In conjunction with the classroom and supportactivities, the project will establish a computer laboratory with instructional andevaluation tools used within the mathematics community. The judicious integration ofexperienced teaching and available technology will develop the infrastructure needed toenhance teaching and student performance in mathematics at Prairie View A&MUniversity.

The course that we created consisted of a series of short lectures on the design process aswell as group activities and exercises to further illustrate these topics. We had a shortintroductory simple design exercise and covered reverse engineering, project management and thedesign process. Mini-projects in class served to illustrate the main points of the design process.Students were also given a logbook in which to record any notes from the class or any ideas thatthey might have in order to prepare them for the idea of keeping a laboratory notebook for thepurpose of patent rights.

Theincreasingly overloaded degree syllabus provides the academic impetus to reorganize subjectsand reduce superfluous detail.There is also an industrial imperative to teach material that is of use to the practicing engineer.This imperative is reinforced by the comments such as the following that arise from practicingChemical Engineers.“I never made use of Bode plots or root-locus when I was designing a control loop”“There are no transfer functions out there in the real plant”“The material I had been taught was of no use in commissioning a control loop”Control education clearly needs to do better

The aim of the present poster is toemphasize the importance of applying lean manufacturing principles in a program for supportingthe needs of underrepresented students and identifying potential beneficial outcomes. Thehypothesis being tested was that providing students with the opportunity to engage in hands-ondiscovery-based activities, offering experience in laboratory environments, allowing them toconduct undergraduate research, and offering mentorship as part of a community would helpstudents develop a strong self-identity in STEM and strengthening their self-efficacy, and hasadded value to students of different background.

SimpleCPU is a macro package that uses aspreadsheet to provide an inside view of CPU operation, and it has been used tointroduce CPU fundamentals in the computer literacy course.
