enthusiastic and came prepared to discuss their own ideas to the class.Expected attributes for choosing an idea for the capstone project: Keeping in view that acapstone course is an assimilation of the knowledge gained from several of the undergraduateclasses that they took, the students were given guidelines for choosing a project idea. Some ofthese are: (a) is it a new or original ideas and design of the system? Or, (b) is it based on designimprovements and/or modification(s) of an existing design? (c) complexity of the problemchosen, (d) relative complexity of projects chosen between the teams, number of members in agroup (work load), (e) anticipated depth of analysis using math and CAE tools to carry outmultiple analyses – structural, dynamic

applicants to M-C,twenty-two were accepted to the M-C 2019 Cohort. During a blind review of applicants, one ofthe KS HSIs placed at the top of the M-C applicant ranking and the other placed mid-range.Moving forward, KS plans to set the expectation for transitioning to M-C for ATE proposaldevelopment at the beginning of new Cohorts. KS will also more proactively recommend thateligible candidates attend the M-C orientation webinar and have M-C leaders speak at KS CohortMeeting(s) to describe the opportunity.In 2018, a pilot was conducted with one KS college participating in the M-C 2018 Cohort.

disposition towardsengineering as technological activity clearly emerges as important.Offering this perspective as an ontology-based curriculum, this paper seeks to foreground anunderstanding of engineering as technological activity, dependant on existing (though evolving)frameworks of discipline specific declarative knowledge. It is important to note that this line ofargument is not intended to disenfranchise engineering education, but rather to empowerengineering educators, students and practicing engineers with a means of articulating theintricacies of learning in their profession.Technology education: epistemological underpinningsSince the inception of technology education as a school subject in the late 1970’s and early1980’s, the subject area

Engineering program was conducted.II. IntroductionIn the early 2000’s, forecasters believed the United States was on the verge of a nuclearrenaissance. Tremendous growth in the energy industry was expected at that time since theaverage age of the nuclear power sector was 48 years of age which ranked among the oldest inany US industry 1. Many colleges and universities geared up new programs with help fromfederal agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department ofEnergy (DOE). Over 40 college programs across the country were developed to create a pipelineto help fill the shortage of workers 2. The majority of the programs were two-year Associatedegree programs designed for entry level positions in nuclear fields. At that
parents have not completed their H.S. education. Childs participation in some college, when parent(s) have a bachelor’s degree or more is 87%. Childs participation in some college, when parent(s) did not complete High School is 47%.The Winds of ChangeThe winds of change are blowing the sands of time through the pages of history; as the sayinggoes. We are standing at the precipice of seismic shifts in national and international highereducation and public institutions of higher education in particular. The U.S. economy is stuck inneutral since the last recession [8, p.1], tuition prices are skyrocketing, student loan debt hassurpassed $1.5 trillion [15, p. 1], parents – who have leveraged their homes through equity loansand second
