Subsequently, sharing thisexperience with other students off-campus using the CIMoW allows the students to becomementors to pre-college students and attract them to choose careers in

Furthermore, given the vast differences inprogramming experience of entering freshman students, a language like MATLAB was seen aspresenting similar educational benefits to a compiled language, without as steep a learning curve.Thus, the course has been completely revised to utilize MATLAB. One benefit of this approachhas been the inclusion or expansion of MATLAB use in several other engineering courses3,4 aswell as in math and physics courses. This vertical integration

One lecture hour per week is devoted to problem solving and the design process, and theother lecture hour is used primarily for invited speakers. The speakers have been selected torepresent a wide variety of engineering careers, and include senior managers as well as youngerengineers who are a year or two into their careers.
