insufficient methods for students to acquire hands-on experience in the scientific and technical disciplines necessary for space commerce and exploration. 2. Students have a hard time identifying relevant space systems hardware requirements while designing a real mission. 3. The National Research Council (NRC) committee believes that training students to design and build satellite and satellite instruments, gain hands-on experience with the unique demands of satellite and satellite systems environments and operations, and acquire early knowledge of systems engineering techniques is an extremely important investment to make[4, 5].

Still, the verdict of independent scholars studying our program has been that we are notthat different, and our efforts at innovation may not be having their intended effect.51 Moreover,the structure of accreditation limits change at our institution and in other new and innovativeengineering programs.52I have pragmatically used EC 2000 as a motivation or justification for the use of criticalpedagogies and for liberal education reforms in the engineering curriculum. At the same time,EC 2000 undercuts some goals of critical pedagogies (and in fact ABET’s own lifelong learningoutcome) by reinforcing the idea of credentialing as the central purpose of an

In fact, the first technical skill listedin the Society of Manufacturing Engineer’s list of educational competency gaps isManufacturing Process Control4. Members of the UT Martin Industrial Advisory Committee,who come principally from manufacturing backgrounds, have consistently emphasized theimportance of this course.

As with other types of technologies, from video simulations to computer-based tutorials, the instructor must be comfortable with not only the medium, but also themessage sent through the medium to the students. In an on-line discussion, the instructor mustcarefully monitor students’ statements about concepts and redirect them as necessary.Monitoring the discussions requires time and commitment on the part of the instructor, as well asa desire to assist the student to come to a deeper understanding of the concept itself.

We specificallylook at teacher perceptions of STOMP, experience and comfort level in teaching STEM content,and their shear interest in the STOMP program. We also examine a need and rationale behind athree-phase model in which STOMP has a sustainable impact on a teacher’s ability to implementSTEM curricula.Results of this study show that STOMP has raised teachers’ confidence in teaching andknowledge of engineering and technology content.

This paper will discuss the manner in which theteaming skills were introduced to freshmen; the manner in which they responded; the typicalresponse of seniors who were not exposed to an introductory course; and, finally, what isrecommended to extend the freshmen experience throughout the curriculum so that the seniorswould clearly demonstrate they have attained the benefits of a planned curriculum
