Even in states with generous education resources, costs are making it everharder to maintain Microelectronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT)programs and lab capability on multiple campuses. Arizona is typical in this regard. Three ofthe state’s community colleges have well regarded SMT programs, but full-scale demonstrationlabs have been unaffordable. The absence of realistic lab training opens a steadily widening gapbetween the basic science and engineering taught in the academic world and the complex, Page 10.446.3 Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual

courseIntroductionWith the widespread increase of use of composite materials in manufacturing it has becomealmost mandatory to teach courses related to these in engineering schools worldwide. Compositematerials are manufactured with various matrix materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers.Out of these, polymers are being reinforced with fibers widely to manufacture composites. Thesecomposites are manufactured not only with specific mechanical and chemical properties foraviation and aerospace sectors but also for general use such as in sports goods, fluid containersand conduits, and vehicles for land and water transport. Thus, most of the courses1,2,3,4,5 taught atthe undergraduate level in material based programs focus on teaching about
content of the subjects they teach. Aparticular challenge in a graduate program for secondary mathematics and science teachers ishow to provide teacher candidates with subject matter content, on a graduate level, that does notreplicate undergraduate courses.The School of Education and School of Engineering at University of Bridgeport designed theEDMM 600D- STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for TeacherEducators course for students of the School of Education. Designed course uses audio and imageprocessing techniques and technologies to teach fundamental STEM concepts to secondary pre-and in- service mathematics and science teachers.

They can be very useful in teachingbehavior, carrying out preliminary design, and checking software output for reasonableness. Inwhat can be considered a paradigm shift, today’s young engineers are themselves no longer theprimary producers of numerical solutions. They are increasingly users and managers of powerfulsoftware which carry out nearly all computationally-intensive tasks. We have also largely passedthrough a second stage computational maturity when engineers more often needed to preparecomputer programs to carryout analysis and sometimes design. In the

It has been argued that museum educators should be engaged in professionaldevelopment opportunities that are “in situ” [23-24], encourage questioning, active participation,and experimentation [20, 25], and require a long-term commitment [20].Through this NSF funded project, we addressed these needs by adapting, implementing, andrefining a professional development program for productively attending, interpreting, andresponding to youths’ experiences with failure while engaged in engineering design challenges ininformal learning contexts through video-based reflections.

To do this, the authorsof this paper formed a working group and designed the course based on their combinedexperience in industry. Once the course was designed, the best tool for the course had to beselected. Requirements for this tool were two fold. The tool needed to be state of the art, and thetool needed to fit the overall pedagogy of the program. For these reasons,SolidWorks/CosmosWorks package was
