As the program matured, two college creditcertificates were developed. The first certificate is the AI Awareness Certificate, where studentshad to take both the AI Thinking and AI Ethics course, and choose either an AI Business classor AI Robotics course.

At the writing of this paper,64.9 % of students enroll in study abroad programs shorter than 8 weeks in duration [10].Historically, an entire semester abroad had been the convention for decades. This invites thequestion of whether and how practitioners can develop these requisite global competencies asshorter sojourns abroad undergird the paradigm.The extent to which participants acquire global competency during study abroad continues toelude researchers despite their best efforts.

Ruralstudents often lack exposure and opportunities for STEM exposure during K-12, which can impacttheir motivation and readiness for STEM majors and careers. [8, 1, 2, 9]. In addition, rural studentsoften have difficulty transitioning to a more urban setting where universities and researchinstitutions are typically located [10].

Conventional wisdom attributes high attrition fromengineering to other disciplines an unavoidable cost of under-prepared or unmotivated studentsentering engineering degree programs. As noted by [2] and others, not all those who exit theengineering discipline do so primarily because of low academic performance.Several researchers have examined the career pathways of students who have left engineeringand found success in other STEM disciplines [8, 9, 10] but largely absent from the publishedliterature is specific information on students who transfer from engineering into ET.

This large energy consumption makes manufacturing an attractive sector tofocus on, because a small reduction in energy consumption through utilization of energy efficientequipment and practices could result in significant savings. The report (2001) of the NationalEnergy Policy Development group (NEPD) led by Vice-president Cheney named six industriesthat consume three-quarters of all industrial energy3. They are lumber and paper; chemicals;petroleum refining; primary metals; food processing; and stone, clay, and glass.

The Green Engineering Program applies these tools to the design, retrofit, andoptimization of feedstocks, waste streams, and unit operations in processes and products.The concept of risk assessment takes into consideration the extent of harm a chemical and its usecan pose to the environment. While traditional pollution prevention techniques focused onsimply reducing as much waste as possible by treating all wastes as equal, risk assessmentmethods used in pollution prevention can help quantify the degree of environmental impact forindividual chemicals. With this approach to pollution prevention, engineers

Any dangerous, repetitive, and/or boringmotion is a candidate for automation. However, developing good motion-control routines forrobots is generally much more difficult than completing the same tasks ourselves. Picking up,moving, and placing stacking blocks, for example, is a trivial task for most adults, but can bequite challenging to program.Starting from the provided code, students’ task was to accomplish as many of the followingchallenges as they can in the time available.
