UniversityAbstractPenn State University has hosted an NSF-sponsored GK-12 Outreach project for the past fiveyears, and has just begun the second phase of the project. The Penn State project utilizes thetalents of many science and engineering graduate students as teachers, mentors and role modelsfor the K-12 classrooms. The project focuses on developing skills of students in the areas ofscience, technology, engineering and mathematics through the use of Advanced TransportationTechnologies. A new project component was devised and implemented--the interaction of K-12students with college freshman via a website project. The college freshmen were asked to createa website describing a component of "Clean Energy", which was to include an assessment tool toprovide

Afterstudents in the experiment group completed two projects with additional feedback on their testcases, they completed a final project without the additional feedback. Despite not receivingadditional feedback, their test cases were of higher quality, exposing on average 5% more buggysolutions than students from the control group. We found this difference to be statisticallysignificant after controlling for GPA and whether students worked alone or with a partner.2 IntroductionTesting is an integral part of software development that

This is by design.Educators worked with industry representatives to develop the standards. Don Hatton (of the EIA) sharedhis perspective of the EIA approach with this writer on October 29, 1997.“Industry requires workers to perform.

As mentioned earlier, this course isalso an elective for students in other engineering degree programs, as well as students enrolled innon-engineering degree programs, such as Management, Leadership Development, andEducation (e.g., Instructional Design). Of the total sample we analyzed, 327 students wereregistered in one of three engineering degree programs (Systems Engineering, SoftwareEngineering, or Information Science), 12 were registered in a Leadership Development degreeprogram (offered by the Management Division), and 24 had undeclared majors at the time of theKAI administration.

, many engineeringstudents struggle to connect these experiences to the work they will do after graduation [54].Rather than nurture adaptability, they may just reinforce or evaluate students' existing adaptivetendencies. More research to clarify how we define, measure, and understand adaptability isneeded before engineering educators can effectively teach it.The past two decades have seen the integration of several other “human skills” [4] [55] intoformal engineering curriculum (e.g., ethics, communication, and societal and global issues),partly in response to changes in accreditation standards [5]. Other studies show that, whilehuman skills can be acquired in an experiential learning environment, they are best learned whenexplicitly taught and
