materials for them. Some teachers have reached out to us to ask for guidancein designing an engineering lesson for their students and we’ve provided ideas, suggestions,and recommendations for how they could create a lesson based on the subject topics andconcepts they are teaching. We’ve also provided additional professional development andtraining throughout the academic year for interested teachers. We’ve also planned several fieldtrips to Virginia Tech for their students to see the university campus and visit some engineeringlabs.In addition, research will be conducted on the impacts of engineering integration initiatives. Bymaintaining these relationships and providing sustained support, we hope to have a lastingimpact on engineering education

Problem solving skills are critical to becoming an effective engineer. With minimalapplication opportunities for upper-level course material in the typical engineering curriculum,students are often not sufficiently prepared to accomplish rigorous design projects in industryimmediately following graduation. Having the requisite knowledge is only one part of the task;being able to effectively utilize and apply prior knowledge requires more advanced learningoutcomes.

The Lecture/Laboratory DisconnectIn curricula that teach EE concepts, hands-on laboratories that accompany circuit theory, signals& systems, and digital design courses are often scheduled separately, partly because textbooksoften adopt a written-work and software paradigm. Additionally, organizing students and topicsin laboratory-only environments is more efficient than interspersing hands-on assignments withlectures, so unless lecture and laboratory courses are paired, laboratories can be separated in timefrom their corresponding lecture material, making it difficult for

Under current engineering training, students are asked to solve these“textbook” problems, which generally are simple, formulated in particular forms and havestandardized approaches and answers. In industry, however, engineers often face complicatedproblems with no immediate and absolute answers. Hence, engineering graduates often findthat techniques they have learned in college are not practical for solving industrial problems. Examination-oriented education effectively turns assessment into a tool for these kindsof competition. Schools tend to focus on how to help students pass the selective examinationsand how to increase promotion rates. Teachers tend to pay closest attention to the “best
