KickStarter Process. As colleges transitioned to sustaining mode, they wereencouraged to continue their participation as KickStarter Alumni. In this sense, they became partof a growing community that continues beyond their direct involvement in the KickStarterProgram.KickStarter CohortsThe four Cohorts of 2-year HSIs that have participated in KickStarter from 2015 to 2019 arelocated across six states, as shown in Figure 4. Ten HSIs were from California, five from Texas,four from Arizona, three from New Mexico, and one from each of Florida and Illinois. Theparticipating institutions varied in their characteristics. Some colleges belonged to large districtsin urban settings, that provided centralized infrastructure for grants and institutional data
tosuccessfully function in the workplace. The Curriculum Framework, created with input fromeducators and industry, shape AM curricula and course syllabi because they specify the learningoutcomes that AM graduates upon completion of two-year AM degree programs. TheDepartment of Labor’s Advanced Manufacturing Competency Model, crafted by federalpolicymakers and industry representatives, includes personal, academic, industry-specific, andmanagerial competencies needed by successful AM technicians; the Model is intended toinfluence technicians’ hiring, training, and evaluation. Although these documents were createdby different sets of stakeholders, they “bookend” AM technicians’ school-to-career pathways. Todetermine the extent to which the 2019-2020

[1]The need for NSF ATE Program funding opportunities that support advancement of technicianeducation is clear. The previous ASEE paper about Mentor-Connect also documented anincreasing workforce skills gap, along with the pressing need for highly skilled engineering andrelated technicians capable of working with advanced technologies that drive the Americaneconomy. In 2017, the widening of the workforce skills gap was described as persisting and waspredicted to reach two million unfilled jobs by 2025.

Two-year instituteparticipants’ understanding of wide bandgap technologies increased on their post-assessment by42% with all REUs from two and four-year institutes demonstrating 100% comprehension.In addition to technical skill development, self-efficacy in engineering is of equal importance asit contributes to achievement and persistence in engineering majors. The community collegeREUs self-reported after their 2019 program participation the following: they were confident thatthey would be enrolled in an engineering major in the next academic year, had confidence tocomplete any engineering degree, were more confident as researchers and that they could persistin engineering during the current

labor predictions through 2024 show that forevery ten jobs, only three will require a bachelor’s degree or higher [2].In this project’s state, Louisiana, skilled workers are the backbone of our most importantindustries. Louisiana Economic Development has identified nine key industries in Louisiana [3],and six of those nine industries rely heavily on automation technology and skilled technicians.In addition, the North Louisiana Economic Partnership (NLEP) has named AdvancedManufacturing as a target sector for North Louisiana. Since 2014 NLEP has hosted an annualManufacturing Week, and in 2019 over 1,300 high school students visited over 50 manufacturingand training facilities in North Louisiana to learn about occupation needs and possible
