Mike also has over a decade of industry and research experience – mostly revolving around the semiconductor and bioinformatics industries – with specific experience at Texas Instruments, Intel, and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. In addition to his industry experience, Mike spent two years, while completing his Ph.D., as a National Sci- ence Foundation GK-12 fellow – teaching and bringing real-world STEM applications in two urban high schools. Since then, he has worked with university faculty to promote and extend K20 STEM outreach in Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Wyoming. He has authored peer-reviewed articles and papers, presented at national and international conferences, and taught undergraduate

In first yearmany engineering curriculums.  Although the focus of engineering education, the overall student experience relatesthese courses typically revolves around introducing directly to student retention [6]. Therefore, it is imperativestudents to various multistep design processes as well as that, while maintaining an authentic design experience,improving student skills in written and oral attention is also made to provide a positive studentcommunication techniques; they can be limited in experience.replicating the experience of working in a real world
