called for broad reform in K-12 STEM education, and ASEE clearlyhas an opportunity to be a national leader in K-12 reform, since it impacts engineering educationat the college level. K-12 is the pipeline and lifeblood for what we do and how it affects thetechnology base of this country. Indeed, ASEE has already begun to try and impact K-12 througha number of initiatives including the all day seminar initiated at the past three nationalconferences. The YOD on the other hand was an attempt to get a handle on the various aspects ofengineering education through research and to build on the momentum started by such schools asPurdue and Virginia Tech, which have started engineering education programs.

Storytelling as an Effective Mean for Stimulating Students' Passion in Engineering ClassesAbstractStorytelling was employed as a powerful tool in stimulating students' interest in the classroom ofa sophomore level course in engineering design. Over two years, students’ assessment of themethodology was obtained through a survey that incorporated students that have and not havetaken the course. The outcome of students’ satisfaction and support of telling stories by theinstructor was overwhelming among both groups of students. The impact was not targetedtowards just creating passion in the classroom, but the active participation and reflection on thestories was sought to lead to ethical values pedagogy.
