andautomation areas. These statistics clearly show there is a skill gap between industry needs andwhat current curriculum offers at community college levels and other levels. To fill these skillgap there is a need for industry driven curriculum development and this project reflected thoseissues. Driven by the program objectives, the Old Dominion University (ODU) and CCAMteam developed an approach to formulate the curriculum and courses. Since the mechatronicsprograms are mature, the approach for this project was to piggy-back on these programs tointroduce robotics technology programs into the current offerings. Mechatronics is aninterdisciplinary area of engineering that combines mechanical and electrical engineering and

development inyouth is the degree to which one has explored and committed to a vocation we posit thatachieving an engineering identity includes: crisis—i.e., a time when one’s values and choices arebeing examined and reevaluated, and commitment—when the outcome of a crisis leads to acommitment made to becoming an engineer. This time, of crisis and commitment occurs foryouth during their middle and high school years. Engineering Identity scores reflect the extent towhich a student self-identifies as an engineer. Students provided responses to 15 items, using a5-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree; lower scores indicatehigher engineering identities.

This new methodology can help decisionmakers to identify what knowledge or information should be considered when implementing anintervention, then they can decide who should participate and how this participation should takeplace.

The Fall 19 training session began with a warm-up activity where participants were asked to map out their social identities (e.g. race, age, gender, language, etc.) and reflect on how their most salient social identities may influence how their students/mentees may perceive them, and how they may present themselves. This warm-up activity included asking the participants (mentors), to reflect about their own experiences in interacting with their mentors while they were navigating their higher education experience, and to

I.e., do sessions bring clientscloser to our standards for a given communication task, which are informed by both rhetoricalprinciples and real-world field standards? To do so, we designed a quantitative, rubric-based,pre-post evaluation of authentic writing products: drafts for graduate school and graduatefellowship applications, assessed by authentic evaluators -- a team of our own peer coaches.

Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4].

Student assessment should be based on their individual reflection of their own learning progress and their contributions to the collective learning process. 5. Source of Knowledge and Information: Our students have numerous information sources (books, articles, search engines, blogs, MOOCS etc...). We cannot act as subject matter experts any more. But we will need to play the role of integrator/mentor/coach so all the information can be optimally used. 6. Setting for Learning: Learning is a social activity.

However, external factors can play an important role on students career aspirations[15].
