Through real classroom interactions inelementary, middle and high schools, graduate engineering Fellows successfully bridgeengineering subject-area content to age-appropriate education pedagogy. Supported by NationalScience Foundation (NSF) and Department of Education (DOE)1 grants, the Integrated Teachingand Learning (ITL) Program has developed extensive and innovative hands-on engineeringcurricula focused on topics universal to K-12 science, technology and math classes.Graduate engineering Fellows are key to the successful creation of K-12 engineering curricula,through researching and writing engineering-focused

The work of the center will continue through the end of the year 2000 with three years ofadditional NSF funding. Continuation is planned beyond 2000 with revenues derived from avariety of sources.While based in Dayton

A lot of emphasis has recently been put into integrating PBLexperiences into the undergraduate curriculum. Students are often presented with projects that aretailored to fit within the time constraints of a given course. However, when that project is a subset of alarger whole, then a comprehensive solution is rarely
