colleges and universities work to align training and degree programs with the needs of high-growth industries, students will benefit from clearly articulated and cost-effective pathways inboth two-year colleges and four-year universities for a baccalaureate degree. These pathways,often modeled on established formulas, must include and emphasize competencies most valuedby industry throughout the entire curriculum. The valued competencies must encompass bothhard and soft skills which have been identified as necessary for success in industry. This paperdetails the beginning efforts of a multi-year project between a two-year college (Rowan Collegeat Burlington County) and a four-year university (Rowan University) to create curriculum,academic programs

) offerscutting edge research projects to community college students, hosted by the University ofCalifornia. The overall goal of the TTE REU program is to increase the number of communitycollege students transferring to a 4 year school to earn a bachelors in science and engineering.TTE REU has been operating since 2011 and has hosted 66 community college students. EachTTE participant is placed in a faculty member’s lab and mentored closely by a graduate studentfor their nine-week internship. This paper will focus on the impact this program has had on theparticipants through a follow up study with the students hosted in 2012, 2013, and 2014. All TTEREU participants were surveyed and asked to evaluate how the program has impacted them inthe short term. TTE

smaller class size that provides additional educational support. Most of these studentsstart their education program by enrolling in an Associate of Arts (AA) degree. These programs,however, often are not specifically designed to transfer into an engineering Bachelor of Sciencedegree program.According to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, out of a total of 126 occupationslisted for 2024 growth projection, 16% of the top 25 are engineering [1]. Of the total occupationsrequiring a bachelor's degree, 13% are in engineering [1]. Those employed with a bachelor'sdegree in engineering comprise 23% of the top one-half of the median average and 13% of thetop quarter median wage earners [1]. Thus, engineering is one of the highest paying and

to the development of academic programs, several other educational options werealso created as part of this partnership. The first of these is to provide stand-alone, non-creditworkshops to train and certify students from other institutions, industry representatives, anddisplaced workers. Workshops have also been created to train educators at both the K-12 andpostsecondary levels on the use of robotic arms and the role the field of robotics plays in science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. This activity is aimed at broadening thescope of the project beyond just Bay College and Michigan Tech University through improvingthe quality of industrial robotics education at other area institutions.
