Eight different courses involving seven non-engineering faculty, an education consultant, and the engineering Principal Investigator are being taught based on the READ-USE-ASSEMBLE-CALCULATE-TEACH process related to relevant technological devices. The student-driven sequence incorporates student-faculty contact, cooperation among students, and active learning, gives prompt feedback, emphasizes time-on-task, communicates high expectations, and respects diverse talents and ways of learning.By matching appropriate devices to non-engineering courses with appreciable technical content, cross-college faculty collaborations are being used for co-teaching of or supplementation to existing courses in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHASS), the College of Education (CED), and the College of Design (COD). The efficacy of this cross college collaboration is being demonstrated by serving a diversity of students including (i) engineering and science students in foreign language courses, (ii) pre-service technology education students seeking teaching degrees, (iii) in-service, practicing teachers of technology education in grades 6-12, and (iv) industrial design majors.Evaluation of these collaborative instruction efforts includes student questionnaires, independent laboratory observers, and interviews of participating faculty and a sample of students. Dissemination is being accomplished through presentations and publications in professional society meetings of language instructors, technology education teachers, industrial design professionals, and engineers. The final project product will be a compact disc (CD) containing all lab device chapters, as well as all publications and evaluations for this effort. The product CD distribution is being distributed to US engineering deans and engineering faculty involved in undergraduate laboratory instruction.

根据与相关技术设备相关的阅读-使用-组装-计算-教学过程，教授八门不同的课程，涉及七名非工程学教师、一名教育顾问和工程学首席调查员。这种以学生为主导的教学模式结合了师生之间的联系、学生之间的合作和主动学习、及时反馈、强调任务完成时间、交流高期望值、尊重不同的人才和学习方式。通过将合适的设备与具有可观技术含量的非工程课程相匹配，跨学院教师合作正被用于人文社会科学院(CHASS)、教育学院(CED)和设计学院(COD)现有课程的联合教学或补充。这种跨学院合作的有效性正通过为不同的学生提供服务来体现，这些学生包括(I)外语课程的工程和理科学生，(Ii)寻求教学学位的职前技术教育学生，(Iii)在职的6-12年级技术教育实习教师，以及(Iv)工业设计专业。对这些合作教学努力的评估包括学生问卷调查、独立实验室观察员以及对参与其中的教师和学生样本的访谈。通过在语言教师、技术教育教师、工业设计专业人员和工程师的专业协会会议上发表演讲和出版物，实现了传播。最终的项目产品将是一张光盘(CD)，其中包含实验设备的所有章节，以及这项工作的所有出版物和评估。该产品的CD分发正在分发给参与本科生实验室教学的美国工程学院院长和工程教员。
