), students enter 24 months of co-op placement/on-line learning, returning to the institutionafter 12 months and 24 months for one-week examination periods (See Figure 2.).Figure 2. Co-op Program ModelThe motivations to start the new program come from a desire to move towards work-basedlearning, empowering student engineers to gain more practical experience while funding a largerpercentage of their own education than through a traditional engineering education. Theevolution of learning technologies empowers the attainment of this goal more so today than inthe recent past. A further motivation is developing a model that can potentially impact the lack ofdiversity in the engineering profession. The demographic of community college students

Thismassive undertaking requires a significant paradigm shift in technologies, economics, and socio-politics. As industrial and technological leaders, engineers will be at the forefront of thistransition thus requiring a holistic approach to the energy transition problem.

by anoverview of the context in which this study took place. We then present an analysis of the surveydata we collected that examines how students at our university conceptualize energy.Literature ReviewThe current body of literature in energy education explores not only the pedagogical aspects, butalso the nature of energy education. Energy is a foundational concept and is taught in manydifferent contexts, both within engineering and more broadly in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). As we reviewed this literature, three major questions emerged:how do we define energy? (ontology), how do students conceptualize energy? (epistemology),and how do we teach energy? (pedagogy).An Ontological Question: How do we define energy?Energy

This ensures that graduates from any engineering school are able to work as professionalengineers even in any country, especially now when borders and jobs are more fluid andinternational. The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) has InformationLiteracy Standards for Science and Engineering/Technology which parallel and enhance thestandards for the ABET and CEAB graduate attributes for engineering programs [in Criterion 3and Graduate Attributes 3.1, respectively].
