Faced with pending retirements and the difficulty in retaining personnel recruitedfrom outside the region, industry, government organizations, local communities, and the educationcommunity have banded together to focus on math, science, engineering, and technology education,and formed (in 2002) the Math, Science, Engineering, and Technology (MSET) Consortium toincrease the college going student population and to educate and graduate engineers locally. Theinitiative is known locally as Homegrown6.The Need for Engineering Education in the Antelope ValleyThe need for engineering education in the Antelope Valley is

City Tech is a minority and Hispanic serving institution ranked third inthe nation by NSF in the number of associate-level STEM degrees awarded to Black students,23rd in degrees awarded to male students, and 48th in degrees awarded to women. During the pasttwo years (fall 2015 - spring 2017) we have provided ninety-five
encouraged across an increasinglywide range of disciplines, the approach to teaching entrepreneurship has not been standardized.There are a number of competing perspectives regarding the most effective curriculum forteaching entrepreneurship. To make the matter even more complex, these perspectives differfrom school to school (e.g., from the business school to the engineering school) and also fromstudent level to student level (e.g., from undergraduate student to graduate student).1Business schools were the initial locus for entrepreneurship education, although a fewengineering programs such as the one at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology can laylegitimate claim to being pioneers of the genre. Still, it is not in dispute that
the world rapidly changes, one must be and continuously learn ready to learn for the duration of their career. Technological growth is inevitable and makes Adapting to new engineering more efficient. One must be technology willing and learn this new technology as it is implemented. Engineering exists in conjunction with many disciplines and quite closely with the business Business knowledge realm. It calls for the understanding of economics, finance, marketing

Research to Practice K-12 Engineering Resources: Best Practices in Curriculum DesignAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a curriculum design-based (CDB)professional development model on K-12 teachers’ engineering knowledge, attitudes, andbehaviors. This teacher professional development approach differs from other training programswhere teachers learn how to use a standard curriculum and adopt it in their classrooms. In a CDBprofessional development model teachers actively design lessons, student resources, andassessments for their classroom instruction. In other science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) disciplines, CDB professional development has been reported to (a)position teachers as

Her research includes examining the ways in which children and adults critically analyze technologies and investigations of factors that support and those that hinder elementary teachers as they learn to teach engineering.

criteria for research-oriented faculty.2. The Professional Advancement Path for EngineersIn modern, high technology industries, engineers are a necessary, and a valued resource. Theseengineers create (invent), design, develop, and innovate to produce new / improved /breakthrough technologies. Most of these engineers enter the industrial workplace with aBaccalaureate degree. They progress up the professional ladder to increased compensation, andhigher pay grades as their capability is demonstrated by a progressive gain in their abilities, andnot by seniority. The process of Lifelong Learning for these engineers in industry is verynecessary since the engineering profession is not static, but continues to advance rapidly. Thislearning is composed of

Forvarious reasons, Hispanic students and students of color in STEM have higher DFW and collegedrop-out rates than their white peers [5]. These disparities are representative of the nationwidetrends [5].

Powered by www.slayte.com An Empirical Study of Programming Languages Specified in Engineering Job PostingsAbstractAdvancements in information technology have driven a demand for computer literacy and agrowing need for engineers to develop computer programming skills. Given the shift in demandfor these skills in engineering, educators must assess the learning outcomes of current curriculaand the selection of programming language utilized to develop students’ foundational knowledgeof programming in order to prepare students for their future careers. One way to approach thiscourse content decision is to teach based on industry needs. The purpose of this study was toidentify the programming languages desired by

Perceptions of the Engineering Classroom ExperienceAbstractIn this paper, we examine student perceptions of different delivery modalities used in twosections of a course in machine component design. This is an undergraduate course required formechanical engineering and engineering technology students. The goal of this study is toinvestigate how an instructor’s chosen pedagogy relates to a student’s perception of a course,within the context of a polytechnic institution. Students in two sections of the course, taught bytwo different instructors, were surveyed using both qualitative and quantitative questions tocompare between two pedagogical approaches. One approach utilized open-ended problemsolving and another focused more
engineering-related topics. Furthermore, it shows how these lab-scale models are being used in teaching petroleum courses. In theend, the paper shows the impact of these lab scale models on student engagement and learning by presenting students’feedback on the use of these visualization labs in teaching petroleum engineering courses.1. BackgroundAt Bob L. Herd Department of petroleum engineering, there are many undergraduate Labs used in teaching petroleumengineering classes (Heinze and Gamadi 2019). Here is a list of these Labs.1.
