ETD 545 Industry Informed Curriculum Development in Engineering Technology: Solar PV Planning and Installation Mohsen Azizi New Jersey Institute of TechnologyIntroductionThe power generation industry has been gradually switching from traditional fossil generators torenewable energy systems (RESs), which are more efficient and environmentally friendly, in thepast two decades. This trend has given rise to the job market demand for a new generation ofengineers and technicians from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields, who are

project focuses on engaging industry professionals to incorporate newlydeveloped experiential learning (EL) components in courses at the freshman, sophomore, juniorand senior levels (vertical integration) in the Construction Engineering and ManagementTechnology (CEMT) program at Purdue University Northwest (PNW). It is intended to includean integrated assessment and evaluation plan for continuous improvement.The EL components are designed to supplement classroom learning with real-world problemsolving, whose outcomes include professional communication, teamwork, self-guided learning,observation, and reflection. These components will also help students visualize a variety of field-based scenarios, including constraints and barriers to completing

In addition to simple,introductory applications of the board and basic programming, a code controlling temperatureand humidity for a simulated nuclear power plan was provided. The UNO board was insertedinto a 3D printed model of power plant, which was provided to each one of the teachersparticipating the workshop. Then, teachers implemented these modular lessons into theircurriculum, reaching out a diverse student population in North Texas at various grade levels attheir institutions.1.

This part of the survey provides valuable information onI4.0 status in Iowa as well as where it is expected to be in the near future.The purpose of developing a survey was to supplement the information CIRAS was alreadygathering on the nine primary categories of I4.0 with more detailed information following theframework proposed by Frank et al., [4]. This work aimed to explore more of the details withineach of the categories in I4.0 to better understand the status under each category.

The workshop had three parts. The first part highlighted current states oftextbooks, increased cost of instructional materials over the last decade and the effects of highcost instructional materials on student learning. The values of OER to the students, instructorsand the institutions are also discussed in this part based on several major studies.
