critical and timely technical and non-technical skills will be identified by workingclosely with industry partners and then will be incorporated across the curriculum, including innon-technical courses. This comprehensive approach will allow the required competencies to beintroduced and emphasized in courses in order to support students’ development throughout theireducational pathway. An example of such a course specifically designed to focus on bothtechnical and non-technical skills is RCBC’s SOC-160 course, Society, Ethics, and Technology.This course provides students with a framework for understanding the ways in which technologyaffects society and to further understand the social, ethical, global, environmental, andprofessional

Program was originally founded through the Center for EnergyEfficient Electronics Science, and has since branched to multiple disciplines includedbiotechnology and robotics. TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics
