on professional identity creation, educational text and data mining, and technician education improvement. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Comparing Florida’s Advanced Manufacturing Curriculum Framework to the Department of Labor Competency ModelIn this research paper, we compare the alignment between advanced manufacturing (AM)competencies in Florida’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) AM Curriculum Frameworkand the U.S. Department of Labor’s Advanced Manufacturing Competency Model. AMeducators are guided by state department of education documents that specify program content,while employers track the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that AM technicians require
research projects and internships. Objective 1.2 Develop an applications library (real examples of STEM principles for instructional practices) as a resource for faculty to support relevant curriculum by presenting industry-relevant competencies, techniques and images that meet predetermined learning outcomes. Objective 1.3 Strengthen career pathways throughout, and partnerships between, regional higher education institutions, secondary schools, and industry partners. Activities will include the creation of advisory committees, student work-based learning activities, and job placement support. Focus will be on job placement and
the councils for developing articulation compacts in other engineering and science disciplines.

decision-making process or engaging in a task. Modern theories of motivation have been developed basedon beliefs, engagement, control, attribution, values, interest, goal-driven, and achievement-related choices [13]. Such theories have taken various approaches to understanding individuals’motivation.Expectancy-value theory of achievement motivationCurrently, the expectancy-value theory of motivation is one of the most used motivationalmodels to study students’ career choices in engineering [14]. Expectancy-value theory (Eccles etal., 1983) is considered the most influential theory for explaining students’ learning behavior andachievement-related choices [15]. The theory indicates that the students’ task choice and level ofengagement are driven by
departments from two colleges –Engineering and Engineering Technology, the Enrollment Management and Career ServicesDivision, and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Collectively, these eight departmentsoffer thirteen BS degree programs that are five-year programs with a mandatory cooperativeeducation component wherein students attend classes in Fall and Spring semesters in their firsttwo years. During the third and fourth years, students alternate between on-campus study andoff-campus co-op employment in industry. All students must complete at least 48 weeks of paidco-op employment. Each student finds co-op employment with help from an assigned co-opcoordinator in the Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services [2].Each scholar

As a result of increased student-faculty interactions, undergraduate researchenhances interest in STEM careers and graduate school [15, 16] and has been shown to increaseretention rates in science and engineering programs [17]. The Council on UndergraduateResearch [18] reports the benefits of undergraduate research to include the development ofmentoring relationships with faculty, increases in retention and graduation, better understandingand appreciation of the research process, and communication, problem
