Engineering Education, 2008 Evolution of an Engineering Technology Outreach ProgramAbstractOne element of Purdue University’s mission is to play a leadership role in strengtheningIndiana's economy and improving the qualifications of the state's workforce. One element of thestrategy to achieve this is to improve preparatory education through continuing engagement withPK-12 schools, with special emphasis on reading, writing, math, and science. Prior to 2004, theCollege of Technology in Columbus had little if any engagement with the local PK-12 schools.In an effort to initiate engagement, professors from the Organizational Leadership andSupervision and Mechanical Engineering Technology departments organized, submitted andreceived a grant from

discipline to effectivelydesign and implement complex real-time embedded systems. Thus, we felt that it was importantto first establish an interdisciplinary framework of structured courses for education in real-timeembedded system design [2]. One of the major goals of this new curriculum is to expose studentsto industrial and commercial quality implementations and bridge the gap between conceptualunderstanding and concrete implementations. After undergraduate and graduate students are ableto apply abstract knowledge in concrete implementations, subsequent higher-level, theory-oriented courses have more relevance.The same problem exists in elementary and middle schools where students lack an understandingof the connection between abstract mathematics

, mathematics, and technology curricula is the most direct and least complicated option, because implementation requires no significant changes in school structure. The main requirements would be (1) willingness on the part of teachers and (2) access to instructional materials. Ideally, teachers would also have a modicum of engineering pedagogical content knowledge to deliver the new material effectively. The ad hoc option is probably most useful for providing an introductory exposure to engineering ideas rather than a deep understanding of engineering principles and skills.”13Furthermore, the NAE report states that “. . . increasing the visibility of technology, and,especially, engineering in STEM education in

For example, an engineer might recognize that a particular architectural plan poses significant construction difficulties without having the expertise to devise improved construction or design alternatives.  Level 2 (Understanding) implies a thorough mental grasp and comprehension of a concept or topic. Understanding typically requires more than abstract knowledge. For example, an engineer with an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility should be able to identify and to

Universities in general do not promote professional development activities.While sabbaticals are part of the academic opportunity, very few faculty take advantageof this opportunity. With all these constraints universities need to develop programs thathelp their faculty advance professionally in all areas of their profession includingteaching, research, outreach/service and administration.

And the conventional academic perception portraying that the majority of technological developments arise from [Basic Research] → [Engineering] → [Technology] as a linear process resulting in the form of new/improved products, processes, systems, and operations is incorrect and is outmoded for ensuring economic growth

Research suggests hostile campus climates are associated withstudents of color leaving STEM fields before graduating. Such barriers can be more pronouncedfor WOC who often experience a “double bind” of race and gender marginalization whennavigating the STEM culture. Therefore, it is important that educators understand experiences ofWOC and what is needed to improve students’ experiences in order to minimize the performancegap in key indicators (e.g., retention, achievement and persistence).
