The EET program is collaborating with GEAviation to offer a graduate certificate in Test Engineering. This certificaterepresents a good model of collaboration between industry and academia. Thedemand for electrical and computer engineers who are equipped with testengineering skills continue to rise. Unfortunately, the curriculum has not yet“caught up” to industry needs and the role of academia in meeting industryexpectation of test engineering skills has not been sufficient. Only a fewuniversities have test engineering incorporated in their curriculum. To meet thisgoal, the School of Technology is stepping up to this challenge and

Students from highly populated areas have moreopportunities in the educational system to explore in-depth access to STEM versus students frommore rural areas. This is related to the availability of qualified staff and resources in the ruralschool system. Socioeconomic status has an influence on how students pursue STEM.While the opportunities for students in lower socioeconomic areas are less, they are more likelyto pursue higher education and careers in STEM fields.

One research study conductedhighlighted that many college students have anxiety when it comes to solving simple additionand subtraction problems. Within this study, the researcher noted that research participants hadvarying emotions when responding to given math problems ranging from sadness to happiness[1]. The goal of this study was to examine math anxiety in varying scenarios, not solelyacademic related. Participants of Ashcraft’s [1] study had to determine whether a mathematicalstatement was accurate.

This encouragement wasnot really necessary, because most came to terms with their geekness before graduating fromhigh school and naturally chose those career paths out of a love of technology.Ancient geek culture developed in this way partly because electronic technology was accessibleto any curious person. The parts (resistors, capacitors, transistors, tubes, etc.) were large enoughto easily see and handle, and circuits (like the classic five-tube radio) were relatively simple.Expensive test equipment could be done without, or could be borrowed from an Elmer.
