There are many lessons that were learned through these endeavors thatare not readily apparent and are important in planning an effective outreach experience. This paper givesa brief overview of the three outreach activities. It discusses the authors’ activities abroad, describessome of the varying needs, and conveys lessons learned and issues which must be considered whenconducting these types of global outreach.Outreach 1.0: Afghanistan - 2009What did you do with your summer vacation?

A mixed-methods approach to research wasapplied to gather comprehensive and valid information about students’ SRL strategies. Theobjectives of this preliminary study were to investigate high school students' design activitiesthat reflect their understanding of task demand and SRL strategies to accomplish the design taskfrom the perspective of design performance (i.e., high- and low- performing students) andgender. A better understanding of these issues will specifically benefit technology and pre-engineering educators as well as the high school curriculum developer.Students at a high school in Colorado participated in this preliminary study (n = 29); 22

The present issue faced by industry andmanufacturing sector is not the number of students but well qualified and trained engineeringstudents (Deleveaux & Ruud, 1997). A few earlier studies have highlighted some of the major weakness of the engineering studentsas identified by the manufacturing industry (Hood, Sorensen, & Magleby, 1993, Trent & Todd,2012).

The Director was charged with drafting a formal business planthat could be presented to the university's upper-level administration.
