research projects with hands-on explanation of engineering versus engineering technology for community college studentsAbstractA cosmic ray research project with the detection of high energy muon showers can serve as ahands-on explanation to the question of “What is the difference between engineering andengineering technology” asked by community college students. Conducting a variety of studentprojects in parallel within a semester is necessitated by the complexity of the muon showerdetection technology, already documented by several detection centers around the Globe. Ourunique community college setup includes the remote tracking of the Sun by a muon telescopemoving along the ecliptic, and the inclusion of high

, chemistry, and physics—subjects that heavily influenceacademic persistence and success. Standardized test scores and placement exams are frequentlyemployed to allocate students into these courses. However, these traditional systems are oftenplagued by limitations, including biases inherent to standardized tests, delays in transcriptprocessing, and insufficient communication regarding the importance of placement assessments.Underrepresented student groups often encounter these challenges more acutely, receivingcritical placement test information while still completing high school, a time when competingpriorities can obscure the significance of these assessments. As a result, students may bemisplaced into courses that do not align with their academic

The present paper investigated these twogroups of students as they were facing authentic problems. Since the two groups are vastly differentin their knowledge level of mathematics, physics, and mental maturity, the present paper will onlycover some comparable aspects, including the logic, steps, procedures, screening, groupcontribution, confidence, and seeking help from others.The author of the present paper served as the instructor of senior capstone projects in mechanicalengineering at a public
