undertaking the ALERT (Active Learning inEngineering Technology) initiative to address the issue by implementing evidence-based activelearning techniques in selected courses to foster students’ interest and persistence. Statics,Dynamics and Thermodynamics are the target courses. Statics is a gateway course foundationalto the rest of the program, Dynamics is taken right after Statics, and Thermodynamics is one ofthe most challenging senior level courses. These courses are serving as the avenues formeasuring the effectiveness of using active learning techniques. The specific techniques we areimplementing are: in-class experiments, just-in-time teaching, team quizzes, and students asteachers. On a broader impact, the ALERT initiative will be the launch

students attribute to it. A component of course quality is thedelivery or presentation of the course content. This study focused on developing strategies toimprove this aspect of course quality. Often in engineering, instructors focus more on what theybelieve is good for the students (and they are often correct), but do not adequately take intoaccount the students’ point of view on the instructional delivery methods and the entireeducational experience. This often results in gaps or mismatches between student expectationsand learning preferences, and faculty expectations and teaching preferences. Stedinger [1] illustrates how these gaps can be overcome if faculty members helpstudents to better articulate what is working and not working for

Over the past ten years, however, therehas been a paradigm shift in the nature of computing technologies far differentfrom those that faculty have spent the majority of their life’s experience gettingcomfortable with.

. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students alternate between inductive andconductive processes, thus broadening their design vision and their understanding of theexperimental approach to engineering design. There is potentially a real need to research theways to teach engineering

One might call this STEM-literacy, where the literacy level not onlyincludes literacy in each on the four components but also in how the four components worksynergistically together. Additionally, technology/engineering can provide valuablecontextual education settings resulting in effective learning (of math, science and “non-technical” subjects like history, social studies and language arts). At our institution, TheCollege of New Jersey (TCNJ), it was felt that an effective place to impact technologicalliteracy, as well as increase the effectiveness of teaching and learning is with future K-5teachers.
