In a recent interview, an instructor from a Florida Advanced ManufacturingState College program said that “we have scholarships from the local lumber company for localhigh school students to take these courses and receive a degree for free, and I can never fill all ofthe slots they give us [8].” Similarly, the Manufacturing Leadership Council [9] announced thatAmericans still believed that manufacturing was vital to the country’s economy, but that the vastmajority “still wouldn’t

overall objective of this project was to develop abetter understanding of where electrical energy was being used across the campus and to findcost-effective ways to help reduce electricity consumption and associated electric bills. “We arefinding it more and more necessary to develop methods for cutting down on the energyconsumed by our University. As we continue to expand our impact on the environment becomesmore and more pronounced. Being part of an effort to save energy will leave a lasting experiencethat we can hold onto.” –Pat, Jim, Sarah, Dona “The energy team”Approach The first step of the project was to determine which buildings were the largest consumersof electric power on campus.

Furthermore, colleges of engineering cannotjust be a stop on the educational assembly line which takes decreasing numbers of high-schoolstudents with widely varied levels of preparation, provides them with an academic exposure totheory and then graduates them to be trained, as needed, by their employer. Students must beeducated to be life-long-learners, and industry and the university must become constant andpersistent collaborators in this process. This will require universities to rethink the educationalparadigms which have shaped engineering education for the last half century.5 PBL is oneapproach that provides a solution to improving the education of incipient engineers on campusand engineers on the
