. However, vacuum technology is ahighly specialized area. It is costly to develop, deliver, and sustain technical programs(curriculum, equipment, instructional talent, numbers of students available locally) at communityand technical colleges. Therefore, finding a way to share programmatic resources becameessential. The partnership with Normandale Community College’s (Normandale CC) existingVacuum Technology program was developed as a result.Normandale CC offers a curriculum in Vacuum Technology using video conferencing(telepresence classroom) to teach classes synchronously to distance sites. This distanceeducation mode was developed as part of a NSF-ATE funded project and incorporates a hands-on component utilizing a Vacuum Equipment Trainer (VET

He enjoys design, but is becoming increasingly concerned that his work is notbeing adequately checked by more experienced engineers. He has been assigned to assistin the design of a number of projects that involve issues of public safety, such as schoolsand overhead walkways between buildings. He has already spoken to his supervisor,whose engineering competence he respects, and he has been told that more experiencedengineers check his work. Later, he discovers to his dismay that his work is often notadequately checked. Instead, his drawings are

The six stages are Planning, ConceptDevelopment, System-Level Design, Detail Design, Implementation and Testing, andProduction. In light of current transdisciplinary design practices in the industry, Ertas [8]identifies challenges currently faced by engineering education and suggests responding to thesechanges by introducing transdisciplinary engineering design education.

Hsi et al. found that, in an engineeringgraphics class, spatial visualization ability was correlated with the overall course grade, such thatwomen, who had lower average spatial visualization scores, also tended to have lowerperformance in the course. However, the gender difference was not present for grades onhomework or projects. Therefore, they attributed the discrepancy in final grade to the lowerexam scores of women compared to that of men [2]. It has been hypothesized that femalesemploy slower strategies in solving rotation problems than males, which may contribute to thediscrepancy in scores observed on time-restrictive spatial visualization tests [13] and

One approach to bridge the skills gap is toprovide customized continuing education to current the workforce as per the industry need.

Stage 2 of the UbD approach is to develop carefulassessment tools that measure what is important, not what is simply easy to measure. As newcourses were developed, the techniques promoted by UbD were used to thoughtfully create theassessment tools that attempted to measure the big ideas.

An experiment was conducted with senior design students through an iterative design-fabrication-redesign-fabrication sequence to enable hands-on experience on desktop-levelmanufacturing equipment. His work strongly asserts the need to include practical training whileincluding design-intensive prototyping courses.
