incorporating additional skills like self-reflection and emotionalintelligence into the engineering curriculum.IntroductionIt is generally known that soft skills are necessary to support a successful career. Employers havecontinually voiced concerns about college students not being ready for the demands of theworkplace in terms of their personal and team-based soft skills. As a result, we focused ourefforts to design and implement a set of soft skills modules that can be seamlessly integrated intothe technical curriculum. This paper focuses on development and delivery of such soft skillmodules at the high school level to help prepare students for college and careers.After receiving grant funding from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, the cross

Bridge and Internship ProgramsAbstractUndergraduate students need exposure, initiation, motivation, and guidance to develop anorientation toward research that will benefit them not only in their capstone projects but also intheir future careers. Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) made such an opportunity availableto the rising junior and senior students of the Engineering Technology program.Fifteen rising junior students were selected to participate in the summer bridge program, and fourrising junior and senior students were selected to participate in a summer internship program atthe Coast Guard's aircraft facility. The project's scope was to engage students in designing,prototyping, and fabricating Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAVs) and

pieces of communications technology while conducting a lecture. Addressingquestions in person through a raised hand while concurrently tracking camera feeds of remoteclassrooms and raised hands in Zoom is mentally taxing and can slow the pace of lectures. Somestudents are not comfortable with asking questions during a lecture, which means more timemust be allocated after the lecture to address questions from remote students who prefer to hold adiscussion without such a large (multi-campus) audience. One participant indicated that teachinga multi-campus requires an additional 30 minutes before and after each scheduled lecture.Early career instructors also suffer hardship through student evaluations of teaching in multi-campus courses.

educational institutions to incorporate this technology intotheir curriculum. This ensures that students are adequately prepared with the skills and knowledgeneeded for future career opportunities. One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts. In this paper, we present a semester-long project designed for a new AM course offered atUniversity A to
