After the activity, the professors independently evaluated the team documents using adesign metric (e.g. RADD – Requirements, Analysis, Documentation, Drawings).A correlation was found between previous internship experience and an increased ability todesign and document this skill. This correlation appeared in both MET and EET disciplines.There were consistent results between the faculty members, using the RADD metric. Aconclusion from this work is that participation in internships as an undergraduate positivelycontributes to student’s design abilities.IntroductionEngineering design

The paper describes the piloting ofprototype web-based educational materials for students in grade 4 (electricity) and lower levelundergraduate courses (engineering) – in an attempt to inspire students to pursue a science orengineering degree program. The initial pilot testing and assessment efforts of the project arepresented in conjunction with our intent to help K-12 students and teachers meet the rigorousNYS science standards.MotivationU.S. students are typically exposed to the use of computers in the K-12 classroom or mediacenters, yet rarely link their use of technology in school with how they use computers at home.They now have greater opportunities to garner knowledge

increased numbers of historically underrepresented students.The Femineer® Program was created to increase the number of women in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, especially engineering. Since 1980, femalestudents have continued to distance themselves from STEM courses [1]. According to theNational Center for Education Statistics, 35% of STEM bachelor degrees were conferred towomen in 2014. Of this 35%, 19.8% were engineering bachelor degrees [2]. In 2004, 20.5% ofengineering bachelor degrees were awarded to women [3]. This data shows that women areearning less engineering bachelor degrees and there has not been much progress since 2004.The issue of few women in STEM derives from STEM stereotypes and the gender gap

tremendousadvances in electronics manufacturing technology and concomitant increase in the complexity and capability ofthe embedded digital systems used in the “smart” products sold today means that industry can no longer relyupon these inefficient design techniques. Industry needs engineers that are trained in the latest, most effectiveembedded digital system design technologies. To meet this industrial need, the educational modus operandimust be updated to incorporate the revolutionary new design techniques being developed in the RASSPprogram and elsewhere. In effect, a paradigm shift in digital system design education is needed. This paper will describe a novel educational program that will ensure the successful transfer of the newtechnologies and
