at asouthwestern university. This program aimed to expose its students, those in grades 6 through12, to the field of engineering and provide them with a basic foundation of knowledge that wouldbe useful to them should they pursue a collegiate degree in engineering. Participating in thisprogram also allows students the opportunity to experience life on a university campus, gain self-confidence, refine their self-identity, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and increase theirknowledge of engineering. In order to do so, NM PREP utilized hands-on activities, field trips,opportunities for group work, and lectures that revolved around a variety of engineeringdisciplines including Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Geomatics/Survey

III. Project DescriptionThe project was to create a transmission system for an analog video transmission on the UHF 70cm amateur radio band. An off-the-shelf video transmitter was adapted in conjunction withseveral versions of a 70 cm ground plane antenna and a video switching circuit in order toproduce the desired video transmission. The harsh, near-space environment introduced manyproblems and engineering walls in which needed to be overcome

Page 15.216.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Assessment of Problem-Based LearningAbstractUtilizing real-world problems as a stimulus for student learning is not at all new and has been inpractice for a very long time. Problem-based learning has been defined as minds-on, hands-on,focused, experiential learning (Wilkerson & Gijselaers, 1996). A problem-based curriculum issignificantly different from the traditional discipline centered curriculum (Woods, 1994).Instructors are considered to serve as problem solving colleagues assigned

A multidisciplinary approach to engineering designis valuable in that it asks that students make certain that, “…advances in performance,…technology, or discipline(s), must be much more highly integrated than in the past” [2].
