lacks deeper connections withthe ‘why’. Future work should seek to integrate more qualitative data to arrive at meaningfulconclusions.Additionally, future scholarship should explore relationships between curricular interventions,such as distinctive capstone projects, for example, and other elements of the curriculum andcourse structures to identify trends that will inform practice, especially given the finding fromthis study that ET capstone students believe: It is important is it for me to become an engineeringtechnology professional. Finally, since a goal of identity-related research in ET education is to beable to make comparisons with conventional engineering or other STEM capstone experiences,the author recommends that future studies of

Most of thosein the technology genre know that patent systems exist, for example, but have scant informationas to how the systems work with regard to their technology developments. For these reasons, I submit that a need exists for a comprehensive course in ourengineering, science and technology curriculums, at the undergraduate and graduate levels,directed to the creation and enforcement of intellectual property rights, presented inunderstandable, plain non-legal language.

. Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory (1966) is used as an interpretive frameworkto examine the student’s perspectives on how to improve these core courses within theengineering curriculum. The student’s suggestions for course redesign were classified intomotivation and hygiene factors. The results show that a majority of the suggestions involvedextrinsic hygiene factors such as reducing class size, and providing more comfortable chairs andlarger tables. Fewer responses were received related to intrinsic motivation factors such ascourse content. This finding points to the need for a two-dimensional approach to increasingstudent satisfaction. Although Herzberg cautions that the effects of improved hygiene are ofshort duration, educators should not

The transition focuses onthree major technological pillars of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energymanagement. The latter pillar is to be achieved through a combination of energy storage, demandresponse, grid upgrades, and new smart communications and controls technology.The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the Center for Renewable EnergyAdvanced Technological Education (CREATE) international learning exchange with Germany.Funded by the
