The initial search was conducted using common terms thatare already known to be associated with makers or that have similar meanings. These includemaker, hacker, tinkerer, DIY (do-it-yourself), and hobbyist. Some of these terms appeared in thecontext of a growing maker movement, but many were terms in common usage to describepeople as makers and the activities around making.MakerThe term maker, being the topic of the primary research project, was examined first.

theconcepts learned in class. This conventional way of learning is driven by the constraint inthe time of the lecture period and by the fact that the student should demonstrate his/herinterests for learning. However, the research literature suggests1 “that students must do more than justlisten. They must read, write, discuss, or be engaged in solving problems. Most importantto be actively involved, students must engage in such higher-order thinking tasks asanalysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Within this context, it is proposed that strategiespromoting active learning be defined as instructional activities involving students indoing things and thinking about what they are doing.” Basically, it is suggested that the lecture time be

higher motivation and maturity scores.The data collected appear to indicate that students with Co-Op experience are more mature thanstudents without Co-Op experience. However, the statistical distributions of motivation scoresare similar for both groups and it appears that for the population studied there is no differencebetween the two groups. Two explanations for the lack of correlation between motivation andCo-Op experience are that 1)the test used to measure motivation cannot discriminate the changefor the age and circumstances of the study and 2)the experiment design must be refined toincrease randomization and to eliminate confounding variables. Additional research isrecommended to validate the model proposed.IntroductionCo-Op education is

Educational research has showed that if information isconveyed to the students in a combination of text, color, graphics, animation, sound, movingpictures, and a degree of interactivity, the interactive multimedia approach may result in a significantincrease in retention, improvement in the learning rate and active learning process3-5.

The first quarter of the course was focused on team building, problem definitionand conceptual design. Students conducted background research and determined the engineeringrequirements and specifications that defined the engineering problem to be solved. Studentswere encouraged to foster their creativity and generate as many solutions as possible. They usedconceptual models and decision schemes to narrow their solutions and developed projectschedules to monitor and ensure completion by the end of the course. At the end of the firstquarter, students performed conceptual design reviews and provided documentation of

Many tenure-track professors in the UnitedStates are evaluated heavily on their research contributions to the university, but for otheruniversities, quality instruction is a top priority.What is quality instruction? ASCE ExCEEd Teaching workshops define “good teaching” basedon the ExCEEd (Excellence in Civil Engineering Education) Teaching Model1. The six mainfocus areas of the teaching model include; structured organization, engaging presentation,enthusiasm, positive rapport with students, frequent assessment of student learning, andappropriate use of technology.

limited to taking on jobs that aresimpler in nature and do not require employees capable of multitasking. In the long-run,the company will not be able to compete effectively due to the engineering staffs’ lack ofinnovative ideas and necessary knowledge to implement those ideas. Sustainedtechnological innovation is widely regarded as vital to the success of manufacturingcompanies.According to Holzer2, economic research indicates that employers more than ever areseeking a higher level of cognitive skills (such as reading and writing ability, andcomputer skills) from less-educated workers. New developments, the growingcompetitiveness of product markets, and the growing role of technology in many settings,has changed what employers need from their
