Session Format
Presentation Session (20 minutes)
Location
Room 2903
Abstract for the conference program
We will report on the results of an externally funded project to improve student interest in engineering using project-based teaching and learning and Tablet Pc technology. Changes were made in some of the fundamental engineering courses to include hands-on projects, field trips and also invited speakers to the classroom. The results suggest that these changes can improve retention in engineering.
