As a result, a plethora of schools use such courses and knowledgein the area is vast. For example, as of 1997 there were approximately 100 papers related toengineering design courses 1 and at the time of this writing, at least 150 papers were published.Several of these previous studies focus on student design projects involving real-world projects.Some

students) taking place in a computer lab. The pedagogicalphilosophy is traditional. Topics are introduced by the lead instructor, usually a professor, during lecture periods using theory and examples. Shortly after a topic is introduced it is featured in a lab session where a TA reviews the topic, provides additional examples, and in some cases demonstrates how to use statistical software (Minitab) to solve problems. A lab assignment is given at the end of each lab session that students complete in teams of two. The rationale for this approach is that after the lecture and lab sessions, students should be well- prepared for working through homework problems from the textbook on their own. The topical coverage of the course is more broad than deep

By implementing the backpack option, transportation of the cooler and the beveragesinside will be easier than it would be if it were the typical ice chest style cooler. This is achievedby being able to carry the bag on your back rather than in your hands, as well as the load of thebag being on your back rather than in your arms will reduce the strain..

The overall goal of the program is togenerate or sustain adolescents’ interest in engineering and technology and to enhance self-confidence and motivation toward education.

Based on the review inputsof the head of the institute, the department chairs, and some faculty members, the framework was enhanced.

good impression of what an engineer truly is.The art of engineering involves skills such as design, estimation, analysis, synthesis, andvisualization. The best way to learn the art of engineering is by doing engineering. This can beaccomplished by using plenty of hands-on activities. In fact, the most successful outreachprograms use mainly a hands-on approach1, 6, 7. Moreover, these programs have successfullyrecruited and retained women and minorities, as well as improved their attitude toward math andsciencee.g., 6, 7, 8.A very effective type of hands-on project has been labeled as a “Design, Build, and Test (DBT)Project.” DBT projects have been effectively used as an engineering and science tool for morethan 15 years.

Overall, SI is an effective tool to help students enrolled in engineering programs. Majorleaps in persistence can be made with relatively low cost.
