In 2016, Lamar University (LU) at Beaumont, Texas was awarded an NSF ResearchExperience for Teachers (RET) site grant titled “RET Site: Incorporating Engineering Designand Manufacturing into High School Curriculum.” The goal of the project is to provideopportunities for high school STEM teachers to engage in innovative engineering design andmanufacturing research and develop advanced high school STEM curriculum modules. Theobjectives are to 1) recruit a total of 36 (12 per year) high school teachers with diversebackground for 3 years to engage in the advanced engineering design and manufacturingresearch; 2) develop and implement innovative curriculum by translating cutting-edge researchin advanced design and manufacturing from LU into high

Since the transition isinfluenced by many nested factors, including individual resources, micro- and macro-environments [6], our ESM department aims to implement a problem-based curriculum insupport of structured learning experiences that provide first-year graduate students withopportunities to develop individual and collaborative skills in conducting research andsocializing with other graduate students and faculty members. Through this course, students will:become familiar with research programs in ESM and available resources; make connections withfaculty members and students; develop collaboration skills; identify and use good and

Rather eachstudent or student team must first determine what they would like to accomplish utilizing theexisting resources. The first opportunity for this in our curriculum is in our 3D ParametricModeling course where the students must develop a model for a complex part using the skillsthey have developed during the course. The next major opportunity is in the Robotics andAutomation class where they first determine the project goal, then determine the type/number ofsensors, the type of feeding system, and finally the end-of arm tooling needed to

outcomes in alumni careertrajectories. Engineering graduates need a lifelong learning mentality and skillset that will enablethem to address complex sociotechnical challenges (some of which have yet to be predicted) andnavigate a changing labour system. Fostering these lifelong learning competencies throughcurriculum design has been a challenge in engineering programs. While scholars havedocumented curriculum and pedagogy intended to develop lifelong learning skills in students,assessment methods are typically short-term. On the other hand, studies of alumni have providedsome insight into career trajectories and workplace learning, but rarely connect these outcomesback to undergraduate experiences.To span these broad and complex concepts, we are
