Teachers also learned what makes agood engineering student and how to effectively teach different engineering habits of mind. As aresult, these teachers knew more than the average high school teacher about what engineering is,what the different disciplines entail and how to explain an engineering career path to students. Inshort, the training gave them the confidence necessary to encourage students to think about andprepare for careers in engineering

response to a general agreement by U.S. industry, engineering societies,and government that there had been a decline in the quality of undergraduate engineeringeducation over the previous two decades [14-15]. The result was a strong push towardsproviding both intellectual and physical activities (such as dissection) to anchor the knowledgeand practice of engineering in the minds of students [16-17]. Product dissection was successfulin achieving this for several reasons. First, it helps couple engineering principles with significantvisual feedback [18] and increase awareness of the design process [19]. Dissection also givesstudents early exposure to functional products and processes, and introducing such experiencesearly in the students’ academic

They can design recycling-friendly products, use environmentally conscious components, and propose recycling programs, but their companies have to support them in these endeavors. All of these steps cut into an electronic companies bottom line. Competition is tight, and many companies worry that they might lose their edge if they ‘waste’ money on electronic waste.
