Theyhave provided us with many senior design projects over the years.The reception of this idea by local industry was very positive because they realized they wouldbenefit greatly. Industry organizations get their design problems solved free of labor costs; allthey would need to pay for are the parts and materials. Additionally, this provides the mechanicalengineering program with support for practical and real-world engineering design problems.The types of design projects that local industry organizations are interested in include thefollowing: Developing a

Fig. 1: Percentage of Underrepresented Minority Groups at Stages of the STEM PipelineHigh schools that serve primarily underrepresented student populations often lack the resources toadequately prepare and guide students for STEM careers. Twenty-five percent do not offer AlgebraII, 40% do not offer chemistry or physics, and only 33% offer Calculus, and only 6% offercomputer science [12, 13]. In areas with high poverty, limited access to resources – such as high-speed internet – means that guidance counselors often have out-of-date or limited materials to helphigh school students apply for college.

succession of flawed designs with fatal results– many of them afflicting the projects of the patron that so clearly saw science as the panacea;the Challenger, the Stark, the Aegis system in the Vincennes, and so on. Those failures exude astrong scent of inexperience, or hubris, or both, and display an apparent ignorance of, ordisregard for, the limits of stress on materials and people under chaotic conditions. Successfuldesign still requires the stores of expert tacit knowledge and intuitive „feel‟ of experience; itrequires engineers steeped in an understanding of existing engineering systems as well as in thenew systems being designed.” The conclusion Ferguson reaches is that computerization is not theproblem but has become the enabler to the

Research Center) in 2004; a smaller version of thisstudy (n=16) was repeated in 2013 [2]. Results from Gatchell and Linsenmeier’s study [2],suggest a set of core competencies exists. Within this core are principles in mechanics,physiology, and design with biology, circuit analysis, computing, statistics, materials, andinstrumentation; transport and signals and systems were also close to the marker for core.However, recruiter hesitance to hire biomedical/bioengineers for standard engineering rolesremains [5].Therefore, as a field we should focus on developing a standardization amongst curriculumsleading us to core competencies in our biomedical/bioengineering programs. Throughout thisdevelopment, a focus on industry-needs may prove beneficial, as

Feedback from industry representatives highlighted concerns about anobserved lack of safety knowledge on the part of engineers and construction supervisors as wellas trepidation over a lack of standards for basic project safety competencies.

laws. With the continuousdevelopment of engineering technology, the human value of modern engineering hasgradually surpassed its instrumental reason value. The materials that the engineeringtechnology field needs to do its work are drawn from the environment, and at the same time,the engineering field adds value to it. If value is not added, engineering is meaningless. [4]People looking at projects from different perspectives (economic, political, and social) willvalue the pursuits of engineering technology differently. The direct purpose of PCEE is toreduce or eliminate the gap between these different parties.The authors of this study view PCEE as the exchange of scientific and technologicalknowledge and values in the process of transforming

Comparison of Employer to FLDoE Framework Topics In Figure 7, FLDoE frameworks were meeting or surpassing the desires of employerswhen the blue bars (FLDoE) where equal to or surpassed the orange (employers) bars. This wasevident in areas such as production, products, systems, mechanical operations, and processes.There were also topics with “adequate” topical coverage, with adequate coverage defined as lessthan one percentage point deference between FLDoE and employer competencies. Areas withadequate coverage were equipment, environmental and electronics-related topics. Finally, gapsin coverage between employer job postings and FLDoE frameworks were identified there wasmore than one percentage point of separation between mentions. These gaps
across multiple disciplines, but all sharing a fundamental core of knowledge onpower and energy.In response to this need for a power and energy engineering workforce, with advice and guidancefrom an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB), the authors were part of a team that established twoPower and Energy Certificate programs, one for undergraduate students and one for graduatestudents. (See Holloway, et al1 for additional information about the certificate program.) Bothcertificate programs are multidisciplinary across engineering, including electrical, mechanical,chemical, civil, computer, materials, mining, and biosystems engineering. All students take acore of common classes to give them a base of knowledge across power generation, transmissionand

The program isimplemented in a work-study format, where students go to classes two days per week, and workthree days per week at a manufacturing facility. The paper starts by identifying the need formultiskilled craftsman training. After that it discusses the key components for multiskilledcraftsman preparation: Safety, basic electrical and mechanical maintenance, welding, andautomation. These components led to putting together an 80-hour 2-year curriculum that enablesgraduates to obtain an associate of science degree in engineering technology along with acertificate as maintenance technician
