In 2001 the MET programresponded to employer expectations by developing a new course, MET 100 Introduction toMechanical Engineering Technology. This course gives first semester students opportunities tolearn teamwork and professionalism skills they can apply in internships and in their careers. Theprogram also increased the number of individual and team project-based curriculum elementsmimicking professional tasks. For example, students in the

,Inc.Some K-12 programs focus on mutual concepts that appear in both engineering and the physicalsciences (engineering science) rather than design and problem solving (engineering design). It isno coincidence then that middle school students do not know what engineers are or what they doin practice. Hence, they do not choose engineering as a possible career choice. While the formerhas its merits with regard to enriching math and science education for students, the later isnecessary for a true understanding of engineering as a profession. Here we examine changes instudents‘ attitudes toward math and science, as well as their development of ideas aboutengineering after receiving instruction using both approaches - a science curriculum withintegrated

, etc. Some ofthese demographic characteristics actually can fit into either of the two characteristic categories defined above.For example, if a student is from a city where engineers have above average income, “location” becomes anexternal, environmental characteristic that attracts the student to engineering. For another example, if a studentis from an ethnic background where engineering is deemed to be a respectable career, “race” is thus acharacteristic that has helped the student to cultivate positive attitude towards engineering. However, since inmost survey designs, it is a convention that all these characteristics are measured under demographic category.This convention is retained in this study.2.2.
