The Minority Male Makers (MMM) Program, directed by Morgan StateUniversity, in Baltimore has established a Maker community in Northeast Baltimore City thatallows middle school students and their teachers to develop science, technology, engineering,and mathematics skills while expressing their creativity. The long-term goal of this project is forparticipants to 1) create products using 3-D modeling software and 3-D printers, 2) developsoftware and embedded applications, 3) enhance computational thinking skills, and 4) pursuerelated entrepreneurial ventures. This effort is a partnership between the School of Engineeringand School of Education. Middle school teacher and student participants were

The Freshmen Academy Program was implemented inFall 2003 as a pilot program and continues today as a one semester, two credit hour seminarrequired for all freshmen engineering students. The Academies are divided into twelve sectionsin order to the keep the size of the actual section at no more than 35 students each. The FreshmenAcademies are designed to help freshmen learn about the overall importance of engineering, theethical implications of engineering decisions and understand how engineers affect society,technology, history and politics.

Calder’s training from theStevens Institute of Technology and his early work as an engineer serve as a balance andcompliment to his eventual development as an artist of mobiles 4, 5.Perhaps it is better to talk about the lightness and lyric of movement before talking aboutpragmatics in order for students to imagine the possibilities of form. The objective here is tohave industrial design and engineering students see the possibility of art in movement in orderthat art might always be an aspiration in the form of all design endeavors. We also strive here tohave the students discover that some intangibles such as poetry–dance–in movement areindispensable rather than extravagant, and that

Engineering Educationcommunication engineers capable of new ideas and implementing systems that arefeasible to maintain and operate is more relevant than ever. Often electrical engineeringcurriculums offer students one or two theoretical communication courses; however this isnot enough to train communications engineers in the proper background of the newertechnologies. The traditional courses and laboratories are focused on the foundations ofcommunications theory. The equipment needed to implement laboratories with thenewest technologies is expensive and changes constantly. This makes it difficult tocontinuously upgrade such laboratories. Consequently, employing a computer basedlaboratory with different software packages dedicated for communication

Taking advantage of the students’ penchant for diagrams, we graph theseconsequences along two axes and create four quadrants (Figure 1). In everyday life, engineersearn their keep by maximizing the positive intended consequences of a technological systemwhile minimizing the negative intended consequences (Quadrant I). If a technological systemhas unintended positive consequences, then these are often seen by society as a bonus, and theengineers are treated quite suitably as heroes or geniuses (Quadrant II). A third situation ariseswhen engineers recognize in advance that there are negative consequences, but proceed--often fora variety of reasons with their
