The program uses an innovative approach where faculty fromdifferent departments, including math, English, science, engineering and technology,work together to build curriculum and employ training pedagogies that work for thestudent population and improve students’ employability after graduation. MFET programfeatures cutting-edge technologies and modern practices such as rapid prototyping,computer integrated manufacturing, latest programmable logic control technology, leanmanufacturing and quality control techniques. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineeringand Math) skills are incorporated throughout the curriculum to improve students’employability skills and

and abstract.”1 While there has been progress in recent years, thereare still limited visual aids depicting actual equipment or industry settings. Even though thetopics covered often have a real-world basis they are generally simplified and only offer asuperficial impression of industry applications. This is especially true in the firstthermodynamics course which is theory heavy. The result is that many students have excessivedifficulty with the subject and do not develop a "feel" for the topic or the associated real-worldequipment 2,3. Felder et al. have summarized this best by stating that without student interest or abelief in the need to learn the material, a course “stimulates neither interest nor motivation tolearn.

However, studentperformance on future laboratory reports did not improve significantly, as had been anticipated.In other words, although students could clearly identify the strengths and the weaknesses oflaboratory reports written by others, this did not translate directly into an improvement in theirown reports. Future efforts will focus on using this experience not only to reduce student workload and enhance learning, but also on using the experience to help students improve their ownreporting skills.MotivationThe importance of technical communication skills for engineering graduates is clearlyrecognized1 and is emphasized in desired outcomes stated by departments, universities, andABET.

consensus that the decision to enter engineering occurs during highschool or early college, while the decision not to enter engineering occurs in the sixth to eighthgrades. Without effective outreach at this early level, the US will fall behind other developedcountries such as China and possibly India [2-5].The lack of effective outreach combined with the public’s limited perception of technology asbeing only “computers and matters related to the internet” [6] means that students will not beintroduced to engineering and design at an early enough age. Pre-engineering is not a subject onits own in public schools; however science, technology, and pre-engineering go hand-in-hand [7].Therefore, engineers must place outreach programs in existing subjects

In addition to simply presenting the work, the portfolio serves as aforum for assessing student learning and guiding intellectual development. At the U. S.

The Robotics of today imparts the mostimportant attributes such as the nature of motion, the motions available to rigid bodies and the useof kinematic constraints to organize motion. Because the growing field of Robotics covers manyareas of EET education we decided we would develop curriculum for an introductory course inRobotics.

Thefirst year engineering flipped class requires communication daily with teammates in an active learningenvironment. Multimodal communication is embedded into the class assignments through severalaudio/visual presentations, memos, and a final design project portfolio including engineering graphics, adrawing package, computational modeling, and a written report. Thus, communication skills come intoplay not only in their own right, but also as a vehicle for learning. ACT ELA
