AC 2009-1899: ENGAGING EARLY ENGINEERING STUDENTS (EEES):BACKGROUND AND GOALS OF AN NSF STEP PROJECT TO INCREASERETENTION OF EARLY ENGINEERING STUDENTSJon Sticklen, Michigan State University Jon Sticklen is the Director of the Applied Engineering Sciences major, College of Engineering, Michigan State University. Dr. Sticklen also serves as the College Coordinator for engineering education research, and is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department, MSU. Dr. Sticklen has lead a laboratory in knowledge-based systems focused on task specific approaches to problem solving. More recently, Dr. Sticklen has pursued engineering education research focused on early
opportunities.About 50 of the colleges in the book include engineering or pre-engineering programs.Examples of programs profiled include the EPICS program at Purdue University; the ColoradoSchool of Mines Minor in Civic Engagement and a special interest area in humanitarianengineering; Colorado State University’s Service-Learning Graduate Teaching CertificateProgram; and the University of Pennsylvania’s CommuniTech. However, more important than alist of programs and courses is an understanding of the outcomes that can result from studentengagement in PBSL.Although this paper focuses exclusively on the students’ educational outcomes, of equalimportance are the impacts on the community partners.

reducethe number of credit hours to obtain a bachelor’s degree2,3. To overcome these challenges,educators must be creative and implement multiple topics and techniques into a single course.This is especially true when trying to teach non-technical engineering skills such asprofessionalism, communication, and economics as articulated in the ASCE Body ofKnowledge4. Activities such as design projects, field trips, and laboratory experiments are oftenused to help provide a well-rounded education. The objective of this research was to explore the design-build process in a series ofhorizontal design courses. Design-build is a common project delivery technique in the structuralengineering industry. Designers and contractors work as a single entity
as designing and testing of propulsion systems including design and development of pilot testing facility, mechanical instrumentation, and industrial applications of aircraft engines. Also, in the past 10 years she gained experience in teaching ME and ET courses in both quality control and quality assurance areas as well as in thermal-fluid, energy conversion and mechanical areas from various levels of instruction and addressed to a broad spectrum of students, from freshmen to seniors, from high school graduates to adult learners. She also has extended experience in curriculum development. Dr Husanu developed laboratory activities for Measurement and Instrumentation course as well as for quality control undergraduate
, skills, and behaviors of students. Examples of extra-curricular activities are student organizations and student conferences. SPK resources derivedfrom definitions in the ABET General Criteria are: 6. Faculty: Ensure sufficient faculty with appropriate qualifications to teach the curriculum, accommodate university service, professional development, and interactions with industrial and professional practitioners as well as faculty authority to administer the program. 7. Facilities: Ensure classrooms, library services, offices, laboratories, and associated equipment provide a conducive learning environment for attaining student outcomes. 8. Institutional Support: Ensure institutional services, financial support, and staff

Smith’s research supports the importance of providing faculty with morecomprehensive profiles of student learning styles in order to cultivate a learning environmentthat supports a greater diversity of STEM students.
