into the program’s quality but does little to address studentpreparedness for program study. A lack of preparedness often results in weaker performance andreduces persistence in the program.The Introduction to Engineering course questionnaire provided some insight on skills lacking forprogram success. In response to the student performance, the course has increased application ofSI units in problem solving, interpreting nonlinear relationships from a graph, and estimation ofexpected results. Possible over reliance on technology may have the result of reduced intuition ofphysical relationships and estimation of quantities, both of which are vital for gross errordetection. As such, course material includes use of quantity magnitudes to

Application of mathematical techniques is however necessary to produce meaningful results and to convey a better understanding of engineering subjects to students.Electrical Engineering is now a discipline that is fast evolving, shifting from thetraditional subjects, power engineering, electronics and communications, to a broadcategory of knowledge known as information technologies, and

The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the

However,during this time, increasing employment of engineers in service industries, research anddevelopment, and consulting should generate most of the employment growth [1].The 2015 National Science Foundation’s Survey of Graduate Students and Post-doctorates inscience and engineering [2] found that from 2008 to 2013 STEM graduate students in the U.S.who were U.S. citizens or permanent residents rose 3.1%.

The E-Team servesas an interdisciplinary bridge crossing over barriers between traditional disciplines (suchas engineering, business and liberal arts) and between the business and academiccommunities. It is intended to serve as a flexible, open model and a source of new ideasrather than a doctrine.
