Although the lure of hard money wasbeginning to look like a significant problem for establishing long term continuity, we had nochoice but to initiate the hiring process once more under grant funding. This time a larger andmore diverse applicant pool emerged, perhaps a consequence of timing or a declining economy,and we had become more proficient in the screening process. With several good candidates inthe queue, we were able look beyond the basic knowledge and skills needed to also considerideas they might have to grow and strengthen the program.

This creates an inherent gap between theAAS degree and articulation into a traditional 4-year Bachelor of Science degree. Both studentsand employers of the AAS students realize that they need something beyond the AAS degree tohandle the complex systems used today, but the educational path for them to achieve this goal isnot clearly defined or easy to follow. Additionally, the latest "Gathering Storm" report notes thattoday's work force must constantly be upgrading

In order to facilitate the offering of appropriatecourse work and efficient transfer of credit hours between two and four year institutions, it mightbe helpful to have a streamlined accreditation process for community college engineeringprograms that would assure students as well as the universities they transfer to that the coursework taken at a community college was viable. This certification would be even more importantfor students transferring beyond the local service area of their community college.Although an ABET

Teaching as PedagogyTeam teaching originated as pedagogy in 1963 when William Alexander, “Father of theAmerican middle school”, proposed a concept of grouping teachers into teams to educatestudents groups as a means for junior high school reform. The perceived benefits of teamteaching, namely the creation of a supportive, inclusive environment for students and thenecessity for teaming teachers to formally engage one another in planning, integration,evaluation, and reflection, have helped promote its use across K-12 and into higher education 7.Team teaching is collaborative teaching. For all of its many benefits, teaching collaborativelyrequires much above and beyond what is required if one is teaching solo. A true co-taught courseis integration

Materials Science CourseAbstractA substantial percentage of engineering graduates, especially those from traditionallyunderrepresented groups, complete their lower-division education at a community college beforetransferring to a university to earn their degree. However, engineering programs at manycommunity colleges, because of their relatively small scale with often only one permanentfaculty member, struggle to offer lower-division engineering courses with the breadth andfrequency needed by students for effective and efficient transfer preparation. As a result,engineering education becomes impractical and at times inaccessible for many communitycollege students. Through a grant from the National Science Foundation ImprovingUndergraduate STEM

Some programs on the same campus and at otherinstitutions include students from many different majors, who may or may not be assigned amentor from the same major. This department’s internal approach allows for a major-specificfocus and a higher degree of connection and rapport between mentors and mentees. For example,the mentors can easily relate to situations that mentees are going through, as they have mostlikely had similar experiences with specific courses and
