Existing full-time and adjunct faculty will be on-hand to teach, andfaculty with a specialization in MET will join the teaching staff. Laboratory facilities are also indevelopment.Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering TechnologyAt Rowan University, the Mechanical Engineering program has the highest enrollment of allengineering majors, and it turns away large numbers of highly-qualified students every year,owing to space and staffing limitations.

assumption, students would only receive general education or elective credit for theelectrical and computer engineering courses they took at the community college, with none ofthose major-specific courses being applied to their degree. Our approach was congruent with theidea behind ‘revolutionizing’ the curriculum, in that a one-to-one mapping to previouslytransferrable and applicable courses should not exist. This process yielded 48 community collegeto four-year institution pathways, one set of 24 before the change and 24 after the change.We then entered these plans of study into the Curricular Analytics site and calculated thestructural complexity for each pathway. We then took the difference between the structuralcomplexity of the new curriculum

AMeducators are guided by state department of education documents that specify program content,while employers track the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that AM technicians require
experiences were the most common career choiceinfluence. This reinforces the notion that creating, facilitating, and integrating careerdevelopment experiences into curriculum is important in development of professional profilesand career interests [28]. Throughout a student’s K20 academic career, integration of positiveexperiences and decisional support will help them to approach career decision-making in a moreorganized manner [29]. Specifically, for traditional students the influence of father and classeswas significant. Prior research also citing the importance of parental influences on careerdevelopment has suggested leveraging these influences to form new relationships to supportfinding jobs and strong career pathways [30].

The survey was administered during the lastweek of the experience when the participants had completed all of the summer workshops buthad not yet implemented CBL in their teaching. However, at the end of the experience all of theparticipants strongly agreed that they were confident that they could try new approaches toteaching and learning in their classroom that focus on CBL.The summer experience also addressed how faculty might be able to use CBL approaches thathad a technology-based application and how to craft online modules or courses online.

Science program at SkylineCollege.One of the sticking points to creating a new engineering program was that there was no lab spacefor engineering lab courses. Fortunately, and in good timing, the college was approached inSummer 2015 by a donor company interested in supplying a maker space to help engage andretain underrepresented students in STEM, while also opening opportunities for communitymembers to access the maker space. The donor company had installed maker spaces at otheruniversities, but this was to be the first installed in a California community college. One of thechallenges was that, unlike four-year universities that have ample space to dedicate all-dayaccess to a lab, Skyline College had to repurpose two classrooms to clear real

This novel and innovative educational delivery model will allowstudents to achieve a high-quality baccalaureate degree in mechanical engineering technology forclose to the cost of a single year at some institutions.BackgroundNumerous collaborations between higher education institutions and industry partners have beencreated in recent years with the purpose of aligning curriculum, and more importantly student-gained competencies, with the actual skills needed by employers (1,2). These models seek toincrease the value of a higher education and minimize the degree of on-site and on-the-jobtraining that must be delivered to a new employee

A third objective ofthe project is to create a community of engineering education practitioners adapting andcontinually improving the online laboratory curricula and alternative instructional models [31].In developing the CALSTEP online laboratory courses, consideration was given to the thirteenobjectives for engineering educational laboratories defined by the ABET/Sloan Foundation effort[32, 33]. CALSTEP curriculum development also employs evidence-based approaches thatmaximize persistence and learning in a distance environment, including the use of inquiry anddesign-oriented activities that engage students in authentic engineering experiences.
