-Credential Development, Evaluation, and StandardizationAbstract:Penn State is the flagship and land-grant university for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania andtherefore has an active outreach program serving Pennsylvania industry and citizens that hasexpanded in scope nationally and internationally over the years. Penn State is now evaluatinghow micro-credentials can be used to strengthen educational experiences and provide upskillingfor its students and working professionals. The School of Engineering Design and Innovation(SEDI) in the College of Engineering (COE) is responsible for leading professional developmentinstruction for engineers and others working in technical fields.

graduate degree program in Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech.Responding to strong industry comments, five engineering departments (AOE, ME, ISE, MSE, and ESM) atVirginia Tech have established a new practice-oriented master’s degree (MEng). The new degree fit withinexisting guidelines so that no new administrative approval was required. On an individual department basis theaddition of several new courses each would have been impossible. By working together it became possible toadd two new college-wide courses. We believe that the new program is unique in that it is trulymultidisciplinary. Students from the five different college of engineering departments will be taking classestogether and working on the design project teams together
