Objective 2: Expand the number of workers who have skills needed by a growing advanced manufacturing sector and make the education and training

Itprovides a clear graphical outline of the core content of manufacturing programs. The four pillarsmodel has been adopted by the accreditation groups in ABET and ATMAE, through the SME.The four pillars model groups specific knowledge and skills into topic- and process-basedcategories. The content of the Four Pillars model has been related to industry practices includinga recent study by Nutter5. Therefore, an assessment plan that maps an academic curriculum to thefour pillars can directly establish an industry relevance.This paper outlines a process for

Studentsin the E-Scholars program develop their entrepreneurial mindset. They learn how to come upwith innovative ideas and develop realistic business plans around them. Through requireddomestic and international travel they also learn how to do business anywhere in the world.E-Scholars commit to an academic curricular program, taking three three-credit entrepreneurshipcourses during their junior year.

time measurements: 1) Planning time: the duration from a student receiving the problem to the time (s)he startingto write code. Because these students haven’t taken any software engineering courses, they don’thave any formal knowledge of design and specification. They rely on the reading of the projectdescription to understand the requirements of the project. So this measurement tells us how muchtime the students take to comprehend the project requirements and it is not the time for design orrequirement analysis. 2) Coding time: the duration from when the student starts to write the code to her/hisattempt to run the first usage scenario of the project.
