-Dimensional learning which highlights how science learning takes place through theholistic and integrated learning of disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, andcross-cutting concepts [1]. Within these three dimensions, the science and engineering practiceshave been a focal point for pre-college science curriculum and instructional reform because oftheir emphasis on learning the ways scientists and engineers conduct their professional work [2].With an emphasis on what it means to do scientific inquiry and engineering design, the scienceand engineering practices place the learning of science knowledge in relation to the work ofscience and engineering. The use of engineering design-based tasks offers one pedagogical approach

Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done

In the lab, students designed and implemented digital logic-basedcontrols for a typical manufacturing operation. The students participating in the lab experimentswere seniors majoring in mechatronics and/or industrial engineering. The mechatronics studentshad previous experiences with building digital circuits while their fellow students from industrialengineering did not. First, the students were divided into pairs where each industrial engineeringstudent was paired with a mechatronics student. As the students were creating and

While this result highlighted a key benefit of completing anindustrial internship, it also indicated a gap between the communication skills taught in theclassroom and those required of a career in industry.To begin to address this gap, a workshop was developed to teach students key communicationskills that are required for success in industry.

In these models, as inother initiatives in competency-based education, a student moves through the curriculum essentiallyat their own pace. Once they have demonstrated mastery of a topic, say by performance on a test orother assessment device, they are free to move on to the next topic. Students who do not demonstratethis mastery are given reinforcement, before being assessed again. The
