RTOS and introduce basic theoretic topics intheir microcontroller courses. As a result, students who have a good understanding of theory andconcepts of RTOS do not have the opportunity to map their knowledge onto real-worldimplementations. To bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and concreteimplementations, an embedded RTOS educational platform has been established for EETstudents in the Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&MUniversity as well as in the Engineering Technology program at Northern Kentucky University.This paper only focuses on hardware design and development of the embedded RTOS platform.The laboratory curriculum development and student learning outcomes/feedback will

project objective is to promote electrical and computer engineering technologyeducation in sustainability topics. The sources of sustainable power such as wind and solarsystems today primarily utilize power electronics as an enabling technology. Therefore, teachingpower electronics and associated technology in an engaging manner will eventually serve thisobjective. The proposed teaching methodology includes a portable lab bench, which is capable ofperforming various lab activities that support the lecture module sequence related tosustainability topics presented in the class. The lab activities are not intended to be exhaustivebut simple enough to stimulate student interest in the topic. The activities that are selected fromCUSP™ curriculum

Session CEED 432German University Changes• Bologna Structure – splitting the former “Diplom” into Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree• Before the split, companies were required to provide internships to “Diplom” students as part of an integrated academic requirement for students to graduate with the “Diplom” , so placing interns was basically on “auto-pilot” and not as challenging• After the split, it became increasingly more complicated for students to get co-ops as companies were no longer required to provide co-ops under German law Proceedings of the 2018 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2018 American Society for Engineering Education

beginners in the fall of 2017. Immediately behind isa new major called Transdisciplinary Studies in Engineering Technology slated to beginaccepting students in the fall of 2018. The unique features of the program and are 1) studentscreate their own plan of study with the help of an advisor and faculty mentor, 2) the student’sjourney is highly faculty mentored, and 3) the program is competency-based. To progress andgraduate, students must demonstrate their developmental proficiency of approximately 30competencies spread across 8 broad competency families. This presentation will motivate anddescribe novel integrative learning experiences created to enhance competency development.The presentation will also demonstrate the early developmental work of

education and STEM. Some of the activities include:  Robotics Workshops: For the past six years, the faculty in ETID have offered summer workshops for junior high and high school students. These workshops focus on the design of the mechanical and embedded control of an autonomous mobile robot.  Summer Teacher Programs: Faculty have led multiple programs focused on junior high and high school teachers designed to support their interest in integrating STEM, and in particular engineering, into their classrooms.  Education Research: Faculty in ETID have funding from multiple sources including an NSF ITEST project for promoting STEM education and careers in the K-12 environment.  Other Interactions

IntroductionMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) capstone experiences are tasked to develop studentcompetencies in applying technical and non-technical skills via the design, implementation, andtesting of projects [1]. In 2015, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) revised MET program outcomes such that MET capstone projects should ideally bemultidisciplinary in nature [2]. The desired

advanced robotics curriculum that aligned with that of its university partner.Even with grant funding, creating separate academic programs to meet each of the diverserequests from area employers was impractical. Instead, Bay College and Michigan TechUniversity aimed to create a single program that contained elements of each employer request.For example, rather than creating an entire program surrounding the need for graduates with anelectronics skillset, and yet another program focusing on hydraulics and pneumatics, a singleprogram would be created that included introductory coursework in each of these areas and thatallowed students to customize the remainder of their educational experience to the specificindustry or employer they wanted to target

and with speed. An example of new innovation is co-design.Co-design is working collaboratively with others that involve leadership tasks where theunleashing and harnessing talent and great ideas are promulgated. To have innovation, theremust be integrative problem-solving, creative abrasion and creative agility. All of these aspectsare found in an engineering technology program. Creative abrasion is part of an institution’sculture where constructively challenging ideas are accepted. Leadership for innovation is oftenmore of an effort in leading the individual from behind versus from a frontal form of leadership.The goal is to work on shaping the individual to have P-20 experiences that will fosterinnovation rather than about setting
