In today’s world, the contributions by engineers surround us. From the cars we drive towork, to the televisions we watch for entertainment, to the cell phones we use to communicatewith one another all are products developed by engineers. From one perspective, these productsare answers to a problem; cars allow us to travel from point A to point B in a timely fashion,televisions bring entertainment to our homes, and cell phones make us easily accessible to ourfriends and family. Yet, even after these products are available to the general population,engineers still search for ways to enhance them to produce a better product. The solution to theproblem is never perfect, and thus problem-solving is continuous. The nation’s desire

In addition, the CBI students tended to bemore willing to make use of the classroom resources (student assistants and posted notes) thanthe non-CBI group.

Questions 10 and 12 on the P.E.S. ask, “How muchmath do you plan to take in high school,” and “How much physics do you plan to take in highschool,” respectively. In spring 2009, the number of mentees planning on taking a greaternumber of years of math and physics increased from the initial survey to the final survey, whilethe number planning on taking the minimum number of years of math and physics dropped. Thisdirectly shows that DREAM has been effective in stressing the importance of taking math andscience courses for success in higher education, specifically in the STEM fields.

design methods and education. Two critical success factors for an engineer in the flat world are their ability to adapt tochanges, and be able to work at the interface of different disciplines6. In this “flat-world”7,engineers and scientists need to constantly absorb and teach others new ways of doing old or newthings, and mostly learn how to work well with others. By working with others, students: (a)obtain opportunities to experience a different domain; (b) combine knowledge and skills fromdifferent disciplines; (c) work as a team member; and (d) solve real-time research problems.Also, interdisciplinary collaboration provides students with significant personal developmentopportunities8. ABET describes that engineering programs focus on
