Education and Training to Improve Preparedness and Increased Access to Energy Workforce for Engineering Technology GraduatesAbstractElizabeth City State University (ECSU) implemented a comprehensive education and trainingprogram to strengthen the renewable energy curriculum and increase the pipeline of qualifiedworkers, especially underrepresented minorities for the growing energy industry. Theoverarching goal is to meet the current and future energy industry workforce needs, especially inthe renewable energy sector. The project activities were designed based on three tenets, whichinclude mentoring, research, and education/training. The project components included,enhancing renewable energy courses, establishing a wind and solar energy

todevelop and employ innovative pedagogies to address the impediments to learning in an onlineenvironment. This proceeding describes the motivational impact on students from participatingin a semester-long asynchronous project to create a nature-inspired and entrepreneurially mindedpodcast in an online Engineering Technology course. The project's duration was intentionally anentire semester to encourage students to remain engaged in the overall course content. Thematicanalysis of student reflections indicates that participants were motivated in areas correspondingto Alderfer’s proposed categories of basic human needs: existence, relatedness, and growth. Theresults are presented and discussed concerning the motivational framework. Additionally

The proposed practical experiments and course projects, conducted on the MISL-ASEboards, empower students with invaluable insights and skills. Survey results from anonymousstudent feedback indicate heightened interest in microcontroller courses and improvements inhands-on knowledge and skills

Supported through a grant byStructural Engineer’s Association of Northern California, SFSU is progressively developing animmersive experience for trainees to explore a structure damaged from an earthquake event.Trainees will need to navigate around the structure and control their point-of-view to examinethe evidence of damage. Ultimately, the trainees must classify the structure based on acceptablelevel of occupancy access (i.e. red card - no access, yellow card - limited access, green card - okfor occupancy). This environment is being developed progressively with the first stage of workfocusing on a desktop version of this training. Through this project, three computer sciencegraduate

The coursewas being taught by assigning readings, in-class activities, homework, and a project assignedhalfway through the semester. The setup of the course led to two distinct eight-week coursesbeing combined into one. The first part attempted to address the heterogeneity of mathcapabilities which ranged from remedial math to calculus II, while the second part attempted toteach engineering technology fundamentals and Microsoft competency.

In response to this need, an exploratory study was conducted at asatellite campus of a large, Midwestern research-focused university. The intervention includedthe implementation of an entrepreneurially minded and communication-focused project,developed by the instructor of an upper-level undergraduate manufacturing course. Post-completion of the project, a metacognitive reflection assignment was administered to theparticipants and subsequently, data was collected. Participant responses were qualitativelyanalyzed using thematic analysis which led to the discovery of three themes: (1) identifyingvalue in nature-inspired design, (2) confidence in communication and self-expression

Besides adoptingcapstone project learning, using simulation software as an educational tool through courses andexaminations has also been a step toward bridging the gap between education and job marketrequirements.
