Relevant data on students and teachers are collectedfrom selected school districts: a) STAAR scores for individual high schools in math andscience, and b) data on teachers with graduate degrees. Analysis of the STAAR assessmentdata of the participating school districts consistently reveals the lower performance of the highschool students, particularly among the subgroups, in physical sciences and algebra comparedto the state averages and students from more affluent regions of Texas.

and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2022, American Society for Engineering Education ETD 445When professional engineers and engineering technology graduates join on-the-job training orprofessional development sessions, it is clear that a considerable portion of them cannot makethe connection between what they studied and what is being discussed in quality trainingprograms. There are few reasons for that:• Related courses are taught in abstract (purely mathematical) way.• Instructors are not engineers, or they do not have enough expertise in the industrial applications of the topics.• Classes are not clustered into

Once in those positions, however, students must remember their engineeringroots and their knowledge of technical details ha affect outcomes.

EngineeringTechnology (EET) programs.In 2006 the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) focused afaculty search in the signature area of nanotechnology. The goal was to introduce this excitingfield into the program including introductory course modules, undergraduate electives, graduatecourses, and research projects. This paper reports results from an undergraduate ECET electiveand a graduate course. Students participating in the graduate course range in technology majorssuch as electrical, mechanical, aviation, industrial, and computer graphics. Students formadditional colleges at Purdue, including Engineering, Science and Agriculture, have alsoparticipated in the graduate course.The topics of ethics is a continual discussion

It also aims for the students to work effectively in a team to solve challenging problemswithout clearly prescribed solutions.TopicsThe course covered the fundamental theories of autonomous navigation of ground mobile robotsthrough recitation sessions. The topic includes programming basics in Python and ROS, sensorsand actuators, locomotion, mobile robot kinematics, perception, vision, path planning, Proceedings of the 2022 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2022, American Society for Engineering Education

This multi-billion-dollar market requires a significant number of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) graduates specifically trained to handle the technical challenges and meetthe job market demand of renewable energy industries.This project was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In this project, the newcourses on solar PV installation and troubleshooting and the associated new laboratory weredesigned and developed by using state-of-the-art equipment.

Using applied projects has proven to be fruitful in capstoneprojects to prepare graduates for not only future careers in their respective fields, but to besuccessful in those endeavors.This two-semester capstone project within the Construction Engineering and ManagementTechnology program at Purdue University Northwest (PNW) includes an open-ended problem inwhich students carefully plan and execute a solution based on a combination of abilities gainedfrom coursework and research on relevant subjects.The first semester is spent performing research within a topic of interest. For the first two weeks,students talk to professors within the department about projects they may be interested in andcheck to see how well they align to specialty research

The training day schedule for summer 2021 is shown in Table 2 on the following page. Modern ships have a wide variety of equipment and systems supporting vital functions such as propulsion, electrical generation, and habitability. Ship’s engine department officers must be able to effectively operate, maintain, and repair these complex systems. MET students have completed much of their technical education when they embark on CE303, and they are expected to operate TSSOM. Although they are mentored and supervised by both faculty members and the ship’s crew, they are expected to lead teams of peers and CE103 students throughout

PBL empowered students [3,4] to self-direct their educational experience by designingexperimental systems for given specifications. It is an instructional method that integratesstructured, new knowledge gained in this course and other courses with the new self-taughtknowledge via solving real-world problems. A PBL-based pedagogical approach [5,6] facilitatesstudents’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills while accomplishing the course-specificobjectives. In addition, PBL pedagogy contributes to epistemological development [7] ofstudents.The three-credit instrumentation course meets for two one-hour
