Bycompleting such projects, students enhance their abilities to apply knowledge ofmathematics, science, and engineering (3a); analyze and interpret data (3b); design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs (3c); function on multi-disciplinary teams (3d); identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (3e);communicate effectively (3g); and use

weeks. Background: On day one of my Engineering 101 class, I introduce myself as the CEO of afictitious company, Dangerous Toys LLC. The company mission is to “develop toys thatencourage Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in children.” The company visionis to “enable children of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities to engage in STEM ininnovative and fun ways.” Each class is assigned a toy they must build, which meets specificcriteria. These toys are fairly simple, like mouse trap cars, rock skippers, trebuchets, pressurerockets, or hot air balloons. The differences between these projects, and something typical HighSchool students may do, are the specific criteria students must meet, and the engineeringprocesses they

While theliterature suggests that better classroom organization is effective in reaching students, educatorsmust also realize that many different learning styles and preferences are represented by thestudents in our classes. Centering the class on an advanced technology or a theme, such as aplant trip or life cycle assessment, can help us better reach the students.

The EAB Navigate platform was a pivotaltool in our efforts, intended to integrate student data for targeted support and interventions.Despite challenges, particularly with early detection and intervention for at-risk students, theproject has demonstrated the constructive role of technology when combined with thementorship from faculty and support staff.

New principles of learning and instruction highlight the need to engage students in thoughtfuluse of knowledge. However, engaging individual engineering students in large classroomssimultaneously can be challenging. Technology such as classroom communication systemsencourages students to apply conceptual ideas during class, by allowing them to respond toquestions using hand held devices, and by displaying an aggregate of responses to the instructorand/or the class.
