Program1. Introduction The geographically specific mission and teaching focus of community colleges empowersstudents from populations that have systemically been excluded from university programs.Community colleges stand apart from other higher education institutions for their role incultivating a demographically diverse, talented pool of engineering and technology scholars fromlow-income backgrounds [1], [2]. Engineering associate degree completion by women, Blackand Latine/Latinx students is nearing demographic parity [3]. Community colleges have beenable to meet the needs of underserved students in engineering education while establishinginclusive practices, and student services that counter the marginalization that students experiencein

Moreover, Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)standards stress the need for engineering graduates to have the ability to solve problems in additionto being knowledgeable of current issues. In addition, complex problem solving skills is predictedto be the most prevalent skill to thrive in the workforce in 2020 [5]. Real world problems helpstudents’ understanding to become more integrated [6, 7]. However, most instructional approacheslimit students’ ability to transfer learning by focusing on course-specific information.Active learning involves students

The former program was affiliated with seven well-known universities including Columbia University, the University of Florida, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. JU opted to establish the onsite engineering program based on students’ needs and interests as identified through feedback from the previous dual degree program. This four-year program can confer a BS degree in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. The new engineering department has added two more faculty positions, put $200,000 towards upgrading

However, the characteristics and behaviorsassociated with innovation may vary across industries, job types, and disciplines. Dyer et al.
