The lack of preparation for comprehensive coursework andclassroom experience hindered Participant A from succeeding at the four-year institution.Further lack of academic support and community prompted this student to reverse transfer.Transferring to a program that holistically supports Participant A made them feel more sociallycomfortable and academically supported. “I felt like I was welcomed to the college and to theprogram” Participant A shares that they would “start at the community college” if they couldstart over.

To facilitate simultaneous access of multiple student users, sixadditional PCs are included in the cell. The PMSP cell and all necessary equipment are setup atall of the participating schools.In this two week long program, students from University of Michigan, introduce basic conceptsof manufacturing, computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), andsimple computer programming to middle and high school students by using a series of modules.Building upon these skills, the students learn how to use a robot and a milling machine.

Another advantage is that students will have a professional designportfolio that can be presented to prospective employers. Second, the design project is taught usingthe just-in-time learning paradigm. By focusing on real-world applications up front, students areinterested and motivated to learn. Third, courses are being restructured to incorporate collaborativelearning and group presentations, which enhances the students’ interpersonal and communicationskills.

In addition, the policy of forcedindustrialization required engineers capable to introduce and usehigh technologies. In time, the most talented young people choseto study in a technical university, as they desired to do scienceand research more freely from political constraints. As aconsequence, a large part of the best human resources is nowamong the graduates of technical universities, constituting avaluable potential that can be retrained with minimum effort andexpenses.

. Introduction Often non-electrical engineers and technologists find themselves using Operationalamplifiers (Op-amps). This occurs because electronic instrumentation has become verypervasive, specially with the proliferation of the PC. The approach presented in this paper ishelpful to someone who is attempting to understand the Op-amp’s transfer characteristics. It isassumed that the individual has had a basic electrical science course and an understanding offeedback control. This approach has some advantages over the classical method used inelectronic classes, aimed at electrical engineering/engineering technology students. Further, it isalso insightful to students with an electronics background, even though they have the skills tounderstand the

In her address, Jamieson said: "We have to askourselves, will graduates have the attributes and skills that they need for careers over the next 40 years?"What makes this question even more thought provoking for engineering educators is the fact thataccording to some academic estimates, the half-life of engineering knowledge is between two to sevenyears, which means that by the time one graduates, half of what it was learned in the first years may ormay not be relevant. One other factor educators need to take into consideration when designing theirprograms is the fact that new technologies requiring multidisciplinary skills are an integral part of theprofessional practice, and they
