because of government financial support, reliability of the MOSIS brokeredfabrication technologies, and timeliness of the process. Although DARPA recently ended itslong standing support of MOSIS educational programs, NSF continues to provide funding forfabrication and packaging of student designed integrated circuits. Funding is based upon thenumber of enrolled students and covers fabrication of ICs of fixed sizes in two technologies.MOSIS concatenates the designs of multiple users into multi-product mask sets. These mask setsare sent to established commercial vendors using well characterized process controls.Consistency in fabrication is excellent. Students find that variations in the process technologyare held within strict tolerances. These

To improve minority representation in engineering and engineeringtechnology programs, institutions of higher education have used a number of approaches,such as the increase of visibility of the engineering profession, mentoring students, andacademic support [2]. Strategies to recruit and retain students include hands-onapproaches [3, 4], field trips [5, 6], summer workshops [7], and software trainingprograms [8].

First action was to examine the inherent correlationsbetween mobile ICTs and renewables, and second action was related to simulations. In thispaper, we’ll describe the lessons learned in the second endeavor, along with the softwareapplications.

One part of the instrument requires student teams to document (e.g., self-report) their designdecisions and processes while engaged in a design task. These written self-reports are scored using a rubric thathas demonstrated a high inter-rater reliability. We are interested in comparing the scores derived from these self-reports with measures of
