successful engineering career development, the extent ofimplementation is limited to the team projects in the classroom. Manyengineering/business courses are pure lecture-based, and do not usually containcomponents that help student to boost their communication skills within the frameworkof engineering problems. The limited exposure to this critical success skill has resulted inisolated learning experience. Students lack the broad understanding in other areas ofstudy and oftentimes speaking different languages between the disciplines. Manyindustries (i.e., automotive, aerospace, electronics, etc.) are complaining about the lack ofpreparation future engineers are receiving in colleges and universities. The industriespointed out that there exists a

To remain competitive in the global market, medical device manufacturersneed highly qualified engineers to develop innovative and functional products.Undergraduate engineering students are often taught theoretical concepts without having theopportunity to actually apply these concepts in a real-world context. The National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) made the following two recommendations that are relevant to academicinstitutions: (1) academic institutions should take the steps to cultivate U.S. student interest, andaptitude for careers in engineering, and (2) academic institutions

Coincidently the 2008 – 2009 employment and labor report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the need for engineers with programming experience will be one of the careers with the largest numerical increase and demand. This research outlines: 1) the need for engineering in k-12 environments, 2) analyzes the reasons for which schools have had a difficult time fully integrating engineering into school curriculum, 3) proposes a mixed content and pedagogical approach to teaching engineering and programming based on a hands-on inquiry approach, and 4) outlines additional benefits of using a blended content approach such as this (e.g., improved student
