JOHNSON Texas A&M University College Station, TX  \nABSTRACT  \nThis paper discusses an initiative called Product Innovation and Development (PID) that was launched at Texas A&M University. The goal of PID is to create a high impact learning environment that focuses on innovative product development. Undergraduate students are hired to develop innovative new products. The student teams generate ideas for new products, conduct market analysis, design and manufacture the product, sell the products, and provide technical support to the customers. It is intended that the PID projects generate revenue and become self-sustainable in the future. To maximize the impact, project materials are being used in various courses to enhance the curriculum. Project examples are presented to illustrate the PID process. Student learning is evaluated through surveys distributed to different groups of students who received potential benefits from PID.  \nKey words: Product development, Bloom’s taxonomy, Philosophy of engineering education  \nINTRODUCTION  \nA typical engineering technology curriculum in a higher-education institution in the United States contains common body of knowledge (CBK) courses followed by technical courses in a specific major. In most programs, students do not have an opportunity to work on real-world projects that involve every aspect of the product development process until the capstone/senior design courses in their senior year. Due to the lack of experience with real-world projects, many students majoring  \nSPRING 2018 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nCreating a High Impact Learning Environment for Engineering Technology Students  \nin engineering technology have trouble understanding the gap between the material they learn in class and their expectations of engineering [27, 39] . This could contribute to the high attrition rate among engineering technology majors.  \nTo improve student learning and lower the attrition rate, Texas A&M University invested heavily in seven activities [34] . These are:  \n1. Enhance the students’ preparation for the workplace and society through high impact learning;  \n2. Develop integrated interdisciplinary experiences for students;  \n3. Enhance the core curriculum outcomes and elements through technology and distance education;  \n4. Enhance the opportunities for colleges to allocate credit by exam or credit for demonstration of competencies;  \n5. Enhance the outreach to PK-12 and community colleges in order to improve college readiness;  \n6. Enhance faculty development in high impact, non-traditional, deep learning pedagogies;  \n7. Enhance support for graduate students.  \nThe majority of the funding was directed to Activity 1, where the main objectives are to enhance students’ preparation for the workplace through high impact learning and advising for progress toward degrees. After realizing the importance of a high impact learning environment for providing engineering technology students with product development experience in the real-world setting, the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution (ETID) submitted an Activity 1 proposal to the Provost’s office and received funding for three years from 2012-2015 [38] . The establishment of the Product Innovation and Development (PID) initiative, funded by Activity 1, was presented in [38] . This paper presents the completed work, evaluation results, and analysis. Section II discusses Bloom’s taxonomy of student learning, high impact learning, and the PID initiative. Section III contains examples of PID projects. The impact of PID on curriculum is discussed in Section IV. The evaluation of student learning is presented in Section V.
