Supported by NSF-ATE project funding, Polk State College has transitioned a traditional lecture/lab semester-based Engineering Technology Associate degree program to a hybrid competency-based, modular (1 credit hour), Open-Entry / Open-Exit (OEOE), non-term, self-paced, open-lab, faculty-mentored format that is accessible to all learners. This webinar will describe reasons for making the change, the benefits of adopting this format, and will present a progress update on this transition with lessons learned, student feedback, and a discussion of the enablers and barriers experienced during implementation including systems and regulations impacting registration, financial aid, and veterans benefits.
