To introduce non-traditional engineering students (women and minorities) to faculty careers and aspects of teamwork in the diverse workforce of the 21st century through the development, testing and assessment of electronic multimedia engineering courseware modules.

The General Electric Fund awarded Bucknell University a grant to support GE's FACULTY FOR THE FUTURE program in the area of UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH. The GE Fund grant awarded to the College of Engineering is entitled "Applying Learning Style Theory to the Research and Development of Electronic Classroom Courseware with Non-Traditional Engineering Students." Throughout the summer, students work with engineering faculty on the development of multimedia courseware for use in the College's electronic classrooms. This interaction, focused on teaching-related projects, creates an environment conducive in encouraging students to consider a career as a teacher/scholar in higher education.
