. The lectures were informed by the outcomes of the group discussions from theprevious week. This stage was fluid and integrated student discovery. The groups were asked tocollect artifacts concerning their research question. The artifacts were in the form of traces,documents, personal communications, records, photographs, videos, and archives. These wereindicators of group or individual life and the built environment. The students performed anartifact analysis by recognizing patterns and making generalizations. This research process andgroup discussions culminated in a scholarly paper, poster, and an on-line interactive 3Dinformation sharing system. The student outcomes and engagements from the entire courserevealed several interesting

motivation, content, and the development process of such a course.MOTIVATIONThe College has a very active Industrial Advisory Board that suggested an elective course inleadership based on their experience with similar programs developed in their firms. Theseindustry-based programs are focused on developing leaders in their engineering organizations.Several of the committee members asked to be part of the course delivery. Therefore, theobjectives for the course require the integration of a variety of perspectives with implications oncontent, delivery, and pedagogy.A quick review of other leadership courses developed by colleges of engineering indicates thatthey too were developed at the request of an industrial advisory group (Crawford 1998, Farr2009

searching for jobs. A resume that listsknowledge of four different 3D software packages clearly has its advantages.Software Certification is another hot topic right now. Companies are looking for employees thathold these certifications. Solid Works, Inventor, and Catia all have some type of certificationexam. Pro Engineer only has a certification for those who wish to be Pro/E instructors.Certification exams are a good way to perform an assessment of your ET program. This can alsobe used as an ABET assessment tool.ConclusionAfter setting up this process and analyzing the results of our online survey, we have made thefollowing decisions for our ET program at PSU.Use Solid Works as the primary teaching tool in our Engineering Graphics curriculum

Industry-University Partnership Case Study Charles Baukal1, Joe Colannino1, Wes Bussman1 and John Matsson2 John Zink Co. LLC1/Oral Roberts University2AbstractThis paper describes a partnership between an engineering equipment manufacturer and a localprivate university. The industrial partner provides adjunct instructors to teach severalmechanical engineering courses, serves on the industrial engineering advisory board, andsupports the university in a number of other ways. The students benefit from being taught byexperienced industry engineers who have a passion for teaching. The industry partner benefitsfrom direct exposure to potential hires and providing an outlet for its employees to
