considered nothing morethan a set of managerial theories that students should be aware of prior to entering industry. Thisis especially true in the mechanical engineering/technology discipline where many institutionsonly have one course dedicated to quality control, which is often geared toward a specificmanagement theory such as Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing. However, in the mechanicalengineering/technology discipline, there is a plethora of roles which graduates may assume inindustry, many of which require knowledge and skills in quality. It is critical to understandexactly what skills manufacturing industries are looking for in future employees. A quick searchon any job board such as CareerBuilder or Monster will indicate that employers are

Heads in the Game was an innovative, first ofits kind program for Athletics and STEM education. Sixteen scholars, including 6 girls and 9 fromhigh schools representing impoverished areas, learned coding, biomedical engineering, and healthand sports performance skills. The objective of the program was to leverage the growing awarenessof concussions in athletics with the passion for sports in Mississippi to motivate and inspire youthin STEM fields, and create a culture of awareness of STEM opportunities in the scholar’scommunity

Thisis a new learning system with three modules, which are based onevidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization and evidence-based research strategies. Those modules are working well sinceeach module has its own strategy, which is carefully designedaccording to each student’s learning capability, progress monitoring,and systematic approach. We examined and evaluated this proposedlearning model at the UTRGV in spring 2018 and got good studentsfeedbacks. Therefore, we believe that this new learning model issuccessful for students to learn new technologies systematicallythrough three modules and strategies.References[1] D. P. F.

In addition, it is not generally feasible to connect geographicallydisplaced sensors via cable. Fortunately, today’s microcontrollers are digitally smart, smaller insize, cost-effective, and often equipped with wireless modules. Thus, combining sensors to theradio capable controllers is a most predominant approach to build wireless sensors network. This project involves group of a senior engineering technology students.
