• Lawrence J. Genalo began a "formal" program in K-12 Engineering Educational Outreach with an effort to recruit more students to the College of Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. It quickly grew to an educational program and continues to evolve into an integrated program for all age levels. The current components that form this integration include the following. Toying With Technology, created by Genalo (MSE) and Wright (ECE) and described separately below, provides K-12 students with hands-on lessons in design and computer-controlled robotics, often supervised by future teachers in a formal three credit engineering course (MatE 370). Collaborative efforts with Engineering Extension provide a bridge building exercise to upper elementary students. The high school age has programs involving all departments at ISU's College of Engineering aimed primarily at recruiting. One such program, Scholars' Day (created by Monica Bruning) and the Minority Preview to Scholars' Day (created by Genalo), has been particularly successful at recruiting high caliber students to the college. A distance education course introducing engineering applications of high school chemistry, physics, and math on the ICN was created by Genalo and continues to be offered in the fall semester each year.
  
  
• 1997-2004 Internet Explorers - Started with a NSF Grant in the summer of 1997 after prototyping during 1996, this program brought female high school students to campus for six full-time weeks of work during the summer. Genalo (MSE) and Athreya (PWSE) wrote the proposal and created the program. Genalo served as the coordinator and mentor. The program continued after the initial NSF one-year grant with support from GM, Square D, Microsoft, Lockheed-Martin, Proctor & Gamble, Goodrich-Delavan, the College of Engineering, and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

  As of 2002, nineteen of the first twenty interns have now completed three years of college, seventeen in engineering or science majors. All of the 1998-2000 interns, 46 of them, are now in college, most in engineering or science. The interns in this program, guided by undergraduate women, create web-based documents explaining engineering and science topics at the 6th grade reading level, thereby serving as mentors across the internet to younger girls. They have recently begun working more closely with industries to choose topics and create complete 6th grade lesson plans on the topics. Graduate and undergraduate women serve as role models, supervisors, and assessors for this program run in cooperation with the Program for Women in Science and Engineering
  
  

• 1994-present Toying With Technology - This program began as an outgrowth of Synthesis Coalition work performed by Genalo (MSE) and Wright (ECE) and faculty at other coalition schools (principally Dr. Auslander at UC Berkeley). After piloting exercises in Engr 160, a Miller Faculty Fellowship proposal was granted to Genalo and Wright to create a technology literacy course for future K-12 teachers. The course was first offered during Fall, 1997, and is now offered each semester to a growing audience. A recent $ 1.46 M grant awarded to the College of Education by the U.S. Department of Education to infuse technology in the teacher preparation curriculum includes this course as one component and allowed for the creation of a second course for the Toying With Technology program. The second course is at the graduate level and is offered during the summer so that practicing K-12 teachers can enroll. In the first two summers, 34 teachers have taken this course. Several of the schools represented by these teachers are now "partnered" with the Toying With Technology Program through grants of robotics kits given to their schools. Lesson plans, software, and student assistants are also being provided to these schools.
  
  

• 1992-present NSF/ASEE Collaborative Colloquia - This program provides an avenue for dissemination of the results of ILI, CCD, CCLI, and CRCD grants at ASEE Annual Conferences. Invitations are sent to previous years grantees in this program, abstracts and papers are received and reviewed, and two sessions are run at each annual conference in June. The program began when a NSF Program Director invited Genalo to submit a proposal for NSF to support the work already undertaken.
  
  
• 1991-98 Instructional Delivery Systems - Genalo was the national coordinator for Synthesis Coalition development of instructional delivery systems which resulted in consulting activities at each of the eight schools (Cal Poly SLO, Cornell, Hampton, ISU, Southern, Stanford, Tuskegee, and UC Berkeley) as they addressed classroom innovations in high-tech delivery. ISU rooms used for such delivery in Marston Hall were used as prototypes for work at several of these schools. Several NSF Synthesis Coalition grants over the years have helped to fund this and the following efforts.
  
  
• 1977-Present Instructional Courseware Development - In Engr160 and its predecessors, courseware lessons (first on VAX, then in Authorware on PCs, then in web-based and Powerpoint) have been used since the inception of the course in the early 1980s. Genalo was one of a committee of three (with Vogel and Hooper of AEEM) who created the original computerized lessons. This course was developed at the request of ABE (then AgE), AEEM (then AerE), and ME to integrate Fortran with the existing engineering problem solving course. Over the years more engineering departments selected this course until it became a college-wide requirement. In the mid-90s a second version of this course employing C language was developed. Courseware for that course was also developed. Combining the instructional delivery systems work from the Synthesis Coalition and this courseware development work created the modern delivery techniques employed in the Marston labs. As course coordinator, Genalo has been responsible for the continued development of this courseware.
