appeals to students of all ages, fostering an interest in STEM subjectswhile encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. This paper describes aweek-long engineering summer camp program designed for middle and high school students in2023 at East Tennessee State university (ETSU). The main goal of the camp was to introducestudent engineering, programs in the department and job prospects and to spark their interest inpursuing engineering education and career. During the camp students engaged in hands-onlearning experiences and featured lessons focusing on 3D scanning, drone technologies, 3Dprinting, circuitry, robot building, and prototyping. Students also learned about ETSU admissionprocesses, educational programs, financial aid

Engineering Technology CurriculumAbstract Creation of micro-credentials in higher education allows practitioners to add a new skillfor career advancement or change, as well as working toward a degree by stacking them. After thecompletion of GE’s Wind Turbine Technical Training Program, Farmingdale State College facultycreated a " Wind Energy" micro-credential focused on Wind Turbine operation and design. Thisprogram covers an array of topics that mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering students cantake. While creating this micro-credential program, the College followed the success stories ofwind turbine professionals. Furthermore, Farmingdale State College was able to secure grants andbuild a state-of-the-art wind turbine technology

The extensive career opportunities in a wide variety of industries have beendemanding hands-on experience from the graduates of engineering technology program. Recentstudies on the engineering work force demonstrated the need for communication skills in additionto technical knowledge. One way of achieving these employer-desired skills is by incorporatingproject-based learning in the upper-level classes of the engineering technology program. Thispaper will present a detailed study of implementing project-based learning technique in a senior-level class of the engineering technology program.

Engineering and Engineering Technology by the Numbers [3] published that there were14,312 degrees awarded in the year 2019 alone. These degrees come from 111 institutions thatgrant Engineering Technology degrees [3]. Despite the considerable number of degrees awardedin Engineering Technology disciplines, there is little research conducted on the experiences ofEngineering Technology students.Like Engineering Science degree earners, Engineering Technology students may test forprofessional engineering licensure in 35 states. Although the procedures in testing for a licensemay vary, Engineering Technology graduates may pursue careers as professional engineers

Instead, students can access course materials andcomplete assignments at their convenience. This contrasts with synchronous online learning, inwhich students and instructors must attend class sessions at a predetermined time. Asynchronousonline learning has many advantages over synchronous online learning in areas of flexibility,accessibility, and scalability. In addition, asynchronous online learning can also be
