missions dependsheavily on advances in the nation’s technology base.Previous WorkThe precursor for the “Landsharks to Astronauts” program was the “Heads in the Game” programfor STEM Outreach, Research and Education [19]. Heads in the Game was an innovative, first ofits kind program for Athletics and STEM education. Sixteen scholars, including 6 girls and 9 fromhigh schools representing impoverished areas, learned coding, biomedical engineering, and healthand sports performance skills. The objective of the program was to leverage the growing awarenessof concussions in athletics with the passion for sports in Mississippi to motivate and inspire youthin STEM fields, and create a culture of awareness of STEM opportunities in the scholar’scommunity

. Introduction Freshman and Sophomore level courses with laboratories usually contain demonstrations or a set ofexercises with a fixed time, defined objectives, and predictable results. Although this is practical and effectivein many areas of science and engineering, the tradeoff is a limitation in promoting the creative ability ofstudents. Encouraging creativity to identify opportunities for improvement and to find solutions to problems isimportant in manufacturing automation because the rapid changes in new technology can make new solutionspossible and feasible. Traditionally, open-ended problems and design projects are gradually introduced in the curriculum, 6][7]with larger concentration in

Through this, theyengaged in collaborative lesson study, studying videotapes of their lessons with one another andengineering faculty with the goal of improving their instructional practices with STEM contentfoci. This follow-up lesson study approach is a proven form of teacher self-study guided byexperts, and science literacy professional development. The teachers’ lessons were aligned withthe national Next Generation Science Standards, which focus on bringing engineering problemsolving to America’s K-12 classrooms.The programs’ outcome goals were: • To increase middle and high school teachers’ knowledge of computationally focused science and engineering technologies; • To increase teachers’ disciplinary pedagogic competence in

It should also be noted that the lowest performing student (low score of 18) was inGroup B. It is possible that the Group B (trial) students expected the technology of the websiteto do more of the homework for them, and that the traditional Group A results were more in linewith the expectations of the homework grading rubric.

various key VR concepts. Thebook also seemed more student-friendly than the Burdea and Coiffet [2] textbook (also publishedin 2003). The VR course was first offered in 2014. Originally, the labs were based on C++,OpenGL, and Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). In 2015 the labs revolved around ahaptic device, the Phantom Omni by SenSable Technologies Inc. that was donated to theDepartment of Engineering. At the end of 2015, the department purchased an EON Reality IcatcherVR system. The first set of labs with this system was offered in Fall 2016. The EON Reality systemincluded a book [3] describing the software in detail. While informative, the book was threeversions behind the current software version (many examples described in the book did

They used these tools to generate and analyze data, observegraphic representations of the data, and construct and interact with simulations.To assess the innovations introduced into this course, we conducted pre- and post-tests on dy-namics content in the Interactive sections and in the control (traditionally taught, lecture-style)sections of the course. Additionally, we collected data for other learning objectives congruentwith ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology) 2000 Criteria, e.g., teamwork,problem solving, communications, and computer skills.

Copyright ©2003, American Society for Engineering Education We believe that PBL can be effectively implemented in engineering curricula. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) considers the following to beamong the 11 required outcomes attained by engineering graduates [2]: ability to engage in life-long learning; ability to work in multidisciplinary teams; ability to identify, formulate and solveengineering problems; and ability to consider the ethical and social dimensions of engineeringsolutions. These outcomes are those that prove most difficult for engineering faculty to achieve inthe standard curriculum. Our approach is to combine improvement in these ABET-related processskills with the learning of critical
cognitions, offering a promising approach tomeasuring the cognitive processes underlying complex performance. REFERENCES[1] Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. (2000).
