Meeting Enrollment Challenges in Engineering Technology at Penn State AltoonaAbstractIn fall 2005, engineering technology enrollments experienced a sharp decline at theAltoona campus of the Pennsylvania State University. Prior to this time, enrollments inthe associate degree programs of Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) andElectrical Engineering Technology (EET) were fairly steady. Since the baccalaureateprogram in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (EMET) was designed to offerstudents completing the associate degree programs a four-year option, these enrollmentswere also fairly steady for a number of years, and the pronounced decrease in the numberof students in the two-year programs potentially threatened this

American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Teaching the teachers: Expanding impact of technical education through Secondary SchoolsAbstractSecondary schools are in a prime position to introduce students into careers in Supply ChainManagement and Logistics. However, these teachers often lack any practical experience in thefield and lack the understanding to communicate the latest trends, technologies, and careeropportunities to their students. The teachers also lack understanding in how to connect thesehigh-demand careers to their current course offerings in technology or business management.The NSF Award “Technology-Based Logistics: Leveraging Indiana’s Role as the Crossroads ofAmerica” (Awards 1304619

As part of a larger project, we aredeveloping a suite of surface characterization methods appropriate for STEMeducational purposes. Surface characterization of materials ordevices/components in various stages of production is a useful and instructiveeducational project for engineering students because of its importance to a widevariety of
