andautomation areas. These statistics clearly show there is a skill gap between industry needs andwhat current curriculum offers at community college levels and other levels. To fill these skillgap there is a need for industry driven curriculum development and this project reflected thoseissues. Driven by the program objectives, the Old Dominion University (ODU) and CCAMteam developed an approach to formulate the curriculum and courses. Since the mechatronicsprograms are mature, the approach for this project was to piggy-back on these programs tointroduce robotics technology programs into the current offerings. Mechatronics is aninterdisciplinary area of engineering that combines mechanical and electrical engineering and

Finally, field trips were arranged to help students connect the theory and hands-onactivities to real-world engineering and aviation applications. A Likert scale questionnaire wasused to inquire about participants’ opinions of STEM and to assess the effectiveness of theprogram in introducing students to STEM.

To help accomplish this goal, wehave revised the Decision-Making Competency Inventory (DMCI) [4], [5] from its originalsingle scale by adding items that allow it to map more directly to the components of Byrnes’sSelf-Regulation Model of Decision Making [4]. The first revision included three factors –Generation and Evaluation, Impulsive / Lack of Process, and Reflection [6]. A second revision,which included an additional four items expected to load onto the Reflection factor, resulted infour factors – Learning (previously Reflection, with three of the new items), Avoidance,Information Gathering, and Impulsivity [7].

This time, of crisis and commitment occurs foryouth during their middle and high school years. Engineering Identity scores reflect the extent towhich a student self-identifies as an engineer. Students provided responses to 15 items, using a5-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree; lower scores indicatehigher engineering identities.

For example, items such as “Ihave the ability to have a successful career as a researcher,” and “I have a strong interest inpursuing a career as a researcher” are reflective of the student’s career goals, but may not reflecttheir beliefs in their current research capabilities.

Alice,contrastingly, rejected the questions altogether. She holds that “smart” is a subjective termdefined by the person describing it, and that everyone is smart, just smart in different ways. Herown subjective view of smart rejects the idea of tying intelligence into the amount of effortneeded to do something, but instead is reflected in an individual’s own conscious choice to tryand learn more.When Ivan was asked about a class he had to work very hard in, he claimed that the reason hehad to work so hard was that the professor was not good at
