[5, 7]. Engineering graduates pursue careers in theoreticaldesign, and research and development [1]. Meanwhile, engineering technology graduates oftenenter construction, product design, manufacturing, or testing [7]. Figure 1. Hands-on Continuum for Engineering Technology [8].Despite the curriculum differences, graduates of ABET-accredited four-year engineeringtechnology programs in several states are qualified to become licensed professional engineerswith verifiable proof of competency [7, 9]. One earns licensure upon passing the Fundamentalsof Engineering (FE) exam and the Principles of Practice of Engineering (PE) exam through theNational Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCESS) alongside providingproof of

of ergonomics in the industry has become significantly important nowadays, especiallyfor designing a workstation. The purpose of ergonomics application in industry is to make the workplacebest fit for the workers to ensure their comfort and safety. It impacts the workers’ satisfaction, reduces thenumber of injuries and production rate. To maximize the safety and productivity of a workingenvironment, an ergonomic approach must evaluate every aspect of the workplace and appropriatelyimplement rules, guidelines, and plans. This paper addressed an injury risk in the manufacturing industryand proposed multiple solutions to resolve injury and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk. The injuryrisks include bare skin exposure to sparks while grinding

and practice from mathematics, science,and technology. The term “design” is used because problem solutions typically require thecreation or modification of artifacts or procedures used by humans in dealing with the physicalenvironment.One common method in engineering design courses is Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach.PBL is a teaching method in which complex real-world problems can promote student learningof concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts. In addition tocourse content, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solvingabilities, and communication skills. It can also provide opportunities for working in groups,finding and evaluating research materials, and life

Goal 1:Expand the number and diversity of academically talented and financially disadvantagedindividuals entering the Engineering Technology STEM pipeline; recruit and retain theseindividuals in STEM programs. Goal 2: Add to the body of knowledge regarding best practicesin engineering technology education and promote the employment of engineering technologygraduates. And Goal 3: Contribute to research on self-efficacy and best practices. A first-yearprogress report was previously presented at ASEE [1]. Currently, the project is in the third yearhaving successfully graduated one student who is employed in a STEM field of study

favored face-to-face courses over onlinemodality. The preferred modality was directly tied to the course makeup, for example, time ofthe day offered, how many times a week is offered, topics of the course, and informationavailable for the online course. Using an equivalent face-to-face and online course modalitycomparison, Aragon et al. [11] found that course performance was not impacted by instructionmodality. If hybrid and online courses are well designed and carried out intentionally, the coursecan be successful in engaging a positive student attitude [11], [12]. The COVID-19 pandemicobliges us to implement a rapid transition towards hybrid and online teaching modalities that didnot allow the time required to create a well-intentionally

Overview of the Engineering Technology ProgramHistoryManufacturing in the state this engineering technology program is offered has continued to growin productivity and add value by automating processes and focusing on high-value productionactivities. Due to the automation, job roles in manufacturing have become more important forproduction and require a higher level of skill sets. For example, many traditional roles can bereplaced with the robotics coordinator. These high-skill jobs pay well, offer exceptional benefitsand high-tech environment. The
