The team-based structure also best allows the transfer of ideas andperspectives among the students. To accomplish this, the summer design experience wasconstructed as a program made up of multidisciplinary teams not only based on educationaldiversity but also including cultural and gender diversity. The instructional staff for the summerprojects selected a broad program theme, but individual teams were given the freedom to pursuea project topic of interest within that theme. For the 2014 program, the theme was visible light(wavelength) communication systems (VLC). Within this theme, the

impactful scholarly research. For example, there are opportunities toinvestigate the effect of teacher PCK on student performance and achievement in engineering atthe K-12 level. There’s also a need to explore the relationship between teacher PCK and K-12students’ interest levels in engineering careers. Moreover, evaluation of this type of a programcould generate best practices for developing PCK in secondary engineering teachers. Overall,this Master’s degree program has the potential to increase the number of qualified Technology,Engineering and Design Education teachers in the state of North Carolina, and is a great exampleof how two colleges can work together to find a solution for societal needs.References1.

IntroductionThe available funding for manufacturing research and national strategic directions have inspiredresearchers and produced a surge in manufacturing education and research among educationalinstitutes including high schools, community colleges, vocational training centers, anduniversities. Although there are more students interested in manufacturing, some institutes haveto balance between the steep increment of student enrollment and available resources. Aproportional increasing of resource to the student population growth would solve the problem ifthere is unlimited resource; however, when resource is limited then creative ideas are sought tomodify the current teaching practice for
