The Telecommunications Systems Management (TSM) program offers graduate andundergraduate courses in information communication technology (ICT) data and voice networkdesign, implementation, and support. Undergraduate students can specialize from four differentconcentrations: cybersecurity, database administration, wireless, and system administration. In2017, TSM conferred 26 baccalaureates and 26 master’s degrees. The Civil EngineeringTechnology (CET) program offers students practical and applied education in the Architecture,Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry at the undergraduate level. Students can selecttracks in Architectural Engineering

development for secondaryschool teachers with emphasis on hands-on laboratory research and experiences in STEM fields.The paper also refers to the teachers’ experiences gained at the GSU Engineering Research Labsduring the summer 2017. Participants in the RET program completed 280 hours (seven weeks) oftraining and research experience in renewable energy topics. About 50 hours were devoted tolectures and workshops, and the rest, about 230 hours, were research activities, collaborating inresearch teams with undergraduate and graduate students, and engineering professors. Participantsalso developed lessons for their courses that were delivered to their own students during the 2017-2018 school year. The lessons were directly related to the experiences

Generally, the STEM initiatives have two main interconnecting objectives. Atthe national level, the STEM initiatives strive to increase the pool of qualified workers that thenation supposedly needs in order to stay economically competitive in the global marketplace. Atthe individual citizen level, the STEM initiatives aim to produce citizens who are able to

The template provided a roadmap for each module, indicatinga structure to be used, suggested educational content, suggested assessment tools that could beapplied. The template ensured that module learning objectives at both the undergraduate andgraduate levels were established and provided a means by which a connection to course intendedlearning outcomes and/or course topic would be established. Educational content includedparticipant-content interaction via classroom or online lectures, class exercises, homeworkassignments, and examination questions. Participant-participant interaction was incorporatedthrough in-class exercises, class discussion or online discussion boards
