For all of thepeople in these three groups, they are expected to communicate clearly with others and toconduct his or her activities ethically. Thus to be in agreement with these accords in these twocategories, there would not need to be a change in Criterion 3 items g and i for either two year orfour year programs.Applied Science CriteriaThe 2008-2009 ASAC of TAC criteria3 differentiates between baccalaureate and associatedegree programs primarily in Criterion 3, Program Outcomes

Only two years later, the team has evolved into much more than the organizersimagined, as a result of the team members taking ownership of their activities.Students are recommended for the team by high school industrial education instructors andIVCC engineering design, electronics and manufacturing instructors.

Introduction The U.S. Department of Energy, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the Department ofLabor and other professional organizations have recognized the need for well-educated and well-trained workforce to meet the need of the changing U.S manufacturing industries. Therecognized competency gaps in today’s work force, according to the Manufacturing EducationFoundation [1], are: low level education, minimal skills to cope with high tech gadgets, lack ofmotivation for technical careers, poor communication skills, poor work ethics, unawareness ofjob opportunities, lack of adaptive skills, low skills in the use of energy related software, and lowlevel knowledge in the use of instruments for

critical and timely technical and non-technical skills will be identified by workingclosely with industry partners and then will be incorporated across the curriculum, including innon-technical courses. This comprehensive approach will allow the required competencies to beintroduced and emphasized in courses in order to support students’ development throughout theireducational pathway. An example of such a course specifically designed to focus on bothtechnical and non-technical skills is RCBC’s SOC-160 course, Society, Ethics, and Technology.This course provides students with a framework for understanding the ways in which technologyaffects society and to further understand the social, ethical, global, environmental, andprofessional

TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics
