PROCEDURES

Typical area programs

are “canned” with
support from outside Hand-in-hand work with
institutions UTEP; low cost, emphasis
on “hand’s on;” grant work
reduces cost to district

CURRENT STATUS
High-level overview of progress
against schedule
• On-track in hand’s on, formative assessments
• Behind in vendor installation and financing,
UTEP negotiation
• Ahead in robotics

Vendor has had some problems

installing purchased equipment
• Room clean up after years of non-Engineering
use
• Woodshop needs work

MORE OBSERVATIONS
 Students don’t like Powerpoint!
 Students don’t understand the reason for
worksheets (form of hand’s on)
STUDENTS REALLY LIKE HAND’S ON
ACTIVITIES WHERE THEY CAN
EVEN MORE OBSERVATIONS
 Engineers confused
with technicians
 Decisions need to
involve an
experienced Engineer
 Might consider a
District-level
advisory panel
