Theemphasis in the readings is on both the relevance of EE as it pertains to technology that studentscan relate to, e.g., MP3 players, and to global problems, e.g., energy efficiency, as well as whatwill be taught in various courses that they will see in their next two or three semesters, and lesson “what an electrical engineer does in her/his career.”The course goals are listed and discussed below:1. Expose students to a wide range of EE-related topics. The choice of topics is necessarily limited by the constraints of a single semester, so it is not possible to discuss many of the areas of electrical

paper describes our origins and approach, andsummarizes some of our progress and challenges to date.IntroductionThere is increasing demand for higher education to produce graduates who are job- or career-ready 1,2. For example, most technical companies expect that new hires will be able to tacklecomplex multidisciplinary problems, and the ability to innovate is now an “integrative meta-attribute” desired in all engineering graduates 3. Pulling together disparate fields in innovativeways is now an expectation. A series of reports from the National Academies, e.g., “Educatingthe Engineer of 2020” 4 and “Rising Above the Gathering Storm” 5 emphasize the need forlifelong learning that bridges multiple disciplines.

is significantly different. For these youngest elementary school students, the focus is not on career education so much as it is toward problem solving, creativity, working with others--in point of fact--engineering habits of mind [7]. Multiple approaches to engineering curricula for younger students have emerged in the last ten years [7] [8] [9] [10] Some lean on robotics, some on LEGO, but two in particular place their engineering problems in the context of stories. EIE [8] and Novel Engineering [10] use story books (custom or trade) to provide context for the youngest of engineering investigators. This literacy-based approach [11] provided inspiration for the design of activities for the pre-K- second grade students at this engineering

This degree does not license them for professionalwork, but allows them to enter directly to graduate programs (Master and Doctor). Additionally,starting their fifth year in their career, students can
