The main subjects in RF engineering include topics such asantennas, transmission lines, signal propagation, and components used in RF systems.The demand for RF engineers has been increasing recently due to the proliferation of wirelessdevices and applications in both commercial and defense settings. There is
have become verypopular in schools and favorable activities for students. STEM-based schools have beenestablished in several countries in response to the students' passion for science and engineering.While STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, the engineering partremoves the barriers and encapsulates all the other topics within its applications. Therefore, STEMeducators with an engineering technology background would significantly impact students’project-based and hands-on learning.This paper presents a unique engineering technology degree in STEM Education developed andimplemented at Texas A&M University. The STEM Education engineering degree resulted froma collaboration between the College of Engineering and

student readiness and contribute to the development of skilled professionalsin the engineering industry. This study provides insights for educators seeking to enhance onlinehands-on learning in engineering education.IntroductionOnline engineering education has seen significant growth in recent years due to advancements indigital technologies and the need for flexible, accessible learning opportunities [1]. However,traditional hands-on engineering courses present unique challenges in the online format. Thesecourses often involve laboratory or project-based work requiring access to specialized equipmentand collaboration with peers, which can be challenging to achieve in an online setting [2]. As aresult, educators are exploring new strategies to
applications and potential impact.An essential aspect of implementing AI in the EE curriculum is fostering collaborative researchand establishing industry partnerships [21]. Engaging students in AI-related research projectsallows them to explore real-world applications and challenges, enhancing their learningexperience. Additionally, establishing connections with industry professionals provides studentsvaluable insights into current AI practices and emerging trends. These collaborative initiativesbetween academia and industry ensure a holistic and well-rounded approach to AI integration inthe EE curriculum that remains timely and relevant to industry needs.Student Survey on AI's Role in Electrical Engineering Education: Perceptions of Benefitsand

Hence, theintegration of stories within the instructional framework can be a valuable tool for teachers inany context, including higher education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields.While the literature related to the use of stories as a pedagogical strategy contains manyexamples in both K-12 and higher education in general, the literature related to their use inundergraduate engineering and engineering technology education is limited. Even more limitedare documented accounts in which students develop their own unique story and mechanicalengineering technology (MET).This paper describes the ongoing implementation
