Introduction In 2012, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology documented theneed to prepare more than 1 million additional STEM professionals in the U.S. workforce overthe next decade. To meet this demand, leveraging the transfer pathway between two-year andfour year institutions is an approach that has garnered increased interest. In addition to adoptingguided pathways model to move students logistically from one

education of these advanced technology enablers is woefully lacking atvocational (K-12), post-secondary technical schools, and two-year colleges that teach automotivetechnology. Furthermore, most colleges that offer electrical/electronic engineering technology(EET) education at the two-year college level, as of yet, do not have educational courses orprograms to teach this new technology if they were called upon to fulfill the need. The enablingtechnologies for these ADAS systems are inter-disciplinary in nature. Computer networking forautomobiles, embedded controllers, wireless networking, radar and LiDAR are not commontopics found in typical EET programs, let alone automotive technology programs that still tend tofocus on traditional mechanical
