) 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

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

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

It investigates circuits includinginverting, non-inverting and differential amplifiers, non-linear circuits, active filters, equalizers,oscillators, timers, and power supply regulator IC‟s. Laboratory experiments cover the abovetopics and verify lecture theory. Circuit analysis software is used to simulate and verify thelaboratory analysis where appropriate.Course Learning OutcomesUpon completion of the course, students will be able to:1. For Analog Integrated Circuits: Identify the characteristics of, analyze and solve problems2. Use test equipment to perform measurements3. Use electronic circuit

ability to build ontheir technical knowledge base (with classes such as Green Energy, Biofuels, Mechatronics,PLC, etc.) or to satisfy additional transfer requirements (accounting, environmental science,biology, computer science, etc.).In order to provide students with enough content related to clean energy, it is essential tocontextualize as many courses as possible. This involves including homework sets, projects,research papers, laboratories, etc. related to clean energy into the academic, technology, andindustry prep courses. Course contextualization is a key to enabling instructors to keep coursecontent relevant and to allow for a broad base of education related to the clean energy industry. Italso allows for the inclusion of a more diverse
