During its first year the program attracted 42 faculty(of which 3 were from Engineering) from across all colleges in the university. Insubsequent academic years (from 1997-1998 through 2000-01) similar numbers of facultyparticipated, some in new groups, and some in groups that continued for multiple years.The OpportunityThe study group program, as originally conceived by Wildman et al.,1 has a number ofimportant strengths when seen from the perspective of engineering education

In industry, new-product development (NPD) requiresattention to detail at the individual project, business, and systems level to create a successfulproduct launch [2], whereas university engineering design courses tend to focus on the individualproject level. Cooper’s [2] NPD success drivers often reflect the type of skills that are a focus inCBE. For individual new-product projects, overlapping concepts include voice-of-the-customer,pre-work, definition, and iterations. Building in the voice-of-the-customer may involve marketresearch for businesses, whereas

The problem underlines the value of the work undertaken byKrupczak and his colleagues in clarifying these terms as a basis for philosophical discussion.Krupczak et al in their justification of the development of programs in engineering andtechnological literacy write that since “engineering concepts are pervasive in decisionmaking within industry, government, education, health care” every citizen should be exposedin their education “to the central ideas and principles underlying our technological society”[1].

To address the hole in theroof of the gasifier, the students brainstormed different concepts on how to patch the roof. Fromthis brainstorming session, the students wrote up a protocol that SAIC used as a basis forrepairing the roof. The students also wanted to make it easier to load trash into Old Blue. Theydecided that instead of manipulating the door of the gasifier with a forklift, a swinging door onhinges would be better. Students made conceptual drawings of the hinged door and foundsuppliers for hinges that could support between 6,000 and 20,000 lbs. Finally, the studentsexplored

Although there is risinginvolvement in these programs, students participating are still a small, self-selected group (comprisedmostly of those already showing an interest in science and math). In addition, since these programs donot exist in all communities, they do not always reach minorities and girls. Furthermore, they are oftentargeted to high school and middle school students. Studies, however, show that most kids are turned offto science and math before they reach middle school. Putting kids on an earlier track to engineeringmay help reverse the trend

Many collegesof engineering, especially those with an urban mission, have recognized that a poor preparationin math and science reduces their students’ chance for success in an undergraduate engineeringprogram.
