systems framework, used in the design ofproducts and manufacturing processes. Design of modern day products involves the knowledgeof different engineering disciplines, as well as an ability to communicate and work well in multi-disciplinary teams. Because engineers are traditionally trained in fields such as eitherMechanical or Electrical engineering, many of today’s engineering graduates are not wellprepared to function competently in environments that require them to work on products whereelectrical and mechanical knowledge areas are intertwined.An ongoing NSF-funded project addresses these competency gaps through the development oftwo courses incorporating team-oriented and project-based activities, as a follow-up to previousefforts centered

Virginia University Institute of Technology offers an annual summer program for highschool and rising high school students interested in the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMath (STEM) fields. During this program, students spend a week on a college campus attendingSTEM classes taught by college professors, participate in engineering design projects andproblem solving challenges, and attend a STEM related field trip. Participants are mentored byand interact with both STEM professors and undergraduate STEM students throughout the weeknot only during classes and projects, but also during meals and free time. This less formalinteraction outside of classes is crucial in developing rapport with students so they feelcomfortable asking questions and

Regardless of students’apprehension, instrumentation use grows because these tools can be used to validate importantdesign assumptions and monitor performance as the design is built. This is especially true insituations when unknown design parameters must be verified and workers safety may becompromised, such as a large earthwork and shoring projects.
