This paper describes aweek-long engineering summer camp program designed for middle and high school students in2023 at East Tennessee State university (ETSU). The main goal of the camp was to introducestudent engineering, programs in the department and job prospects and to spark their interest inpursuing engineering education and career. During the camp students engaged in hands-onlearning experiences and featured lessons focusing on 3D scanning, drone technologies, 3Dprinting, circuitry, robot building, and prototyping. Students also learned about ETSU admissionprocesses, educational programs, financial aid

Bridging the skill gap on one hand will improve energy access and on the other handcreate new jobs, providing employment opportunities to millions.Employment in the wind industry in the United States increased 32% from 2015 to 2016 [1] and5.6% from 2016 to 2017 compared to 1.8% and 1.6% in non-farm employment growth nationally[3].

This will give the students the next set of tools theyneed to solve the project for that given module. In addition, the first weeks of the semester willserve as onboarding to college, with freshman success workshops and career developmentactivities continually being incorporated.The hypothesis is that this approach will take the course from a refresher course to a trueintroduction to engineering technology. It is anticipated that a higher-level math student will stayengaged through the projects, and the application of teams will enable them to assist lower-levelmath students in learning

After thecompletion of GE’s Wind Turbine Technical Training Program, Farmingdale State College facultycreated a " Wind Energy" micro-credential focused on Wind Turbine operation and design. Thisprogram covers an array of topics that mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering students cantake. While creating this micro-credential program, the College followed the success stories ofwind turbine professionals. Furthermore, Farmingdale State College was able to secure grants andbuild a state-of-the-art wind turbine technology

The extensive career opportunities in a wide variety of industries have beendemanding hands-on experience from the graduates of engineering technology program. Recentstudies on the engineering work force demonstrated the need for communication skills in additionto technical knowledge. One way of achieving these employer-desired skills is by incorporatingproject-based learning in the upper-level classes of the engineering technology program. Thispaper will present a detailed study of implementing project-based learning technique in a senior-level class of the engineering technology program.

Instead, students can access course materials andcomplete assignments at their convenience. This contrasts with synchronous online learning, inwhich students and instructors must attend class sessions at a predetermined time. Asynchronousonline learning has many advantages over synchronous online learning in areas of flexibility,accessibility, and scalability. In addition, asynchronous online learning can also be
