Withinweeks the number of participating faculty shrank to roughly 15, whose affiliations varied widelyranging from engineering technology to theatre. These remaining faculty were exposed to aseries of individual and team exploration exercises intended strengthen the bond among theparticipants. The initial design of two distinct learning experiences emerged in the spring of2014. Their purpose was to examine real-world open-ended problems from different lenses. A“Seminar” experience would address the problem from a cultural and societal lens while a“Design Studio” experience would examine the problem from a science and technologyperspective. The notion of “competency” was adopted through research

IntroductionMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) capstone experiences are tasked to develop studentcompetencies in applying technical and non-technical skills via the design, implementation, andtesting of projects [1]. In 2015, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) revised MET program outcomes such that MET capstone projects should ideally bemultidisciplinary in nature [2]. The desired

, they do not necessarily have the time to make the high levels of coordination that many university and industry engagement initiatives require. Industry engineers also have problems with the availability of time, especially during the workday - for example, it is difficult for many to devote half a day to an activity as a workshop for trainees. Often there is no money available to develop the types of initiatives that are likely to have the greatest impact. Even when funding is available to establish a new initiative, long-term financial sustainability remains problem. This paper intends to show a program that might work as a first step for engineering schools and industries to develop relations and work together in the

[11] expand on this idea by suggesting that identificationof at-risk students at admission is not only feasible, but preferable when considering studentefficacy and persistence in earning a college degree [12].For students who have interest and aptitude in science and mathematics, but are not a good fit forengineering, ET provides a viable alternative. Like engineering, ET degree programs have aheavy emphasis in math, science, and design, albeit in a less theoretical and more applied mannerthan engineering [6].

Emphasis is placed on project management, documentation, and presentation2 ofa completely functional prototype. Therefore, the elements of sustainability must be included oneach project, since sustainability includes all the interrelated activities that promote the long-termflourishing of Earth's human and ecological communities6, and one of the most importantrequirement for the

We have designed small interactive experiments for studentsto perform during class and ‘discover’ new concepts before the theoretical material is taught.Because of the hands-on orientation of Engineering Technology programs, and their emphasis onproviding application-oriented instruction, this is a high priority technique which is beingimplemented in all three target courses.

An example of new innovation is co-design.Co-design is working collaboratively with others that involve leadership tasks where theunleashing and harnessing talent and great ideas are promulgated. To have innovation, theremust be integrative problem-solving, creative abrasion and creative agility. All of these aspectsare found in an engineering technology program. Creative abrasion is part of an institution’sculture where constructively challenging ideas are accepted. Leadership for innovation is oftenmore of an effort in leading the individual from behind versus from a frontal form of leadership.The goal is to work on shaping the individual to have P-20 experiences that will fosterinnovation rather than about setting

Currently, non-engineering majors make up about20% of EVP students.Program SuccessThrough developing the EVP as an umbrella organization to house all of the vehicle programsfor ASME and SAE chapters, students have been able to succeed in these competitions at thelevel of top engineering universities.

, BRAZIL E-mail: drbrito@copec.eu Abstract - The differences between ET and traditional engineering programs are not always obvious. There is a great overlap between the two fields of study. In most engineering schools, both types of engineering programs strongly emphasize mathematics and science, especially physics and calculus. While the main topics in both programs appear similar, ET content emphasizes the application of engineering techniques and traditional engineering content will focus on the development of concepts, it is what is called design engineering. ET graduates and traditional engineering programs complement each other in skills and interests. Application engineers work with

The first eureka moment occurred when we discovered that therewere many innovations lying dormant in the supply chain. We also discovered that Raytheonwas a heavily analytical technical problem solving organization while the current primecontractor, General Dynamics, was more development oriented. Hence, this created anopportunity to pull innovation through the supply chain. With a balanced analysis anddevelopment approach we concluded that a $20 million investment in test
