To fulfill this mission, it is essential for institutions to align theirprogram contents with those knowledge and skill sets vital to prospective employers. Moreover,the engineering technology discipline within academic institutions typically emphasizes onapplied concepts and laboratory activities so students learn about how to apply the lessonslearned in lectures upon graduation. Yet, this is where safety is often overlooked because themain purpose of these lab

By conducting hands-onprojects and tours coupled with brief classroom lectures, the students were able to learn and thenapply that knowledge to group activities. Workshop topics included rocketry, aerodynamics,blimps, and presentation skills.
