4th Avenue Building (1900 SW 4th Avenue)

and (TBD) at OIT (Klamath Falls) and OSU, as required.
Both programs will be run using DimDim for remote site participation.
DimDim is the Oregon IEEE Section's system for on-line meetings.

Abstract:
PLTW is a national initiative to develop enthusiasm for engineering careers by experiential learning in middle and high school programs. There some impressive statistics of nationwide successes, with seven Oregon schools currently certified and more on the way. But what comes
next? Can we as tertiary engineering educators maintain the momentum that PLTW creates, or will this new enthusiastic cohort be disappointed by their experience in university engineering programs.
The evening will first provide an introduction to PLTW .... what is it, and how is it developing nationwide and here in Oregon? (Claude Kansaku, OIT Klamath Falls)? This will be followed by examples of high school PLTW activities (Tom Thompson, ODE), some observations of PLTW alums at university (TBD), and general discussion of (a) how tertiary engineering
programs can take advantage of these developments, and (b) keep these students interested.
Agenda:
6.00-6.30pm Refreshments and Social (pizza/soda)
6.30-8.00pm Technical program
Location:
Room: ECE Department Conference Room FAB-155
Bldg: Portland State University
4th Avenue Building (1900 SW 4th Avenue)
Portland, Oregon
