Theintegration of these systems sets aims to generate a dynamic system with the capability to evolveover time in order to respond to the dynamic issues and problems in both their present and futurestages.

Additionaldata show that the enrollment of students in STEM fields at Louisiana Tech is increasing at afaster rate from high schools who participate in STEM outreach projects developed by ISERC.IntroductionWhy is it so difficult to recruit students into STEM majors and subsequently retain them? This isone of the fundamental questions in engineering education currently, and will continue to be forthe foreseeable future. In 2005, the National Academies on Science, Engineering, and Medicinereleased their report on the “Gathering Storm1.” In 2010 they revisited the same topic and

To achieve thisgoal we targeted our first microprocessor course for improvement. This course required updatedpedagogy, instructional aids, equipment, software, and laboratory exercises. In effort to savemoney and provide design experiences for our students, we proposed having students design theprototype teaching aids for the course. Specifically, two undergraduate senior design students,Abbie Wells and Carrie Hernadez, would design a microprocessor laboratory platform for theirsenior design project. Also

be worth stress out at this point that many Universities offer this type of hands–onmicrowave projects to students. However, as the reader may be aware, the tools involved inexecuting this type of projects are primarily found in Universities with an established tradition ofgraduate and post–graduate research activities in the microwave area. These activities provide thenecessary know–how and funding to support a microwave laboratory, whose instruments alonecost in the tens of thousands of US dollars.

Not only is communication importantin terms of professional skills and accreditation, but also for the welfare of the public. Failures incommunication have been shown to be significant factors in some engineering disasters [3]. Ineducation, learning communication in the context of engineering helps students develop bothengineering thinking and an engineering identity [3]. For these reasons, and others well-grounded in research, communication is a student outcome that engineering programs need toassess to make sure that students are making progress and achieve this essential competency.The focus of this paper will be to evaluate the current

would probably be a long-term longitudinal study, taking lots of your time, but it would be worth it. In Table 3, it is not clear which method of teaching was used for the 1999 and 2002 classes (deductive and inductive, respectively?).ABSTRACTThis paper presents a method to teach several courses in engineering that will appeal to theinductive learner. A deductive learner prefers to proceed from general to specific, while aninductive learner prefers to proceed from specific to general. Studies have shown that inductionpromotes deeper learning and results in longer retention of the information to students.Induction, in many cases, is also the method in which the original material was discovered! Thisstyle of teaching is
