We begin with a review of the conditions ofthe education system in Ytabo and the DR, considering challenges and difficulties that must beovercome to effectively advance engineering and technology education in public K-12classrooms. Next, we describe the components of the emergent MACILE model for Ytabo.Following, we present an analysis of the evolution of the summer program over the pilot phase.Next, we discuss efforts beyond the pilot phase, focusing on the joint collaboration betweenCOSOLA and TEE.

Attendees included 39administrators and teachers from 14 school districts in and around Cincinnati, and 11professionals to formulate initiatives that will specifically prepare students to be successful incollege and increase IHE enrollments in STEM disciplines. The meetings focused on causes ofdeclining enrollment and underrepresented groups in STEM disciplines, particularly engineering,in IHE, and how to help alleviate these conditions. To gain a better grasp of the “reality on theground” a survey was conducted in the spring of 2003 of among 4,263 students from 14 schooldistricts.

One of the advantages of PBL is that it relates the classroom experience toreal life experience in a way that allows students to appreciate what they learn1.Preparation for teaching PBL courses is quite different. The course material should bepresented in the form of problems or projects and enough references should be availablefor students. Classroom activities and group activities should also be planned andprepared to guide students in their learning.In a typical PBL class, several problems or projects are used to cover the learningobjectives of the class.

Next, thestudents are presented with traditional lectures and reading on basic gait terminology,biomechanics, and measurement devices for the “multiple perspectives” and “research andrevise” phases.

Students are given designspecifications that are relaxed enough to ensure that the project can be completed within a se-mester, yet realistic enough to demonstrate the intended concepts. For the final project they areasked to design an experiment that can be used to demonstrate some aspect of BME in futureECE classes. We hope that students will give us new ideas so that the experiments used in otherECE classes can be dynamically modified from year to year and students may be exposed tomore contemporary areas of BME. 3.3 Plans for Full Development Upon

This educational model therefore attempts to reflect the realities in thecorporate work environment.In the revised course, the total number of contact hours remained unchanged. Also, the generaltechnical topics that were covered in the course in the past were not altered in the revisedversion. The course content was organized into six two-week educational modules

I then focused the class discussionon resources for identifying and evaluating polymer materials.

A multidisciplinary facility, shared between ECE and MAE classes would allow efficient use of space and equipment, better use of available funds, and elimination of overlap among individual departmental labs. Focusing experiments on a single device rather than a plurality of devices would result in economies of space, money and student time.To achieve these goals we carefully planned the new laboratory.
