Many engineering programs are facing unfamiliar challenges in the area of curriculum development and course offerings. Some engineering departments are working with a new constituency of students through newly offered courses on engineering and technological topics for non-engineering students. At the same time increased emphasis has been directed to the importance of a high quality first year engineering experience. Both of these changes have been motivated by several factors including calls for improved undergraduate education and increased technological literacy for all students. Another unfamiliar challenge is the increasing need for engineering departments to maintain stable levels of enrollment. Two year or community colleges are faced with additional demands to maintain an affordable and academically appropriate gateway into higher education and a viable means of transferring into four year programs. In achieving an effective engineering course, laboratory projects are universally identified as a key component. However creating and operating laboratories for large enrollment classes is a demanding task especially in the community college environment. To address these needs, this work investigates the feasibility of developing and shipping self-contained laboratories in a box. This will allow institutions to borrow, rent, or lease rather than own the equipment. The laboratories are intended to be completely self-contained so that all materials arrive in a single box in ready-to-use condition. This will minimize the preparation time for instructors. These laboratories are suitable for use in either introduction to engineering courses or courses on engineering topics for non-engineers. The laboratories attempt to utilize insights from non-engineering students to determine themes that help to make the laboratories appealing to both non-engineers and those students who have self-selected into engineering. Key themes include using material that focuses on technology familiar to the students in their everyday life, use of extensive verbal and graphical explanations, and inclusions of practical information that helps to establish a sense of empowerment regarding technology. Eight laboratory projects are being created and tested in both two or four year schools. Results will be presented from work done during the 2009-2010 academic year.Â
