Most recently these outcomeshave been placed within a framework for engineering dissection activities which high lights theability of dissection to (1) expose students to engineering concepts and vocabulary; (2) inspirestudents through engagement in a self-discovery learning environment; (3) foster inquiry intoengineering principles and theory; and (4) encourage exploration of generation, redesign, anddesign processes4.

An opportunity was uncovered after speakingwith a professor at Penn State who teaches a general science class entitled “Energy and theEnvironment”, with a primarily non-technical student audience. For this class, the CollegeStudents were required to design a webpage reporting on an aspect of Clean Energy. Theprofessor agreed to ask them to make an additional page for their website that was designed foran audience from 7th thru 12th graders.

themes of improvement that has developed from these studies encourages dualemphasis on teaching and research at the undergraduate level (Coppula 1997). Rather thanviewing teaching and research as opposite ends of the spectrum of undergraduate education,integrative strategies can be adopted to benefit the student’s educational process. Synergismbetween teaching and research can be beneficial for the undergraduate engineering student(Sabatini 1997). Involving undergraduate students in the research process enables them to learnthe methods and processes of research, i.e. what scientists and engineers do, how to make informedjudgments about technical matters, and how to communicate and work in teams to solve complexproblems (NSF 1996).Motivated by

Engineering students often do thisin informal settings (e.g., study groups) but rarely do so in a formal classroom setting. Thecritiquing activity is the strength of the studio-based learning process, as it requires students toevaluate and explain (teach) the material to others, thus strengthening their own understanding ofthe concepts.To implement this approach, a team from the chemical engineering program and the computerscience program have been working on developing two software packages to aid students indeveloping their skills in the material and energy

Many students report having felt disenfranchised with their mathcourses since middle school. And, while community colleges have done much to address thesystemic barrier of developmental, non-college credit math courses, academic preparation remainsan issue.
