and its partners in the construction industry.IntroductionPartnership between Educational Institution and Industry is not a new concept in fosteringlearning among students. There are many universities that work closely with business,government, and industry partners to develop programs to fit their needs. Universities andindustries traditionally maintained collaborations by including student internships, facultyexchanges, and industry design projects to complete a degree program. The purpose of thesepartnerships is to meet the needs of industries, governments, national laboratories, and thetraining needs of the university students.The goal of any university engineering technology curriculum is to provide the information andskills so each

Properly designedexercises with appropriate individual-accountability measurements work very well in largelectures. In each course, the students formed cohesive learning teams. The teams enjoyed theactive learning challenge problems and directed class discussion. My role evolved from alecturer to the role of facilitator and mentor. Facilitating these learner-centered classrooms is themost rewarding experience I have had as a faculty member.However, managing large active learning classrooms is not for the weak-at-heart.

The undergraduate and graduate mentors participated in discussions andworkshops covering topics such as being a role model in the lab; promoting a “growth mindset”[12 ] and incorporating inclusive pedagogy when mentoring [13]; what “success” means andwho decides; examining different identities [14]; and leveraging the mentoring experience whenapplying for future career jobs. During these sessions, the mentors reported the desire to run theworkshops for the high school students themselves and they also helped design the futureiteration of WRAMP.Meanwhile, the feedback from the WRAMP high school participants demonstrated the desire tohave more interactions with the mentors and other WRAMP participants.

While there are many non-fiction science based picture booksthat can complement a science based hands-on activity for young children, there are virtually nobooks introducing young children to the world of engineering.

A previouspaper addressed these concerns in a senior-level mechanical engineering course by adding hands-on manufacturing experiences, field trips to commercial manufacturing facilities, and self-learning assignments enabling a partially flipped classroom [2]. Over the past four years,multiple improvements have been introduced to the course to adapt to pandemic restrictions,improve the self-learning component, and better define how final grades will be determined.The first set of changes was motivated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
