Discussion in the paper will focus on the following: • The resurgence of advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and the resultant need for a highly skilled engineering education workforce at the sub-Bachelor’s level • The state of career and technical education in the U.S. at the sub-Bachelor’s level Page 24.859.2 • The state of career and technical education in Austria at the sub

The students were asked a list of questions from three categories to measure their interestin science: general interest, career interest, and enjoyment which listed in Appendix B. All thestudents displayed some positive levels interest in science both before and after the program, Page 24.63.10with their average median scores of 4.484, 4.584, and 4.954 in the three interests in science,respectively (general interest, career, interest, and enjoyment).

The class was originally designed and taught with 10 -20 studentsfor several years. The class was redesigned to include better learning assessmentmethods and student engagement techniques. This article will talk about how theclass was redesigned to keep the students engaged but also make the classpersonal and useful to each student’s expectations and career growth. II.

engineering technology programs, it is not so common in other disciplines like industrialdistribution (ID) even if they are housed in a traditional engineering/ engineering technologydepartment. A part of the problem is that many people (both students and instructors alike)perceive ID as “Technical Sales only” major. However, the ID curriculum is comprised ofseveral courses in logistics, supply chain management, quality, and several engineering andcommon body of knowledge (CBK) courses. Likewise, many ID graduates pursue career paths inoperations and supply chain management, not just technical sales.This paper presents a case study of experiential learning model in a senior level undergraduateclass in industrial distribution program at Texas A&M

Thehighest ranked strategy was the one with product-oriented and laboratory-based content. Thesecond highest rank was for strategy using technology focus, and the lowest was for strategy thatrelied heavily on classroom orientation.Having hands-on laboratory is one condition, but the laboratory practices should be relevant toprepare graduates for their manufacturing career.

In this way we stimulated students further toseek research activities based on their personal or career interests through open-ended problem solving,interdisciplinary projects, offering them a great opportunity to “try-out” at a smaller scale a “capstonetype” projects. Students enriched constantly their knowledge and they proved critical thinking andcreativity. Some of the main drawbacks pointed out by the students include the fact that since thedevices are extremely small it is difficult at times for all students to directly work hands-on with theexperiment and hence it may be better suited for an

, conducted acomparative analysis of ethics courses taught at several US business schools in which the casemethod was utilized. Colby and Sullivan (2008) reported that that in almost all schools theystudied, the primary goal of the ethics course was to teach the professional codes of ethics, whichinclude: public safety, health and welfare, and protection of environment; loyalty to bothemployer and customers; fairness; intellectual properties of others; conflicts of interest; anddiscrimination and unfair competition. Chan et al. (2012) describe entrepreneurship,professionalism, and leadership as three key aspects of today’s engineering careers which areincreasingly becoming “boundaryless”.Leadership education has also garnered immense attraction
