only in producing more,but also in reducing its waste through the reduction of variability. A technology that supports theprocess improvements and the evolution of quality inspection plans is the Coordinate MeasuringMachine (CMM). Many companies are adopting such technology due to the high precision andrepeatability of these machines. However, they require specialists for their operation with a newset of skills that combine Metrology, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Geometric Dimensioningand Tolerancing (GD&T), Computer Programming and Problem Solving.The Engineering Technology Department at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley(UTRGV) has created a curriculum that includes the development of such skills and hasequipped its metrology

This cadet-led project required geotechnical, hydrologic, and structuralengineering analyses and design prior to construction of the bridge, as well as the application ofconstruction engineering and management principles and methods throughout the planning andconstruction process. The cadet team followed Forest Service design parameters, includingmaking the bridge both wide enough and strong enough to accommodate ATVs for search andrescue missions. The bridge was also designed to accommodate the approximately 30,000 annualhikers on the popular McCullough Gulch trail.

The Hammond campus had alwayshad individual projects while the Westville campus (which only started offering the Bachelor ofScience in CEMT in 2009) had started using a team project approach. The team projects alsoinvolved members of the Industrial Advisory Board, as well as other members of theconstruction industry, to help plan and evaluate the projects.

Besides academic planning, advisors help students withcareer goals, choice of major, field of specialization, degree requirements, general educationrequirements, academic policies and procedures, student petitions, and even provide supportwhen students are in academic difficulty.National data shows that approximately 60% of students leave engineering during their first-year(Marcus, 2012). Several studies have identified various reasons why students leave engineeringand do not earn degrees in engineering (Cairncross, VanDeGrift, Jones, & Chelton, 2015; Meyer,2014; Marra, Rodgers, Shen, & Bogue, 2012).

From these conversations, some key takeawaysincluded the student’s lack of being able to develop a Production Part Approval Process plan,design fixtures to hold parts or measuring instruments during the inspection process,misunderstanding of data in control charts, and inability to complete a design of experiments.With this in mind, manufacturing and quality engineers from local injection molding companiesand small machine shops were asked about donating parts (good and bad), as well as theassociated mechanical drawings, for students to use as part of class projects.

When asked which business areas will be affected most due to the talent shortage,more than three-fourths of manufacturing executives believe the greatest impact of the skillsshortage will be in maintaining or increasing production levels (in line with customer demand)and implementing new technologies while achieving productivity targets.

According to ABET accreditation Criteria 3 – Student Outcomes(2), the student must demonstrate an ability to apply written, oral and graphical communicationin both technical and non-technical environments as one requirement for accreditation for STEMappropriate programs (p 3). Even with that requirement, college degree programs continue toproduce STEM-oriented graduates who cannot write simple technical reports or other technicallyoriented documentation, such as system requirements, system specifications, development plans,test plans, test results, or even simple trip reports.
