developing an energy efficient system for remote lighting control which continuesto save the college energy and money.Another group of Energy Interns designed and built a bicycle powered generator fordemonstration purposes. Realizing that the kinesthetic experience of pedaling to light LEDbulbs and tungsten bulbs is a memorable exercise in energy efficiency, the students builtthe Energy Bike and donated it with documentation and curriculum to a local high schoolto inspire future college students to study physics and engineering and to be more energyefficient.Solar InternsThe Solar Interns learned through hands-on projects how to site and install solarphotovoltaic panels. After their month-long program they formed study groups to preparefor the North

. This course has been developed and is taught by faculty from bothdepartments. The course includes the use of discrete components and FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGA). A set of custom hardware components have beendeveloped that can be interfaced to an FPGA and a microcontroller. Instructional videoshelp students prepare for laboratory exercises and the course concludes with a finaldesign-build project.The overall goal of this project is to teach students how to work in multi-disciplinaryteams and to make it easier for students to switch between AS and AAS programs. ACapstone Design course is being developed where small teams comprised of PrecisionMachining, Engineering Science, and Computer Technology students will solve asemester long

the workforce needs of the metro-Denver region’s high growthindustries. Aims Community College (Aims) and Arapahoe Community College (ACC)collaborated to form the CATEP partnership. The primary goal of the project was to strengthenthe Computer Information System (CIS) introductory curriculum at both institutions, along withassociated Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, to better prepare technicians for theworkforce.Vetting of employability skillsThe integration of employability (soft) skills with the technical skills employers report they needfor their ICT workforce served as the foundation for curricular design and implementation.While employability skills may be categorized in many different ways, for the purpose of theCATEP

statistically overwhelming and this partnershiphas provided a collaborative opportunity to identify and remove academic, administrative, andtransfer barriers in-situ. As the engineering academy model is being created and refined throughthe research literature, the three main goals of the academies remain: 1) increase theparticipation and graduation of underrepresented groups interested in pursuing an engineeringdegree, 2) provide an immediate impact on the STEM workforce by minimizing the time tograduation through curriculum alignment between the two- and four- year institution, and 3)increase the number of awarded Associate degrees.The authors plan to expand the engineering academy model across Texas, while continuing tocontribute to the literature on

period. As the field of electronics technology entered themicroelectronics era, courses about integrated circuits, microprocessors, and digital logic wereadded to the biomedical curriculum to keep up with the rapidly changing technology. As wastypical of that stage in the evolution of electronics, the curriculum was extremely “parts centric”since biomedical (and electronics) technicians were expected to repair electronics based medicalequipment by troubleshooting faults/problems to the part/device level. This popular program ransuccessfully for approximately three decades during which time most of the medical facilities inwestern Massachusetts and regions in surrounding states (i.e. middle to north-central Connecticutand southern Vermont

ofwhat to expect when we encounter something new14. Conceptual knowledge is theunderstanding or interpretation one may have about concepts. This can then be carried into futuresituations, providing the holder with an idea of what to expect in that situation15. Conceptualknowledge can be related to the “Understanding” level of Bloom’s Taxonomy16. While thislevel is not often considered to be difficult for students, it is one of the foundations of higherlearning. Higher thought is likely to be clouded if that foundation is weak, unclear, ormisunderstood15. When concepts are well-understood, students are often able to explain relatedproblems, make inferences from the problem, integrate other ideas, predict outcomes and applyconceptual knowledge to

hasspecific objectives that will support these goals. They are: (1) develop and maintain an effectiveliaison between BRCC and LSU; (2) utilize scholars to develop a peer ambassador/mentorprogram facilitating transfer success; (3) establish and conduct a pre-transfer academiccounseling program; (4) expand existing seminars to orient and integrate BRCC and othertransfer students into LSU and (5) invite BRCC math, science and engineering faculty toparticipate in ongoing Faculty Development.Activities of the program to date have included outreach, professional development, advising,and developing an overall assessment tool. All scholars participated in outreach activities thatconsisted of Peer-to-Peer talks at BRCC each semester and Shadow Days at LSU
