Tallman, head of the Engineering Library at the Universityof California, Los Angeles, joined ASEE in 1948 and was an active member through the mid-1950s. Her autobiography3, which she published in 1985 following her retirement from theCalifornia Institute of Technology, mentions ASEE only in passing.The primary sources consulted for this paper include the Proceedings of the SPEE, whichprovide a record of the society’s meetings, governance, organization, membership anddiscussions from 1893 to the present.

considered strong enough tocapture the vision in the Libraries’ strategic plan. The lab was envisioned as a space withrelevant, current technologies, to ignite creativity in anyone who was a part of the UTAcommunity. Additionally, the opportunity to be one of the MIT-affiliated FabLabs, was seen asnot only good for enhancing students’ experience, but also as a great marketing tool for theuniversity. In short, the Libraries administration decided to build a FabLab because FabLabshave the technology and the educational focus that makerspaces do not.Although such labs are generally associated with Engineering, the Libraries’ leadership decidedthat the vision would be expanded beyond the normal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,Mathematics

technologies in Undergraduate EducationThe use of Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis and blogs in undergraduate education hascoincided with the emergence of the social networking phenomena and the near ubiquitouspresence of mobile computing platforms on smart phones and tablets [3]. Over the past five yearsseveral studies have been published examining the emergent use of Web 2.0 technologies in theclassroom environment. Some of the earliest publications reviewed Chao’s Student ProjectCollaboration using Wikis (2007), Wiki as a Teaching Tool (2007) and Heys’ Group Projects inChemical Engineering Using a Wiki (2008) featured case studies of wiki usage in undergraduatecomputer science and chemical engineering courses.

criticisms are voiced in meetings of collegeindustrial advisory boards, industry partners and alumni established in their discipline. In aneffort to address this, the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) Department ofYoungstown State University initiated a joint pedagogical experiment with the Department ofFine and Performing Arts (F&PA) at Youngstown State University. The goal of the experimentwas two-fold – to expose the engineer to an ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking environment and toestablish a means where effective communication with non-technical personnel was required.The experiment was jointly developed between the departments so that the students from bothdepartments would work towards their own pedagogical objectives.

Theresults obtained by reviewing these lessons indicate that 59, 62, 66, and 78% of STEP lessonsanalyzed contain components of mathematics, engineering, technology, and science, respectively(see Table 1). Interestingly, 97% of lessons at least partially contain components from at leastthree of these disciplines. When evaluating lessons that definitely contain elements from,science, technology, engineering, and/or math, 82% contain content from at least two of thesefour STEM areas, suggesting a trend that STEP lessons are interdisciplinary.More than 97% of lessons address or partially address the use of multiple learning styles, andmore than 93% of STEP lessons contain a real-world application.

When asked if the assignment would resonatewith them after graduating, they all said ‘yes’, and thus they would take theenvironmental effects as a factor when making engineering decision.1.
