The college seeks to fill in the positions requiring IoT skills to develop, deploy and support connected devices. The program prepare graduates for career opportunities like: o IoT programmer, IoT developer, IoT consultant o Product application assistant, tapid prototyping assistant o Connected devices support specialist o Embedded software developer, embedded application programmer o The curriculum for the program is given below in Figure 5 and 6. 8
Education. She has been a leader in engineering education in the state of Texas throughout her career. Projects include creating and leading new teacher boot camps, developing the Texas standards for the Math/Physical Sci- ence/Engineering teacher certification and most recently developing the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills frameworks in STEM education. Widely known for her work with Project Lead The Way (PLTW), she served as the State Lead Master Teacher training over 700 teachers in PLTW Core Training Institutes for 13 years. Shelly holds a B.S. degree in Industrial Design and Development and a M.Ed. in Teacher Leadership. She believes in empowering teachers, who then empower students to go out and change our
additional 250 jobs in othersectors [1]. As technology evolves, the manufacturing industry also becomes increasingly complexand sophisticated. As a result, employees in the manufacturing sector are expected to havespecialized science and technology skills. Yet, the current manufacturing workforce, relatively lesseducated than other sectors, is slow at catching up with the new development. Meanwhile, fewyoung Americans show interest in choosing manufacturing as their career [2]. As the U.S.dominance in the manufacturing industry diminishes, it is estimated that nearly 3.5 millionmanufacturing jobs will need to be filled over the next decade, yet 2 million of them will be leftunfilled due to the skills gap [1].

Emirates University Dr Sangarappillai Sivaloganathan – Siva is a Srilankan by birth and a citizen of the United Kingdom. His experience in Sri-lanka started with an year’s post-graduate apprenticeship in the manufacturing shops of the Government Railway and nine years in the Cement Industry. He graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from University of Srilanka, and obtained his Masters from the University of Aston and PhD from City University of London, both in the UK. He started his career in the UK as the Senior Research Assistant at the SERC Engineering Design Centre. He joined Brunel University in 1995 where he worked for 18 years before joining United Arab Emirates University in August 2011. During his stay at Brunel

These skills are critical to successful careers in job environments where graduatesmust increasingly navigate the challenges of adaptation to new technologies and the
engineering students. A totalof 34 undergraduate students participated in the study. Of these, 32 were male and 2 were femalestudents. All students stated that they were interested in pursuing a career in engineering. Thestudents were divided into two groups with the first group being the initial pilot run of the data. Inthis first group there were 24 students, in the second group there were 10 students. The groups’demographics were nearly identical to each other. Analysis of the collected data indicated thatproblem-solving skills contribute to metacognitive skills and may develop first in students beforelarger metacognitive constructs of awareness, monitoring, planning, self-checking, and strategyselection. Based on this, we recommend that the

More specifically, this program has several objectives:1) Train high-school students to use the Autodesk Inventor™ 3D CAD computer program, tocreate technical designs, and teach them how to print designs in 3D using 3D printers.2) Improve students' STEM skills and Improve students' communication skills3) Bridging the gap in industry and research laboratories in terms of human resources andqualified personnel.4) Introduce high-school students to advanced manufacturing (AM) applications to increase theirinterest in pursuing university degrees that would prepare them for careers in AM.Each year, the

be and can be better designed through 3Dmodeling software to create a more effective and efficient wind turbine. Through an understandingof aerodynamics and air flow, it is possible to generate an airfoil design for the blade of the windturbine, which induces lift by creating a low pressure, high velocity flow of air over its curved topsurface and a high pressure, low velocity pocket under the curved top surface, which will reducethe amount of drag back into the fan, increasing efficiency of the fan. The overall length and widthof the new design is similar to the flat blade design, but because of its curvature it has less surfacearea for the wind to contact it [12-15].In preparing students for their future career, virtual reality experiences
unfortunate is the current manufacturing skills shortage and the legacy thesedownsizing efforts have toward recruiting the next generation of manufacturing personnel.Although the headlines are often portrayed as sensational the reality is stark for employees andtheir communities who are or have been laid off. Sadly, it would seem that some CEOs relish theprocess only adding to the reluctance of individuals to pursue a manufacturing career [37]. JackWelch, for example, former CEO of General Electric (GE) was known as “Neutron Jack”. Hewould annually purged 10% of his workforce [37]. Further fuel resentment is the 42% increase in Page 6 of 16pay for the CEO’s for the
