the program is new, regional campuses had to explore outreach strategies and attractstudents to the major. One of the strategies was to have an overlap between engineering andengineering technology programs for the first year. This overlap of coursework would allowcampuses to retain students and offer opportunity for students to explore engineering technologymajor and make an informed decision on which educational path to take. First-year courses suchas physics, fundamentals of engineering and general education courses remain same forengineering and engineering technology students. In addition to these courses, new courses weredeveloped to teach introductory topics in engineering technology in the first year. Thecurriculum is shared with the

future career than non-ETS honors students.This paper investigates the student experience in the ETS-IMPRESS program in three ways. Tocapture student experience of the use of the IDP and the faculty mentor relations, we solicitedlong-form responses to anonymous surveys. Analysis of reflections submitted in courses andcomponents allows for a window into longitudinal student development as well as their directreflections on the effects of the program. Finally, analysis of student questionnaires, a full reportof which appears as an appendix, sheds light on student development. We find that studentsbenefit from this program and encourage the incorporation of IDPs and other means of reflectioninto engineering curricula, particularly as a regular

remotely are not fully meeting ABET course outcomes nor are they being adequately prepared for their internships and post-graduation jobs not having had the experiences normally obtained in the MET program. e. When classes started in person, Spring 21, for many of the students, it was the first in-person lecture they had attended in almost a year. Feedback from those students and their professors indicates teaching in person in a classroom is a much better, more authentic experience than remote instruction. Student feedback about in-person class and lab is largely positive because of the amount of interaction between students and faculty. f. I am concerned that

Findings from thestudy illustrated how students were able to develop core competencies such as in CAD-CAMwhile characterizing the kinds of mistakes that students make in developing said competencies.We conclude on the illustration of a future iteration of an M3 curriculum, one where thechallenges students typically face in CAD-CAM are purposefully woven into the assignmentsthemselves, serving as a way to provoke awareness and improvement in skill development.Introduction‘Making through Micro-Manufacturing’ (M3 ) [1, 2] provides a model of how to couple theflexibility of ‘Making’ with the concerns of production engineering. Such an approach inproduction emphasizes customizability and personalization in product design. Because of

In this paper, thesenior level courses specific to communication systems area of concentration within an electricalengineering technology program are discussed, their course content and the term projectsincluded, and how they offer venues to capstone project choices. The paper presents specificexamples of how these course projects gave students successful pathways for capstone projects.The course content that can be covered by the curriculum of an undergraduate technologyprogram is somehow limited, especially for a broad field such as communication systems, andbeyond the fundamental
