Paper ID #36852Creating a Nature-Inspired Entrepreneurially Minded ManufacturingPodcast to Bolster Technical Communication SkillsDr. Thomas Lucas, Purdue University Dr. Lucas’ primary goal as a professor is to engage with students in the classroom and inspire them to develop their passion, understanding, and appreciation for STEM-based research and industry roles. This is accomplished by providing well-crafted and innovative learning experiences in engineering tech- nology courses and through extracurricular outreach. His research background is in 3D (out-of-plane) micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor and actuator

always kept in mind three mainconsiderations. First, even though the minor is offered by the mechatronic department, it shouldbe developed for students enrolled in the following bachelor's degree programs: mechatronicsengineering, robotics and digital systems, electronics engineering, and mechanical engineering.Second, the minor must be focused on the needs of the students and local industry [4]. Third, theoverall academic minor consists of 18 credits equivalent to 400 hours.Therefore, the design process of the minor began with brainstorming a list of learning outcomes[16]; this, to empower interested students in control engineering concepts and to conductexperimental work in the unmanned aerial vehicle areas. Thus, at the end of the course

This further demonstrates the need to not overuse student engagementtechniques such as PBL [2], suggesting a balanced pedagogy approach should be taken.Looking at the examples and trends presented the questions are: 1. How does this translate to engineering technology? 2. How does this translate to a regional campus that historically has a large population offirst-generation students and commuter students?These are a couple of the many questions that come to mind when starting to look at theliterature when considering designing a FYET

toprepare the students with practical skills that are directly applicable to the industry. With thisgoal in mind, a seamless integration of the RF courses into the program curriculum should bedevised. One of the ways to implement the necessary courses seamlessly is to use technicalelectives allowed in the program curriculum to teach the necessary RF engineering courses. Thisapproach minimizes the impact of creating the RF engineering program on the existingcurriculum. Figure 1: RF Curriculum OverviewEven with RF engineering courses as technical electives, it would not be easily feasible to add allthe traditional RF engineering courses to the degree programs due to the restriction on themaximum number of credits for a

While the ET curricula also contain coursesin engineering sciences, these courses are redesigned with an application focus in mind to teachstudents how concepts from engineering sciences are applied in practice [1].Although there are differences in the training of engineering technology graduates as comparedto that of their engineering counterparts, there is a significant overlap in the career trajectories ofthe two degrees.
