Since about 70 percent of Americans are past the school age, updating theirtechnological literacy requires access to opportunities outside of formal education. Youngergenerations have yet to develop their technological skills and interests, but opportunities for thatin a structured, pre-college education are limited.

The first semesterconcentrates on developing Project Management skills. Up to the senior year, most of thestudents meet the requirements of the program through technical training and work on electivesas allowed in the program structure. The “softer” engineering skills do not tend to be part of theprocess.Project Management is taught in three segments through the semester that leads to the capstoneproject. First, students are introduced to overall project management concepts such as projectsuccess, organizational structure, and team work. Second, students learn basic information oncost estimation

It also evaluates, to a certain degree, the students’ confidence intheir understanding by asking the students to provide three answers to each question (assuming amultiple choice format).

One major goal of this activity is to provide students at MSU with practicalmanufacturing experiences beyond what could be made available at such a teaching school, andto serve as a model for other similar collaborations. Through this experience, MSU students (pri-marily undergrads) were able to work as part of a large research team, and learn from the researchexperience of the graduate students at UM.

AbstractFor years, professionals in Engineering Education have struggled with the need to recruit more and better preparedstudents into fields related to engineering. Recently, there has been a push to develop pre-engineering programs forpublic secondary education programs that will help with the recruitment and provide high school students with theneeded background for success as an engineering student. Many disciplines have initiatives related to this newtrend in public education, but with limited success, as it is so new to states curricula.
