Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright ã 2002, American Society for Engineering EducationOne dilemma facing programs in technology is the expense of building and maintaining realisticlab facilities. Even in states with generous education resources, costs are making it ever harderto maintain Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) programs and lab capability onmultiple campuses. Arizona is typical in this regard. Three of the state’s community collegeshave well regarded SMT programs, but full-scale demonstration labs have been unaffordable.The absence of realistic lab training opens a steadily widening gap between the basic science andengineering taught in the academic world and the complex, expensive, and

In industry it is widely used as a tool for analysis,development and research. MATLAB integrates computation, visualization andprogramming in an environment that is easy to learn and use.From the point of view of its usage, MATLAB is mainly an interactive system. At thecommand line the user types statements expressed in familiar mathematical notation,and the system responds immediately with the solution of the request. For instance, tocreate a plot of the function t*sin(t) for the time interval 0 to 20 in steps of 0.05, wewould type

institutions that may not have graduate programs in an area toimmerse them into a research program at a research university and thus, increase their awarenessand interest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM) fields. Such undergraduate research experiences have been lauded as to their benefit toenriching undergraduate student experience in research and to further greatly impact theirinterest in graduate school. The REU program shares commonalities with project-based orproblem-based learning in that students were engaged in projects and involved in the process likeexisting members of a research group.Past research (e.g., [1], [2], [6 -13]) lauded undergraduate summer research programs for theirimpact on

A common desireof undergraduates in EE (and we suspect across engineering in general) is for more “hands-on”experiences. What little they get tends to be later in their college career; however, as the Do-It-Yourself (DIY)/Make culture continues to grow, more of our students are walking in the doorready and willing to “get their hands dirty” on

. Theevolution of learning technologies empowers the attainment of this goal more so today than inthe recent past. A further motivation is developing a model that can potentially impact the lack ofdiversity in the engineering profession. The demographic of community college students showsconsiderably more diversity than the engineering profession [11] and the new program makes anengineering education more accessible to community college students.The engineering development phase (EDP) takes place during the first semester for a cohort inthe Bell Program. That was the fall semester for Cohorts 1, 2, and 4 and the spring semester forCohort 3. There are many aspects to describing the model; relevant aspects to this researchpaper are described in the
