AB  -                             Teachers Make Lousy Students –                            And What You Can Do About ItAs part of the College’s Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, a pre-engineeringprogram was included. The pre-engineering program described the fields of engineering andengineering technology allowing participants to explore technology systems and designprocesses. The overall goal of the pre-engineering program was to help teachers betterunderstand engineering and engineering technology so that they can appropriately addressengineering and technology related topics in their classrooms. The program content wasprovided using a variety of means including instructor led presentations and projects. Allpresentation materials were available to participants before, during and after the sessions via anRET web site. Significant effort was made to develop interactive discussions betweenparticipants and the instructor while making use of an item of current interest. For example,mechanical engineering was introduced around the topic of gears, particularly gears on bicycles,with a discussion of gearing that would be appropriate for various stages of the Tour de Francewhich was in progress.Project-based work was used to develop the topics presented and provide opportunities for activelearning for the participants. In most cases, participants worked in teams on projects to modelthe approach that would be used in the schools. The projects typically provided an open-endedproblem centered around a topic (e.g. the engineering design process) and required participantsto work together to solve the problem.This paper describes the evolution of this pre-engineering program over several years as the RETorganizers sought to be responsive to participant behavior and feedback. Based on participantevaluation of the pre-engineering program and instructor observations the sessions weremodified to be responsive to participant needs. The table below summarizes the characteristicsof the pre-engineering program that were modified through the RET. These along withparticipant feedback are presented in the paper.                         2009                     2010                      2011Teaching Sessions        9                        8                         4Projects                 2 short; 1 long          2 short; 2 demos          2 short; 2 longContact Time             2-3 hrs / session        2 hrs / session           3 hrs / sessionLed by                   College staff            College staff             College staff and peer                                                                            instructorsParticipant              Various measures will be presented in the paperSatisfaction
