were not aware of a study ofthe effectiveness and best practices for IABs in ET. The desire to fill this knowledge gap is themotivating factor of this study.Procedure As mentioned in the abstract, this study extends the Genheimer & Shehab reports bystudying programs in engineering technology. In their model, Genheimer & Shehab identifyeight objectives of an IAB. In a related study,6 Rooney and Puerzer identify eleven objectives,which overlap those of Genheimer & Shehab but have more emphasis on recruiting both studentsand new faculty and stronger emphasis on research. They make the cogent point that the role ofIABs is strictly advisory, and they have no policy-making power. They also comment that theroles of IABs change

However, while the majority of WCU’s pairs remain together andwork harmoniously and without issue, at some point all faculty members have experiencedfriction, differences in ability, a student taking over and free riding in their pairs. While often notserious enough to break up a pair, the issue is mitigated though individualized grading and verbalwarnings.While WCU do not currently use CATME they will be implementing it from the fall of 2017.The collection, statistical analysis and sharing of such data though

The faculty workshops are scheduled to be conducted for threeconsecutive years at Michigan Tech and in Year 2 and 3 at Bay College. These workshops areoffered to faculty members of two- and four year institutions and are designed to increasepractical experience in Industrial Robotics as well as renew the interest and empower thoseseeking to revamp existing courses or develop new courses in Industrial Robotics.These 2-day, 16 contact hour workshops are designed to be an intense, immersive experiencethat provide a broad spectrum of activities to participants. The workshop starts by conducting asurvey and pre-test. The survey, an anonymous questionnaire, is
-20 educational and economic opportunities, includingfinancial requirements, are explored. The paper reviews the definition of P-20 and how P-20supports Engineering Technology. Supporting information illustrates the program values andbeliefs for P-20 leaders. P-20 leaders must be innovators, exploring creative solutions to resolveeducational issues and problems. The role of innovation in education and the importance of thedevelopment of new teaching methods and solutions are examined. The successful P-20 leadermust implement ideas and new methods. The importance of successful innovationimplementation is researched. Leadership development is important to the P-20 student, and therequirements of leadership are explained. Diversity and the
undertaking the ALERT (Active Learning inEngineering Technology) initiative to address the issue by implementing evidence-based activelearning techniques in selected courses to foster students’ interest and persistence. Statics,Dynamics and Thermodynamics are the target courses. Statics is a gateway course foundationalto the rest of the program, Dynamics is taken right after Statics, and Thermodynamics is one ofthe most challenging senior level courses. These courses are serving as the avenues formeasuring the effectiveness of using active learning techniques. The specific techniques we areimplementing are: in-class experiments, just-in-time teaching, team quizzes, and students asteachers. On a broader impact, the ALERT initiative will be the launch
