from the sites helps to build a robust andeffective learning environment that an individual instructor would struggle to create on theirown.The success of the PREP program in attracting students to STEM disciplines (99% of PREPstudents attend college) and preparing them for the rigor of those disciplines (45% of PREPcollege graduates majored in STEM) is due in part to the integration of engineering designprojects with classroom learning. Each year students participate in a yearlong engineeringdesign project that culminates in the summer program and in smaller weekly design projectsduring the seven week summer program. The integration of the projects with the course learningmotivates and engages students and helps them see the relevance of the

U.S. One common theme of the responses was that there wasconsiderable interest in including failure case studies in courses, and that there was a lack ofavailable materials suitable for classroom use. 16,19 As a result, considerable effort has been putby TCFE into developing case study materials suitable for classroom use.The use of case studies is also supported by the latest pedagogical research. From Analysis toAction 19refers on page 2 that textbooks lacking in practical examples is an emerging weakness.This source refers specifically to breadth of understanding, which may be achieved through casestudies. Another issue addressed 19 (p. 19) is the need to “incorporate historical, social, andethical issues into courses for engineering

Although more advanced than our needs,graduate programs such as that at Wayne State University7 were also surveyed. Many of theseprograms offered technician certification or emphasized alternative energy. In response to thetribal college desires, we designed a six-course curriculum with coverage of both alternative andtraditional energy sources as well as skill sets (general mathematics, general science, andtopographic surveying) that the unique set of tribal students need.The first course requested by the Tribal colleges was a land surveying course, as there was animmediate need for mapping of tribal lands and resources and

The researcher was developing an agenda to understand how learners outsideof formally credentialed engineering settings could best develop solutions to theircommunity’s problems. Given this alignment, the two groups were well-placed for a smallinternal university-funded seed grant, which led to their co-design of the first version of thecurriculum.

. In the past, a typical student graduating with ahigher-level degree in science and engineering would have little or no exposure to businessprinciples. The result has been a workforce entrant that has no preparation for many of tasks thatthey are expected to perform. By far the majority of such graduates will enter industry positionswhere they are involved in product development and support, as opposed to research anddevelopment. Understanding business objectives and how to work effectively as a team memberare critical aspects of product development and support.Creating a successful program requires integration of a number of factors.

Thus Leadership training is the primary focus, withEngineering as the qualifier for the type of leaders being trained. The premise of our LeadershipEngineering program is that the profession will attract future leaders (as is the case of many otherprofessions that require post-graduate professional training, such as medicine and law), and theprogram is designed to produce engineers out of those future leaders. Thus it is a broad-based,liberal engineering program for future leaders in the public and private sectors.Therefore we have
