) was established to allow sharing of engineering studentsfrom different community colleges. Developed initially through a grant from the NationalScience Foundation, and subsequently supported by a US Department of Education grant, JEPcurrently has 27 partner community colleges from all over California. As a result of JEP and theengineering courses that are offered online, the number of community college students who areable to take these courses and be prepared for upper-division courses upon transfer has increased.A JEP enrollment survey shows an increase of 61.3% in engineering courses over the last fiveyears even though overall enrollment at the JEP partner institutions decreased slightly. However,courses requiring laboratory components are

of these colleges. As a result manystudents are not able to complete the required lab courses. For instance at CañadaCollege, although enrollments in lecture courses have increased 118% due to a dramaticincrease in online enrollment (508% over the first four years of JEP), enrollments in labcourses have only increased 23%3.Inspired by the success of the ONE-STEP program, Cañada College collaborated withCollege of Marin and Monterey Peninsula College to develop the Creating AlternativeLearning Strategies for Transfer Engineering Programs (CALSTEP). The primaryobjective of CALSTEP is to develop laboratory courses that are delivered eithercompletely online, or with limited face-to-face interaction. These courses, together withthe online courses

. This course has been developed and is taught by faculty from bothdepartments. The course includes the use of discrete components and FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGA). A set of custom hardware components have beendeveloped that can be interfaced to an FPGA and a microcontroller. Instructional videoshelp students prepare for laboratory exercises and the course concludes with a finaldesign-build project.The overall goal of this project is to teach students how to work in multi-disciplinaryteams and to make it easier for students to switch between AS and AAS programs. ACapstone Design course is being developed where small teams comprised of PrecisionMachining, Engineering Science, and Computer Technology students will solve asemester long

Education program (NSF IUSE), three community colleges from NorthernCalifornia collaborated to increase the availability and accessibility of the engineeringcurriculum by developing resources and teaching strategies to enable small-to-medium sizedcommunity college engineering programs to support a comprehensive set of lower-divisionengineering courses. These resources were developed for use in a variety of delivery formats(e.g., fully online, online/hybrid, flipped face-to-face, etc.), providing flexibility for localcommunity colleges to leverage according to their individual needs. This paper focuses on thedevelopment and testing of the resources for an introductory Materials Science course with 3-unit lecture and 1-unit laboratory components

Mentoring occurs throughresearch group meetings and one-on-one discussions. Each student has their own hands-onindependent research project that is intended to further develop the student’s interest andknowledge in science and engineering careers.The TTE REU program consists of a 9 week summer long research internship. During the firstweek, students take part in a laboratory “boot camp” that introduces basic laboratory andresearch skills in order to acclimate the students to the university and labs.

ME 306 and 311 are both lab courses that were initially moved to a summer termbetween junior and senior year as part of the initial laboratory solution described in the followingparagraph.The second major challenge in implementing this satellite program was how to provide acomparable laboratory experience to the offerings on the Pullman campus. A mechanicalengineering program requires extensive and expensive laboratory space and equipment toprovide a quality education experience and meet ABET standards. The WSU BSME curriculumincludes five mechanical engineering lab courses: ME 220: Materials Lab ME 306: Thermofluids Lab ME

Artis5, TTE REU brings communitycollege students from around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley tocomplete a 9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the studentsgoing through a “laboratory bootcamp” whereby the students learn lab safety, tour labs aroundcampus, speak with graduate students and postdocs from different science and engineeringdisciplines, and learn different laboratory sampling techniques. For the remaining 8 weeks, thestudents are given a research project under the supervision of a graduate student or postdocmentor within a faculty lab. Throughout the summer, the students are engaged in weeklyseminars about

Texas State faculty and graduate students also provided anupdate on the Re-Energize program, including research and scholarship opportunities.Comparison of student surveys done before and after the TxState tour showed a significantincrease in students’ desire to learn more about sustainability and environmental issues, as wellas a significant increase in their knowledge of solar and wind energy technologies.Objective 3: Design and develop a

Program was originally founded through the Center for EnergyEfficient Electronics Science, and has since branched to multiple disciplines includedbiotechnology and robotics. 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.

withlittle or no high quality laboratory experience in K-12, lack of experience building thingsduring childhood and adolescence, lack of understanding about how mechanical thingswork and a lack of experience measuring and hypothesizing have little background thatwould lead them to know about or to choose a STEM course of study without making aconnection to something they care about.The culture of inquiry and freedom from required content promoted questioning and whatwould be considered “off topic” discussions sometimes arose. Encouraging these questionscan increase student engagement when the facilitators are able to provide appropriatecontext for the student’s question rather than dismissing it.3.
