While labs are critical to gaining technology experience, they are not engineeringprojects. The first comprehensive engineering project a student attempts is the program’scapstone course; the Senior Design. The under-served component of Engineering Technologyeducation is engineering projects.This paper describes a three-year NSF-funded summer program designed to improve studentretention in Engineering Technology by exposing students to an industrial setting to gainpractical engineering experience.

majority of the literature on behavioral and implementation intentions focuses on health-related behavior, specifically health-protective behaviors (e.g., condom use8) and its associatedtheories and models (e.g., prototype-willingness model9). While these theories and theresulting studies have established the role of intentions in the pursuit and attainment of healthgoals, the scope of this research has perhaps been limited. Those studies, with a fewexceptions, that are not focused on health-related behavior can be considered primarylaboratory research using paradigms that may not generalize outside of the laboratory (e.g., cuedetection in an illusion paradigm10).

Industry is very concerned about labor cost (time) and cannot afford todeal with unsupported, and often non-robust, tools. The use of such problem-plaguedtools was a major impediment to obtaining an operational system. The sponsor’s CEOhas talked to the students and emphasized that “time is money” and “do not hesitate toask for help” – especially utilizing the supporting professionals – plus looking for otherways to successfully proceed when faced with a stalled task (think out of the box).Problem Handling: “The skill of diagnosis and subsequent corrective actions that isefficacious.” In college engineering labs effective student laboratory

It is difficult for most tertiary educational institutions tooffer hands-on labs in fluid mechanics and heat transfer because the majority of experiments in these fieldsare expensive to manufacture, difficult to calibrate, and large and heavy enough that they require permanentlab space. We hope to add quantitative flow measurement components to FlowGo such that undergradu-ates could use the toolkit to learn fluid mechanics

of Written Communication into Engineering Classes and CurriculaAbstractThe inclusion of writing-based exercises in technical courses has multiple learning benefits tostudents. Writing exercises not only serve to improve students’ written communication skills(i.e., “learn to write”), but can also be leveraged to develop critical thinking skills and promotedeeper understanding of technical concepts (i.e., “write to learn”). Nevertheless, while writing-intensive assignments are relatively common in upper-level technical courses, especially in theform of laboratory and project reports, writing is often absent in the larger, required core coursesthat are taken by large numbers of engineering students.
