Methods4.1 ParticipantsThe participants included 40 students enrolled in a senior-level technology class titled,Leadership Strategies for Quality and Productivity, at a large research-intensive university in theMidwest. The participant pool was diverse in terms of age and academic standing. Ages rangedfrom 19 to 25. Participants were randomly assigned to either Group A or Group B, eachconsisting of 20 students. This study has IRB approval as Exempt Category 1.4.2 InterventionThis study focused on comparing immersive Virtual Reality (VR) lessons with traditionalPowerPoint (PPT) lessons, offering students a unique learning experience across three keytopics.

Dvorak Ph.D., Dave Olwell Ph.D.AbstractThe Washington Veterans to Technology (WaV2T) program offers a 16-week certificate courseproviding military personnel and their spouses with a pathway to information technology careers.Building on the success of the Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA), WaV2Tdelivers three specialized tracks: Server & Cloud Application, Cloud Application Development,and Cybersecurity Administration. Through Saint Martin's University's accredited ComputerScience Department, participants earn 18 transferable semester credits while receivingcomprehensive technical training and professional development. Over 11 years, the program hasachieved a 98% graduation rate and 94% overall success rate, with 74% of graduates
emergence of the Internet economy (knowledge-based economy/digital economy)due to the growth of PC/networking technologies, has also led to an increase in theenrollment numbers of the distance education programs in public and private institutions.The scale of this increase can be gauged by the following facts and figures published bythe national center for education statistics in its report titled “Distance Education atDegree Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2000-2001” [7]: Fifty-six percent (2,320) of all 2-year and 4-year degree granting institutions offered distance education course for any level or audience…Ninety percent of public 2-year and 89 percent of public 4-year institutions offered distance education courses

developed SMET concentration under an EngineeringTechnology (ET) program.1. BackgroundSince the end of the last century, the manufacturing industry has been significantly evolving dueto the quick emergence of novel technologies and the increasing need for more flexible,sustainable, and efficient manufacturing methods [1]. The idea that traditional manufacturing hasgiven way to what is now called SM embodies this change. As can be seen in Figure 1, thenotion of smart industry is fundamentally about incorporating advanced technologies into theproduction process, including several automation, control, and robotic components [2][3]. All ofthese advanced manufacturing components help producers better meet the market's ever-changing demands while also
The Enterprise Program at Michigan Technological University: A Professional Development Curriculum in Action Mary Raber, Michael Moore Michigan Technological UniversityAbstractIn 2000, Michigan Tech introduced The Enterprise Program (www.enterprise.mtu.edu), aninnovative and integrated learning experience that offers all students on campus, but especiallyengineering majors, an opportunity to learn through the process of starting and operating theirown businesses. Students participate in this program by pursuing either a twelve-creditEnterprise Concentration, or a twenty-credit Enterprise Minor.The Enterprise curriculum requires students complete a

).The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the motivations, beliefs, goals, needs, andvalues driving academic researchers’ decisions to engage in academic entrepreneurship activitiesin light of both institutional and national initiatives designed to catalyze these activities. It willalso examine some motivation-related barriers undermining participation. The focus is on moreinformal human dimensions within the context of formal institutional strategy and public policy(Balven et al., 2018).Literature ReviewThe Movement to More Entrepreneurial UniversitiesThe passage of the Bayh-Dole Act by Congress in 1980 catalyzed the movement tocommercialize technologies emerging from U.S. research universities (Aldridge & Audretsch,2011

This is the premise behind the Design for Commercialization (DFC) model.Commercial development of renewable energy technology began since the early 1990s, but yetthe amount of modern renewable energy only accounts for 16.7% of the world’s energy demand(Renewable energy policy network for the 21st century REN21, 2012)25. It is a clear indicatorthat commercializing new and emerging renewable energy technologies is still a problem whichneeds to be addressed.A major obstacle to commercializing new technologies like renewable energy is the length oftime to scale the technology from pilot plants to

ETD 415Several new initiatives drove changes in engineering education during the next several decades.Among these were ABET 2000 and “The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the NewCentury.” The latter report was sponsored by the National Academy of Engineering andaddressed the idea of the “knowledge economy” and the ability to be able to adapt to a constantlychanging global economy [9].Since many two-year engineering technology programs were originally designed to supplysupport technicians for engineers in a particular field, much of what has been already statedabout engineering education can be applied to engineering technology programs.

primary considerations. Thefirst is developmental impact: a child’s developing brain requires active interaction with caregiversto build critical bonds that support self-awareness and interpersonal connections. Disrupting thisparent-child relationship through excessive device use can lead to negative behavioral responses,such as aggression, as children may perceive a lack of engagement as a form of neglect. Thesedisrupted bonds are now evident in the Gen Z population, many of whom were raised during theearly 2000s when emerging gadget technologies increasingly competed for parental attention. Theresulting lack of consistent interaction may have contributed to weaker parent-child connectionsand long-term developmental implications.The second
Strategic Collaboration (TM): A Model for Mentoring Women Faculty in Science, Engineering, and Technology Mara H. Wasburn Purdue UniversityAbstractNumerous studies of women faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) disciplines have described greater isolation, a lack of access to information andprofessional opportunities, and fewer mentors than their male counterparts. Women faculty arepromoted more slowly, and are far more likely to leave an institution before gaining tenure. Thispaper argues that Strategic Collaboration (TM), a new, formal mentoring model that relies uponregular, focused group interaction among

The ultimate goal of this survey is to help inform how Making and makerspacescan best be incorporated into engineering and engineering technology education. Findings fromthis survey indicate that university makerspaces emphasize both education and entrepreneurshipin their primary uses, though they may vary in physical characteristics

ideas need to be brought into the field. Therefore, a new simulation-based teaching systemsuch as the use of vitual and segmented reality technologies is needed to better prepare studentsfor their future careers as professional engineers. By implementing a new engineering teaching system that considers the continually evolvingtechnologies emerging in the engineering field, students can advance highway design and perfectit. Without such a teaching system, students will not be able to get their transportation classesfull experience, whether it be given online or face-to-face.

across manydomains, sciences, or technologies. Thus, it is necessary for technology innovation centers to create unique niches thatdifferentiate them from other technology-oriented universities focusing on the most significantproblems facing our global society. This competitive focus emphasizes the intersection betweeninnovation, technology, production, and the creation and diffusion of knowledge2. It embraceshow technology and innovation centers shape emerging methodology and environments tomaximizing their capability to innovate. Coupled with this reality, is the pressure for technology-oriented universities to meet theABET standards for accreditation. Technology innovation and research centers provide anexcellent vehicle for
