PNW has created great partnerships with theseindustries to help with potential work and projects. In return, many of the companies rely onPNW for interns or future employees.Since 2019, there is a 18% rise in projects involving industry within the CEMT program. This isattributed to the growing involvement of the industrial advisory board, combined with a revisionin the Senior Survey course to force students to branch out to different faculty members who canshare available projects they have with industry partners. This has led to more fruitful projects,better preparedness in the field for students, and the application of real

Despite these challenges, numerous fluid-thermo related topics havesignificant value for engineering technology students such as the first law of thermodynamics,thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, drag force, hydrostatics, and psychrometric charts, etc.Therefore, it is essential to adopt a distinct approach when designing fluid-thermo related coursesin engineering technology programs, distinguishing them from courses offered in otherengineering programs: i) emphasizing practical applications to ensure relevant and useful contentfor real-world scenarios. ii) prioritizing essential fundamental concepts and key principles ofsignificant importance

Moreover,the ABET Accreditation Criterion 5 for Engineering Technology programs states that curriculamust include (among other requirements) “design considerations appropriate to the disciplineand degree level such as: industry and engineering standards and codes; public safety and health;and local and global impact of engineering solutions on individuals, organizations and society”[9]. Nevertheless, one of the concerns the faculty usually receive from industry partners is relatedto students lacking the knowledge and exposure to the industry standards and codes. Thisconcern is related to the dilemma of achieving both breadth and depth in 4-year engineering andtechnology programs [10

It bridges the gap between theory and practice, providing a more holisticunderstanding of electrical engineering concepts. Electrical engineering involves practical skillssuch as circuit design, troubleshooting, and equipment operation. Experiential learning providesstudents with hands-on opportunities to develop these skills, making them better prepared for thechallenges they may face in their careers. Real-world projects and experiments often presentunexpected challenges. Experiential learning encourages students to develop problem-solvingabilities by requiring them to troubleshoot and find solutions on the spot

Also, labs for engineeringclasses are not offered separately, but rather they are partially embedded with the relevantlectures due to the hour’s limitations. There are always tradeoffs between delivering all thetheoretical knowledge relevant to the degree offered and equipping the students with all theindustrial standards relevant to real-world applications, while meeting the accreditation boardrequirements. Educators in the engineering and engineering technology fields always utilizeinnovative ways to overcome this dilemma.
