NeedsAbstractAs institutions of higher education strive to maintain effective and affordable educationalpathways, innovative partnerships between associate and baccalaureate degree grantinginstitutions can facilitate a student’s progress while maintaining close alignment with industryneeds. This paper details the continuing efforts of a multi-year project between a two-yearcollege, a university and industry that has resulted in the creation of well-aligned associate andbaccalaureate degrees in mechanical engineering technology. These offerings represent newdegrees for both institutions, as well as an entirely new department of engineering technology forthe university that complements its already existing engineering programs. Both degrees arebased on a

Currently, it offers certificates in mechatronics and mathematical modeling [1]. Onlineeducation is known to offer many advantages, and has grown considerably in the last fewdecades. One area of great potential for growth is in science and engineering. It is an area stillsubject to a subtle but not significant barrier to market entry [4].The role of API in the partnership included the design and delivery of suitable online curriculathat satisfy the needs of ENC, including:• electromechanical/mechatronics engineering• mechanical engineering• biomedical engineeringAccording to the Bureau of

understanding, better retention of concepts, increasedinterest on the subject matter among the students, and stronger problem solving skills. Severalapproaches have been practiced by educators to ensure meaningful participation of students inlearning including problem-based learning1, “learning by doing”2, and “project-orientededucation”3 to name a few. All these approaches emphasize a “learner-centered approach” and amove from a “content-based” to a more “context-based” education4.In addition to sharpening student’s laboratory skills, most undergraduate lab-based courses areused to promote some type of hands-on learning. In conventional laboratory course students areprovided with detailed instructions on how to perform the work and, in many cases, how

We also found motivation from the study of Elton et al.2 who sought to demonstrate“some interesting and mysterious, but explainable experiments” to a K-12 audience. The keymotivator here was the term “explainable,” we really did not want anything to come across asrandom or inexplicable. The overall structure of our research project, and its credence as asenior capstone project focused on research questions that were similar to Moskal et al.3, namely“how are children impacted by an outreach program”?, and “how are the college students andfaculty impacted by the outreach program”?.

The faculty intern provides a new outlook to existingproduction problems. The company may utilize the faculty’s analytical skills to scrutinize issuesthat may require many man-hours of investigation.An advantage of the faculty intern process is that the company implicitly conveys the informationto the university on what attributes they are looking for in our program graduates.

For engineering courses, casesmay come from industrial projects or previous design projects.

A second digital course was also added to the curriculum to address what we felt wasa deficiency in the curriculum.A two semester required senior project design course sequence was added to the final twosemesters. This was a significant departure from the previous curriculum where we had a onesemester, optional senior project course. Our reasoning for this addition was that it wouldprovide a capstone experience for all students, and we could incorporate topics on projectmanagement and teamwork. We also felt that two semesters would provide students greater timeto plan and execute a design project. Most of the debate centered around the number of creditsand laboratory time for the course.

Inclusion does not, however,guarantee either the depth or degree of integration that would reliably achieve the aspirations ofThe Engineer of 2020 or EC2000 (Gravander, 2004).
