: Fostering Interest in EngineeringAmong High School Students and Developing Future Engineering EducatorsABSTRACTThe development of the engineering workforce is a priority of engineering educators acrossdisciplines. Domestically, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that approximately 25,000new civil engineers will be needed each year of this decade. Given recent infrastructurelegislation, many more civil engineers will likely be required to design, build, and maintain theseproposed projects. Well-developed pre-college engineering curricula have been proven toincrease student enrollment in engineering majors. However, these benefits depend on effectiveclassroom technologies, tools, and techniques. This multi-year study looks at a one

These disciplines attractdifferent numbers of students, adapting to solve new problems with new technology. While thedefinition of an engineering discipline is not explicit, engineering programs must decide whatmajors to offer their students to prepare them for modern and future engineering problems.Additionally, students must navigate the

results reported herein suggest that implementing PBL is advantageous, at least on thetime-scale of students’ immediate participation in the course, it is also necessary to evaluate howstudents’ engagement in PBL impacts their future coursework. Moreover, as PBL continues togain traction in engineering education, it will become necessary to determine the extent to whichit prepares students for professional practice. If PBL can implemented such that it shrinks thegap between students’ conception of school knowledge and professional knowledge, it is likelythat implementing PBL more broadly can better equip students for careers in engineering.ReferencesAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

That said, the correlation between retention rates andthe inability of incoming students to progress through the required calculus sequence cannot beignored. This problem is not unique to WSU, and in recent years has received substantialattention in the engineering education literature10-16. The general consensus thus far is that thetraditional approach of teaching students the required mathematical theory simply as aprerequisite to subsequent engineering application is unsatisfactory, and that a
