NeedsAbstractAs institutions of higher education strive to maintain effective and affordable educationalpathways, innovative partnerships between associate and baccalaureate degree grantinginstitutions can facilitate a student’s progress while maintaining close alignment with industryneeds. This paper details the continuing efforts of a multi-year project between a two-yearcollege, a university and industry that has resulted in the creation of well-aligned associate andbaccalaureate degrees in mechanical engineering technology. These offerings represent newdegrees for both institutions, as well as an entirely new department of engineering technology forthe university that complements its already existing engineering programs. Both degrees arebased on a

A Model for Aligning Engineering Technology Curriculum with Industry NeedsAbstractIn order for students to master the skills and competencies required by industry, academicprograms must be focused on, and oriented towards, the skills that have the most relevance andvalue. Achieving a well-designed academic program requires industry partners and faculty towork in tandem to provide input regarding curriculum development and delivery. This paperdetails the efforts of a multi-year project between a two-year college and a university to createcurriculum, academic programs and career pathways resulting in meaningful employment in theAdvanced Manufacturing sector.

To be fair, to a great extent this is a newproblem facing the technical education segment of the two-year college space. In the past, mostnew technologic developments have been derived from a discipline specific, legacy technologyarea and the curricula would only need to be morphed to include the new topic area at the expenseof other topics that could be diminished in coverage due to the continuing advance of technology.Today, in the instance of many projected

For this study, we included anotherlayer in this cycle, a research experience for the student participants.

Are ethical guidelines too strict in their interpretation, orare there areas of gray, where the interpretation varies from engineer to engineer based on theirhome teachings, beliefs, and experiences? And given these possibilities, what are theramifications the engineer must understand if an ethical challenge is presented?RamificationsIn projects that encounter an ethical dilemma, there is seldom a simple choice, yes or no, good,or bad, right or wrong. Most problems that have such a decision base are more centered onmoral grounds which are based on youthful teachings in the home. Most ethical
