the future, the goal is to fullyintegrate the local expos into the high school curriculum. The modified “teachers kit” that havebeen distributed to the participating high school teachers included lesson plans on advancedmanufacturing and the design process along with related career information including jobs andtheir pay scale. Teachers now have the option of having students work on a design project that isan extension of the expo experiences. The high school students and their teachers also now havethe ability to work with their local community college faculty and the college students on adesign project that can be prototyped at the community college. This concurrent strategy,outreach to high school educators and their students combined with
math placement directly resulted in students taking an advanced math course than initially planned, better first-year retention rates and projected shorter time to graduation. Furthermore, the program kept downward movement minimal (12% in 2022, 7% in 2023), demonstrating its effectiveness in solidifying existing knowledge. While longer-term data is needed to assess its impact on retention definitively, the program's early success in boosting math proficiency suggests its potential to address critical issues within the engineering curriculum and significantly improve freshman success in these disciplines. To better understand long-term impacts, students in the program are tracked to examine time-to-degree data in the future.3.2

development of engineering education curriculum.Education researchers unequivocally identified the importance of incorporating laboratoryexercise in engineering course curriculum design, offering valuable insights to optimize theefficacy of laboratories through several case studies [1–5]. Researchers effectively argue the casefor incorporating practical components into engineering classes, emphasizing the value ofproblem-based or project-based learning (PBL) which aims to bridge theoretical knowledge withreal-world applications [6].Numerous literatures present some innovative designs of hands-on laboratory practice under theengineering course curriculum.

Common to national reports on engineering education in the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 80s and 90sare, among other things, calls for emphasizing communications and social skills, integrating theliberal arts, particularly social sciences, into the curriculum, incorporating good teaching andcontinued curricular development, and instilling in students an appreciation for life-long learning.9ABET’s Criteria 200010 emphasizes these elements, providing the strongest impetus to date forreform.
