sound and practical solutions for facultygrowth. Moreover, using industry to meet the professional development needs of faculty is ahighly viable solution.5I. IntroductionThe half-life of an engineer’s technical skills - how long it takes for half of everything anengineer knows about his or her field to become obsolete - is strikingly short. According to theNational University Continuing Education Association, for mechanical engineers it is 7.5 years;for electrical engineers it is 5 years; for software engineers, a mere 2.5 years.6 Keeping in mindthe pace of change and growth since these estimates were developed almost 10 years ago, thesehalf-life figures are undoubtedly even shorter today. So as technological changes gain

In this case, a better understanding of the skills and behaviors and therating process was precipitated by a special class session on the importance of accuratepeer and self-assessment that was presented during the second course. By the thirdcourse, the student ratings are now founded on a more realistic base. Therefore studentsare able to assess their skill levels more accurately. Now if real learning occurs, the selfand peer ratings should reflect the increase level of competency. In our experiment, this isthe case across all three skills.References1. Durfee, W.K.

response to a national concern in the early 1990s about poor retention of students inengineering combined with a real, or some would say critical, need for more engineers, The OhioState University (OSU) worked with nine other schools to form the Gateway EngineeringEducation Coalition. This need for engineers was and currently is driven by society's ever-increasing consumption of technology. The Coalition, led by Drexel University, was establishedas a result of the creation of an Engineering Education Coalitions program by the NationalScience Foundation. These schools agreed to adopt or adapt Drexel's E4 program1-2 forfreshmen and sophomores which put engineering "up-front" and specifically included hands-onlabs and incorporated design projects

in meaningful learning [1].With the adoption of recent science standards (i.e., NGSS); teachers are faced with the task ofintegrating engineering design into their science instructions and making connections betweenScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in their instructions.This is partly daunting for elementary teachers, given their minimal preparation in engineering[3]. While STEM education is recognized by educators and research communities asimportant, there is no common understanding or agreement on the nature of STEM education asan integrated endeavor. Consequently, K-12 teachers have limited guidelines and teachingmodels to follow regarding how to teach integrated STEM [4].Without clear
