Those that graduate with adegree in engineering technology need to understand the impacts of codes, standards andregulations within their particular industry. By having undergraduates participate in the research,application, and evaluation of these standards, undergraduates will be better prepared to enter theworkforce and provide valuable insight to their employers.

more importantly in the younger years, the inter-relationships between the four elements of STEM is of vital importance. For example, how does a teacher motivate, and therefore excite, a student about chemistry? An effective method would involve defining active ways of experiencing chemistry, demonstrating how chemistry is interesting and has a substantial impact on the student’s life. MST graduates have substantial experiences with the inter-relationship of the four STEM disciplines. For example, using T&E skills in designing & making to bring important activeness and context to lessons for both STEM and non-STEM subjects. Also, a key task for teachers, designing lesson plans, is itself an excellent
the experiments,which present students with a range of practical challenges requiring them to analyze, measure,design, and fabricate gears and gear systems. Activities in the experiments include: (1) identify-ing gear types (spur, helical, bevel, etc.) and appropriate applications (transmissions, differen-tials, gearmotors, etc.). (2) Disassembling and reassembling an automotive HVAC bafflesubassembly (with measurement of train ratios, and design and manufacturing questions relatedto its gears). (3) Disassembling and reassembling a kitchen mixer (with design and manufactur-ing questions related to its gears). (4) Designing the gear mechanism for driving the hands of aclock given an input speed, fabricating the gears of the clock via rapid
