University butacross the nation. According to the Department of Education [1] STEM majors account for only14% of all undergraduates, in addition, an alarming 56% of students who declare a STEM majorin their freshman year do not graduate with a degree in a STEM field. The low percentage ofretention of students in engineering programs throughout the United States is a growing concernfor Universities and engineering programs nation-wide causing them to reevaluate theirprograms and implement strategies to offset low retention rates. These statistics raise concernand a demand for implementation of freshman year experience programs that focus on retentionto encourage students to graduate in STEM fields. Due to these low retention rates, in the fall of2014
educational system moreefficient as well as more productive. As part of this more global effort, Florida implemented astatewide transferable Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in 2000 for twelve (12) career fields.Previously, the A.S. degree was considered to be a terminal degree and a course of study where astudent could obtain significant workplace skills in a particular discipline with only the mostnecessary supporting general education requirements. The paradigm shift to define A.S. degreesas transferable also outlined the criteria for the community colleges to define Associate inApplied Science (A.A.S.) degree as a terminal degree.Most of the community college program and degree programs have been restructured, and effortsare beginning
to the success of an engineer, but generallylacking in new engineering graduates. These attributes include • strong skills in communication and persuasion • the ability to lead and work effectively as a member of a team • a sound understanding of non-technical forces that affect engineering decisions • an awareness of global markets and competition • demonstrated management skills and a strong business senseThis list of attributes clearly identified the educational objectives defining the Enterprise Pro-gram. Many of these skills and expertise are not easily taught within a traditional classroom set-ting. In fact most, if not all, of these abilities are best developed in practice.

to SpatialVisualization (SV) training specifically in the area of providing feedback hints to students whenperforming freehand sketching exercises on touchscreen devices.SV is the ability to visualize and manipulate 2D and 3D shapes in one’s mind. This skill has beentied to success in many careers, yet this skill is undertaught or not typically taught in most K-12and engineering curricula. A seminal study by Sorby [1] showed that SV skills can be taught andcan result in a significant increase in GPAs and graduation rates. 7000 students were tracked forover 15 years showing similar results [2]. The increase in graduation rates is especiallysignificant for women and other underrepresented minorities in STEM [3], who may have hadless experience

We are gratified to learn that some of our graduating seniorshave complemented the Helmholtz resonator project as a very useful hands-on activity. Thisproject provides scope for further research regarding the resonator materials and fabricationtechniques. In fall of 2010 the students will get an opportunity to work with a local metallurgicalcompany. Our students highly appreciate the interactive demonstration of the dynamic balancingof rotors. Currently we have two tests, a final exam, the resonator project and the industrial visitfor credit in Vibration.

These ways include (1) broaden and generalize, (2) crossover, (3)question conventional wisdom, (4) back of the envelope, (5) expanding dimensions, (6) removalof constraints, and (7) the systems approach. The final issue involves carrying these notions intoeducation approaches to the engineering design. Examples are provided that demonstrate andexplore how these innovative approaches have been used and how they might be expanded.THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS Engineers have been designing systems for a very long time. Accordingly, we have studied thedesign process itself for many years. A relatively recent way to describe that process is toconfirm that it is, or should be, a distinctly two step procedure

Prior to each class period, the students were accountable forstudying the module and completing the quiz over the module. They could study the module bywatching pre-recorded lectures, reading the sections in the book identified in the module slides,reviewing the slides, researching the learning objective on the internet, or all of these.In-class activities: During class, the students worked on in-class problems that were turned in atthe end of the class. The 50-minute section did two in-class problems while the 75-minutesection did three. The students were encouraged to

the curriculum, with the goal ofincreasing student motivation to study engineering. This has led to the development of problem-based freshman engineering courses2,4-9, including the EGR 190 Fundamentals of Engineeringcourse here at WSU. Such courses are typically designed to give students a broad, application-based introduction to the various engineering disciplines, so that they can begin to appreciatewhy they must endure the rigor of their subsequent engineering curricula. As might be expected,this can have a significant impact on early retention of incoming students. For example,researchers at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne have recently publishedquantitative data directly relating increased retention to enrollment in
