In fact,the criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs specify that theory courses shouldbe accompanied by coordinated laboratory experiences. A laboratory course accompanies almostevery electronics engineering technology course in the IET curriculum at East CarolinaUniversity. In these laboratories, students design and construct electronic circuits and machines,then use electrical test equipment to measure the characteristics of the constructed circuits andmachines to compare their findings with theory presented in the corresponding lecture courses.

The specific aim of thecourse was to provide students from diverse backgrounds with a curriculum designed to buildcommunity, introduce students to research faculty, and to counteract a perceived lack of researchreadiness. The student learning goals for the course included providing opportunities for studentsto: study key historical examples of excellent research; interact with faculty researchers whoperform projects across the STEM disciplines; and to explore the similarities and differencesbetween

In order to fulfill this theme, students need to learn related subjects from severaldisciplines instead of a single one. At the very least, they need to equip themselves with notionsof robotics from mechanical engineering, conducting theory and practice from music,abstract/multimedia animation from IMM, algorithms, data structures, and artificial intelligencefrom

For example, there was no common CS curriculum. There hadalso been a lack of administrative support for having teachers attend CS PD. In addition, counselors hadnot encouraged students entering high schools offering the CS course to take it. To meet CS goals in the state, an RPP approach was implemented. RPPs are collaborative, long-term partnerships whose goal is to improve persistent problems of practice in education in a local context.In the RPP model, research is incorporated into decision-making processes, and the problems addressed aremeaningful to

To achieve this integration, the approach aims to leverage VRlearning modules to simulate a variety of systems. The VR learning modules offer an immersiveexperience and provide the context for real-life applications.
