staff members that answerthe phone. The organizations are easily accessible to anyone in an engineering departmentbecause they can be located in the phone book or on the web. One is able to work directly withthe organization’s president or

learning situations and problem-solving mathematically is a preferred and effectivemethod for engineering students.Despite the obvious fit that biomedical engineering programs and quantitatively-basedphysiology courses seem to make, quantitative courses in physiology are still quite rare.Biomedical engineering is a relatively young discipline. Undergraduate programs are in variousstates of development and a common core curriculum is still evolving. Many programs havelimited resources and faculty to teach their own departmental physiology courses. Takingadvantage of more qualitatively-oriented physiology courses is an economic necessity.Structuring Physiology Course ContentOrganizing course content requires at least two decisions – what topics to

interviews have been conducted at companies across thecountry (support NSF-PEER, Award Number 1935674). These interviews have focused onmanufacturing-centric companies, specifically asking about current work force development.From initial qualitative interview results, an aspect of GD&T or engineering design had 84occurrences throughout these interviews. Many interviewees, were engineers within companies,stating that GD&T is currently lacking from the skillsets of engineers. There is a need to improveGD&T curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as within the current workforce.This paper discusses the development of a three-tiered instructional framework to teach coreGD&T concepts to undergraduates, graduates and

Courses Across Transfer InstitutionsAbstractThis work in progress compares perspectives of engineering faculty at a state community collegesystem (SCCS) and faculty at a public postsecondary institution in the college of engineering(COE) around first-year engineering (FYE) course delivery and equivalency across transferprograms. Community colleges that can develop transferable FYE courses allow students tomeet prerequisites and follow a path similar to non-transfer students, thereby addressing sometime-to-degree concerns associated with the transfer pathway. Although these courses aretheoretically equivalent according to the articulation agreement, the setting, student population,and resources are not always similar across programs, and therefore
