Society for Engineering Education, 2024Relation between Out-of-Classroom Engagement Activities and Student PerformanceSarath Chandra K Jagupilla, Elizabeth O’Connell, Muhammad R HajjAbstractIn this study, the relation between out of classroom engagement activities and studentperformances, measured through GPAs, for engineering undergraduate students in civil,environmental and naval engineering majors is assessed. Five different categories of events wereidentified– career development, community building, physical activity, academic support, andfield trips. Attendance at each event was tracked and academic performance after the semesterwith activities was analyzed. In AY 2023–2024, the department hosted twenty-oneundergraduate out-of-classroom
year engineering technologydegree programs in the mid-1950’s in response to a need for more practically trained graduateswho would be able to enter the workforce without the need for specialized on the job training.ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.), the accreditation body forboth engineering and engineering technology programs, describes engineering and engineeringtechnology as “closely related professional fields that differ in curricular focus and careerpaths”[3]. Graduates from engineering programs are called engineers, graduates of four yeartechnology programs are known as technologists, and graduates from two year technologyprograms are called technicians. In general, engineering curricula are mainly focused

novel ways of connecting with relevantaudience. Our analysis demonstrates that diversity initiatives related to STEM attract voices fromvarious entities including individuals, large corporations, media outlets, and community interestgroups.IntroductionThe term “STEM education” refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics. According to Sanders (2008), in the 1990s, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) “SMET” was the shorthand for “science, mathematics, engineering, andtechnology” and an NSF program officer complained that “SMET” sounded too much like “smut,”that resulted in the new acronym “STEM” [1]. Although it took some time for STEM to catch on,and even as recently as 2003 few people know

Therefore, an increase incourses related to building energy systems may satisfy the demand of local professionalengineers. As AR technology makes students access the online course simpler through mobiledevices, it may help the state train more professional engineers through opening more onlinecourses related to building energy systems.

Engineering Technology (or discipline specific Engineering Technology) is a critical component of the concerned academic unit and provides additional opportunities for professional and intellectual development at the Masters and Ph.D. level. Thus, several academic departments offering a bachelor‟s degree in Engineering Technology have developed graduate programs. Most of the graduate programs offer a Masters in Technology with concentrations in a specific discipline such as Electrical Engineering Technology, Engineering Technology, Innovation, Energy etc. The number of universities or departments offering Masters programs in Engineering Technology or related field is relatively low (15-20) as compared to the total number of departments
