Given that the objective was not to teach a programming language, but to havethem deploy design functionality, they were allowed to access other resources and even usesource code from websites. They were given assignments for a number guess game to providethe concepts of loops and if statements. A following assignment had them write a program toflash the S-O-S pattern in Morse code on an LED.

begins to investigate different first-year engineering (FYE) programmethods and teaching pedagogies to apply to an introduction to engineering technology course ata regional campus that has a 47% first-generation college student demographic. The overall goalof this study is to turn an introduction to engineering technology course into a first-yearengineering technology (FYET) program. A first-year program is being described as acurriculum that requires a majority of the students to take the same college specific course(s)within the first year of their college career regardless of what their major is.Literature ReviewFYE programs are common in engineering schools across the United States with a large portionof universities restructuring their

We aimto reframe this mindset and look at the capital and assets that FGS possess and how they navigatestructures of engineering. We also want to understand what culture and support leads to successin engineering. Martin et al. [13] began the turn in questioning the “deficit” framing of thisgroup. We aim to build on this research with our study. We will use mixed methods tounderstand their experiences and the capital, beyond networks, that they used to persist inengineering.

Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM)program can stimulate engineering identity development among students, particularly thoseunder financial constraints [15]. The role of academic institutions in this process has also beendemonstrated in the literature by highlighting the potential of STEM enrichment programs insteering students toward graduate programs in science [16]. The literature underscores that theseprograms are not merely avenues for academic support but can significantly influence studentperformance, degree completion, and even graduate enrollment.

involved over the years teaching Mechanical, Industrial,Manufacturing, and Mechatronics Engineering Technology capstone courses at PNW.In the 1980’s and 1990’s, capstone projects were typically associated with a student’s workplaceat this university which was, at that time, focused on part-time adult learners. In the past twodecades the student body has shifted to younger, full-time students and senior capstone projecttopics, execution and outcomes have changed with the changing student body. With the shiftaway from part-time students, there are fewer adult learners in the classroom who are currentlyworking in the field. This results in a larger population of students who do not have existingaccess to industrial project experiences.Prior to this

More needs to be done in drawing from the experiences reported byothers to improve this model of operation.ConclusionsTo meet a specific need for our department and our students, the author piloted a program toallow one instructor to teach groups of students simultaneously on two campuses. This programwas started prior to the COVID pandemic. After it became possible to return to the classroom,development work continued. At this time, this method of instruction has been brought to a levelwhere courses can be reliably offered at two or more locations simultaneously by a singleinstructor.Bibliography[1] Nozaki, S., & Clippinger, D., & Liao, Y., & Study
