school.Getting Started - Planning and PreparationPlanning begins in December when the Graduate Fellow meets with the fourth gradeteacher coordinator. Prior to the meeting, the Graduate Fellow assesses the availability ofUndergraduate Fellows in January and February. Based on this, the fourth grade teacherwill ask each of the other fourth grade teachers to provide the names of 2-4 studentsrequiring assistance. In the past, we have started with the names of three students perteacher for a total of 12 students. What has happened is that sometimes the student(s)cannot stay after school or the teacher decides to assist them instead. In this case, weeither take the names of new students to work with or we move forward with fewer than12 students. Based on our

In The Scienceand Engineering Workforce: Realizing America‟s Potential, the NSB strongly recommendsnational-level action to provide an adequate number of science and engineering graduates toensure competitiveness in the ever-changing global economy2. Moreover, there is a critical needfor partnerships between universities and K12 schools to increase the mathematics and scienceabilities of high school graduates – preparing them for any career path, particularly for STEMdisciplines.In addition to the quantity of engineering and science graduates, many studies have focused onthe qualities needed of these graduates by today’s society.

While theterms “model” and “modeling” are not simple to define, within engineering, Piel and Truxal1offer a helpful account: “a model is the simplest possible system description that includes allimportant aspects.” One might add to this “at the appropriate level of detail and accuracy”,which helps to capture the significant amount of judgment involved

activities for undergraduate engineering students.IntroductionIn the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, scholarship in American engineering education underwent afundamental shift as a result of two distinct events: restructuring of the accreditationrequirements of ABET, Inc. (previously known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology) in 1997 and the publication of the National Academy of Engineering “Engineer of2020” reports in 2004 and 20051. These reform efforts stemmed from calls from the Americanprofessional engineering community citing a consistent need for professional, communicative,and innovative engineers in the workplace2, and led to the creation of numerous experimentalpedagogies, programs, and other initiatives to encourage

changing the design objective, goal, and constraints between years, all teamswill compete on a level playing field.A short activity has been developed to present and reinforce the concepts of design formanufacturability. The activity is highly reusable; for example, by simply adjusting thedesignated costs or earning per widget each year, a previous year’s winning design can berendered ineffective given the new constraints. Further, this activity is not discipline-specific;we expect that it is well suited for students in all engineering fields.6. References[1] K. T. Ulrich and S. D.
