Proceedings of the 2018 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2018, American Society for Engineering Education Session ETD 425One challenge of adding significant electrical elements to MET capstone projects is the lack ofelectrical subject matter within the MET curriculum. The MET curriculum consists of 41 totalcourses (128 total credit hours) of which 4 courses (14 credit hours) specifically addresselectrical topics. The four courses specifically addressing electrical topics are: 1. PHY 108 “Technical Physics II” (4 credits) ‒ electromagnetic topics from a physics perspective; 2. COS 120 “Introduction to

. Successful examples included: 1. Creation and continued funding of ET scholarships. 2. Program feedback for continued curriculum improvement. (10) 3. Capstone projects. Many of our grads and most of our advisors return to Senior Projects to reconnect. Many connections are made and jobs have changed because of our IAB. Just this year I had one grad come back and leave with a new job. They love it, we love it and everyone benefits. 4. Guidance for new majors and certificates. 5. Identifying new trends in the relevant industries. 6. Identifying areas for cross-linking to other programs. 7. Students are able to work on industry projects for their senior capstone projects. 8.

,providing support, as well as providing pathways to employment.Why develop Industry/Education PartnershipsEducating students in the areas of Engineering Technology is a complex, costly, and ever-changing undertaking, if it is done properly. As educators, we must provide the students with askills tool box which includes Mathematics, Science, Communications, and other importanttopics. Using these basic building blocks, technology programs instruct the students on theapplications of theoretical knowledge which can be applied to obtain solutions to many differentproblems, from electrical circuits, to drainage and storm-water retention, to material compositionand deflections, to name just a few. The goal of the Engineering Technology (ET) program is to

project objective is to promote electrical and computer engineering technologyeducation in sustainability topics. The sources of sustainable power such as wind and solarsystems today primarily utilize power electronics as an enabling technology. Therefore, teachingpower electronics and associated technology in an engaging manner will eventually serve thisobjective. The proposed teaching methodology includes a portable lab bench, which is capable ofperforming various lab activities that support the lecture module sequence related tosustainability topics presented in the class. The lab activities are not intended to be exhaustivebut simple enough to stimulate student interest in the topic. The activities that are selected fromCUSP™ curriculum

, Humanities, Social Science, and Business. Theprogram is designed to provide intentional and repetitive learning experiences that encouragestudents to “connect the dots” of high level competencies with course learning outcomes, be theyin traditional, flipped, or on-line modalities, experiential learning outside the classroom, and lifeexperiences. The new major called Transdisciplinary Studies in Engineering Technology (TST-ET) is intended to serve those students who have a strong passion for the EngineeringTechnologies offered by the School of Engineering Technology at Purdue (Electrical, Proceedings of the 2018 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2018, American Society for Engineering
