colleges have small engineering programs with only a few faculty,often only one or two. Each instructor has high teaching loads of four or more courses persemester. Faculty have little time for course or laboratory development. There is limitedlaboratory support staff and budgets to buy and maintain equipment. While many communitycolleges exist, the relentless teaching demands on the faculty, and geographic separation tend toresult in community college engineering faculty working in a state of relative isolation. Anyeffort to attract students into engineering through community colleges must contend with thesechallenges.Topics Cited as Appealing by Non-Engineering StudentsBased on experience from technological literacy courses for non-engineers

The principlepedagogy employed for the laboratory portion of the course is a modified jigsaw approach tocooperative learning 22. In this approach, the class is broken down into groups of four and eachmember takes turns learning a lesson from the instructor and then teaching it to the rest of theirgroup.The group then completes a design based exercise on the lesson. Group scores are used aspart of the overall student assessment. Because the modified jigsaw strategy requires that theinstructor meet with only 1/4 of the students for each laboratory lesson, hands-on

In addition, in an environment where theemphasis is on instruction, taking on research students in addition to a heavy teaching load canbe quite daunting to faculty.Another threat to research at a community college is the push for courses to be transferrable.Most four-year engineering schools have not
