of the students from early in the process canprove to be instrumental in the future success of the maker space. As opposed to an “If you buildit, they will come” philosophy, it can prove of use to ask the students for input on the matter inadvance as you may find that there is not as big of a desire for a space as anticipated. That’s notto say that a maker space would not be a good addition to your university just that the type ofspace that the students are looking for could be different then you planned, (sewing machinesand vinyl cutters instead of CNC mills and lathes).The involvement of students also plays a crucial role later on the process once the space hasbecome established in maintaining and expanding your maker space.

Wenoticed students working in groups in this class tend to stick together afterwards in study groups,which contributed to their success in other classes. In addition to team building, we view theengineering design course as a “career molding” experience by showing the exciting, hand-onside of engineering. We believe all of these aspects contribute to the improvement of studentretention rates.In this paper, we will address the motivation for redesigning our engineering experience for firstyear students and re-shuffling of the CE 4-year plan based on observations and student

Thus, students are introduced to manufacturing considerations and work with the instructor to validate the manufacturing and pricing assumptions.7. Technology roadmapping. The fact that this is a freshman level class with a one semester duration necessitates that the process be truncated. The students are required to make a technology roadmap, describing the technologies that need to be developed in order for the product to become a reality. They are, however, not required nor encouraged to embark on the technology development during the course. Instead, the students are asked to make an initial plan to develop these technologies in

orderto do so, the School of Engineering developed a zero-credit course that was given at the end ofthe sophomore year. This course was originally developed in response to the ABET 2000Criteria, and has been modified over the years to meet changes in protocol, curriculum, andtechnology8. During this course, the students go through an individual interview with theinstructor and take an exam based on the courses from the first two years of the curriculum. Thisinformation is then used during the department’s internal assessment process.This paper gives an overview of this exam, as well as how it is used to help in our internalassessment process and outlines recent plans to use the exam to aid students in their upperdivisional years as well.

Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks:  Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.  Identify your backup plan – “safety” school, work, volunteering
