andthis disconnect results in bad experiences for all. In this paper we discuss student expectationsfrom an internship experience, and the responsibilities of the business in terms of meeting thesestudent expectations. We will also discuss ways to structure and plan the internship so that thebusiness can better assess the potential and the capabilities of the intern. This can help businessesavail the internship experience as an extended job interview to hire good candidates – candidateswith organization specific training that fit in with the organizational structure and culture. II. Intern ExpectationsInternships do not mean just “busy work” anymore – whether it was running errands, filingdocuments or clerical work; students now have real

The ultimate goal of this project is to produce engineeringbaccalaureate degree graduates with lower student loan indebtedness and greater preparation forpost-degree roles.We present here our early results and lessons learned from the process of getting this program offthe ground, as well as our plans for continued growth.Program DesignThe CLEAR Scholars program provides scholarship support and academic, career, andleadership development opportunities to a cohort of students with demonstrated financial need aswell as potential to succeed in engineering, demonstrated by maintaining a GPA over 2.7 infreshman math, science, and engineering

and implement a plan to address those if necessary.Data gathered during the investigation showed that in this region nearly 1 in 3 workers wereemployed by manufacturing companies – more than twice that statewide number determined byNAM. The data also revealed that 500 qualified workers are needed every year in this region justto maintain the current manufacturing economy.1 This number does not include new emergingindustries or growth of the current industrial base.Data compiled by the US Census Bureau in their American Community survey showed that inthis 10 county region the percentage of citizens 25 and over with a high school diploma was 84.1percent and the percentage of citizens 25 and over with a BS degree was 15.3 percent.3 Clearly,in

(e.g., use of retention measures in annual rankings).1 Thewell-known Tinto Model of Institutional Departure2 has pointed to the major reasons whystudents leave academia; namely, academic difficulties, irresolution of educational andoccupational goals, and lack of integration into the intellectual and social life of the institution.Tinto and many others have subsequently offered a number of suggestions for institutionalpractices designed to retain students. Among them are: more targeted recruitment, reduction ofexperience of racial discrimination and prejudice on campus, improved chance for earlyacademic success, better and more frequent advising, more active experiential instruction, moreinformed career planning, improved social acclimation

that just returned from participating in a Page 24.914.4competition. Industry advisory board members have been eager to participate as mentors andmany volunteer every year. Members are recruited directly by students or volunteer to facultymembers, who then make their information available to students.These mentors serve as a “reality check” for the student teams, reinforcing lessons learned in theclassroom and offering direct industry advice on suggested student solutions. For example,student teams developing a site logistics plan for a construction project might be cautioned onhow contractors balance access and risk, considering how oversize

notsuccessful in the initial recruiting effort and determined that a more organized initiative wasneeded to provide sufficiently trained engineers for the analog business units. A plan wasformulated to identify the top analog faculty in North America and to recruit and hire their topgraduate students. A list of 50 professors was identified. In 1997, the Analog University Programwas established and furnished with a multi-million dollar budget to fund graduate studentstipends during their studies. The agreement was that top MS and PhD analog students would befunded at a level consistent with other graduate fellowships and research positions at therespective universities, with the understanding the students would do an internship at TI, write athesis

many influences on the new team they often struggle to budget time and set up the appropriate plans.” [Don]Chris provides another example in a meeting where he suggested a new direction and wasnot sure if it was accepted just because of his seniority: “And, so I’m asking that question, why aren’t we considering that? And they added it to the scope because of the discussion. And I don’t know if it’s for my level or things like that, why it was accepted. But – so I went and talked to some people that had been working on the project, and I told them, yeah, we got this thing added to the scope. And they’re like, oh, thank god. I’ve been telling them this for weeks; that was the way to go.” [Chris]Don

burnertraversing system were the only major components from the second generation project that werere-used. This was not surprising because of the major change in the second generation constraintof having to be easily transportable by plane. Therefore, the project described here provided asignificant design challenge for the team because a major restriction of the second generationwas removed so more capabilities were now possible.The initial substantial progress on the project the summer before the official start and thefrequent communication between the adjunct and the intern increased the attainable projectgoals. The scope of the original plan for the third generation design was substantially increasedas more and more capabilities were added to the

For example, PV peakcompared with demand peak is a topic that the students investigate by plotting actualdata.An activity plan was developed for one hour and a half session (these sessions arerepeated four times per Friday). Each session brought around 20 students; thus, between80-100 students were exposed to these concepts every Friday.Figure 3 shows a simulator built for the Friday Academy sessions. Students use it to learnthe correlations of power and temperature. They also see the output power increase aftera day of rain. The rain cleans the dust from the solar panels
