best practices in educationwith a focus on creativity and teaching (Aurora Public Schools, 2017). Since research isperformed to disseminate information so that others can share in and study the results presented.The study will seek to identify solutions which will be durable and will provide long-termsuccess. Within P-20 programs research is important to identify solutions in education. Incommunity leadership research an emphasis on providing solutions to support non-profit and for-profit businesses. The P-20 researcher should also publish the results of their investigations. Byimplementing both qualitative and quantitative methods, P-20 researchers will advanceeducational research. Regardless of the method used, the three primary goals

that are important for other institutions to consider when attempting toreplicate such a partnership.Overview of the ProgramBay College and Michigan Tech successfully collaborated on a grant proposal to the NSF fortheir Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant, which was awarded for a total projectcost of $702,324. Much of these expenses were dedicated towards personnel costs to developrobotic simulation software, create curriculum, and design the articulation agreement betweenthe two institutions. Money was also reserved for stipends to be paid to workshop participants,travel to conferences and meetings, and instructor professional development. In order to trulyalign the curriculum, however, Bay College needed to purchase several robotic

technicians and design engineers to form technological teams that produce the technological advances we see in the present. The available and increasingly powerful and affordable technologies have been a big boost for small businesses. This also means that business owners need to choose from a huge amount of options and find the best ways to use technology to achieve their goals. Entrepreneurs face a variety of technological issues while developing their business. It is often interesting to have at disposal the possibility of a serious organization to help when problems come up. Thinking about this a private engineering school has established an office that provides engineering technology consultancy for small business companies, for

disciplines and warrantfurther study with a larger sample of ET students.While student GPA at graduation is a valid measure of how students perform in the classroom,not all learning is best measured by a graded, quantitative scale. To measure classroomperformance in a “non-graded” way, the “seriousness of purpose” measure was conceptualized.The measure is intended to evaluate the student’s ability to apply what he or she has learned inan open-ended and practical way. In engineering and ET fields, the senior capstone course iswhere theory and practice collide, so assessing students on their capstone performance is alogical way to measure classroom performance. The qualitative measure of “seriousness ofpurpose” provides an alternative way to measure
