board the students use jumper wires to connectsequentially each of the internal R, G, and B LEDs to the Arduino’s 5V power supply so thatthey understand how the board is wired. Next, they move the jumper wire to one of the I/O pinsand develop and run the code to make a 1-second LED flasher using the Code::Blocksdevelopment tool. Code::Blocks was chosen as the Integrated Design Environment because itsupports programming in both standard C and Arduino C. This means that the students do notneed to use a separate tool (e.g., Arduino IDE) to program the microcontroller.Figure 1.

. Our community college willcollaborate with our Industry Advisory Board (IAB), CWD, and educational partners to (a) integrate an innovativeteaching model for technician education that includes a formalized shadowing and internship program and connectsstudents to opportunities in business and entrepreneurship. (b) require students to take a manufacturing laboratorycourse to introduce hands-on industry-related experiences; (c) include certifications that award digital badges, creditfor military training, and industry experience in our engineering technology program. It is our intention that this modelfor an enhanced educational experience designed to increase workforce readiness of students will become a blueprintfor other programs and
