ETD Session 435 Engineering Technology Students: Factors Predicting Success Gretchen A. Mosher Iowa State UniversityIntroduction to the problemThe published literature regarding students who depart engineering has generally not examinedthose who stay in the “T” part of STEM by pursuing engineering technology (ET). Internal datafrom the authors’ department suggest that students who transfer into ET from engineering fieldsoften succeed in the more hands-on setting, but bring with them far lower early-semester GPAs.Internal data also show that these transfers may have

marketing. An early advocate for brainstorming was Osborn, who in 1957 generated a set ofideas commonly used in “brainstorming sessions” that includes the following concepts: • Generate ideas without discussion on the idea feasibility or merit. • Off the Wall ideas are welcome; there is no such thing as bad ideas. • Measure amount of ideas, the more the better. • Piggy-back on ideas of others to generate new ideas. According to Friedman, the world has become “flat”, where globalization has leveled theplaying field, allowing ideas to become a commodity. Someone in India might have an idea thatwill allow mankind to reach Mars by 2030, or a sugar-cane farmer in Brazil might figure out away to make bio

The electricity demandskyrocketed, and the state’s capacity to generate electricity could not match the sudden electricitydemand. This resulted in wide spread outages that ranged from a few hours to a few days dependingon the damage sustained in every local area. This research aims at evaluating and providing asolution to such incidents by offering a secondary, affordable, and reliable renewable source ofelectricity made from two 300-Watt solar panels tracking the sun along with the electrical hardwarenecessary to optimize electricity harnessed and stored.

The analysis focuses on four themes: theproject's origins from personal experience, negotiations with the teacher, building a teachingteam, and the evolution from pure outreach to incorporating research reflection. Findings revealkey insights about authentic community engagement: (1) beginning with genuine curiosity ratherthan research objectives allowed for greater responsiveness to stakeholder needs; (2) pre-existingcommunity connections facilitated
