Eva Schiorring has almost two decades of experience in research and evaluation and special knowledge about STEM education in community colleges and four-year institutions. Ms. Schiorring presently serves as the external evaluator for three NSF-funded projects that range in scope and focus from leadership de- velopment to service learning and experimentation with alternative delivery, including online lab courses. Ms. Schiorring is also evaluating a project that is part of the California State University system’s new ini- tiative to increase first year persistence in STEM. In 2014, Ms. Schiorring was one of the first participants in the NSF’s Innovation-CORPS (I-CORPS), a two-month intensive training that uses an

The curriculumintroduces students to the engineering education system in California, as well as the skills,knowledge, and resources needed to succeed in college, including details on alternative paths toan engineering career. Most mornings of the two-week program are devoted to lectures andpresentations, with group activities and hands-on workshops in the afternoon to reinforceconcepts learned from the lectures. Some afternoons are devoted to field trips, and most eveningsto working on group projects. There are four culminating group

Additionally, students majoring in engineering at a CC take most of theirgeneral requirements in STEM while enrolled at these schools

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. Curriculum developed will include both Associate

most students, this change to a researchinstitution was positive, but there was one student who regretted coming to a research institutionwhere he felt the emphasis was on graduate research rather than undergraduate education.Although research institutions offer opportunities to engage in undergraduate research, surveydata indicates that transfer students are less likely to be engaged in these opportunities. Only14.8% of transfer students report involvement in a faculty research project, whereas 35.1% ofnon-transfer students report engaging in research. This difference is possibly due to their shorttenure at the university and the challenges of beginning as a research assistant.Transferring to a research institution also changed the instructor

In addition to strong successes in the acceleratedmath curriculum, the lab activities and design projects in Introduction to Engineering were wellreceived by students and allowed them to explore the major fields of engineering, increase theirknowledge of specific engineering topics and disciplines, as well as understand a variety of jobfunctions in an engineering career. The program has also shown to provide context tofundamental physics and math concepts—a strategy that has been proven to increase studentmotivation and persistence, especially during the potential struggle through the first two years oftheir engineering studies.Several key findings emerged from the focus
