activities.Through course and capstone projects, the students work in teams on projects that go beyondsimply learning theory and expose them to industry best practices. Also, many students continuetheir learning outside of the classroom by participating in paid opportunities supported throughfaculty research programs. Not only are they augmenting their skills, the opportunity to get paidoften allows a student who has to work to support their college education to do so in anenvironment that adds to rather that distracts from their education. Finally, the opportunity towork on a next-generation product for a real customer with the idea that the work may find itsway into the commercial sector is extremely motivational to most students and helps drive

Benefits of Honors contracts to thestudent include working closely with a faculty mentor, tailoring their education based on theirinterests and take a greater responsibility in their education [5].The impact of the Honors contactsin undergraduate engineering research at WCU has been far-reaching and significant.In this paper, the motivations, practices, and impact of the Honors contracts are examined.Student perceptions and the applications of Honors contracts, in developing an undergraduateengineering research experience

Those that graduate with adegree in engineering technology need to understand the impacts of codes, standards andregulations within their particular industry. By having undergraduates participate in the research,application, and evaluation of these standards, undergraduates will be better prepared to enter theworkforce and provide valuable insight to their employers.

Hiringcompanies directly benefit, as these programs provide industry relevant experiences andknowledge that significantly reduce the training development time and costs to provide similarexperiences in-house. This model has worked well for decades but is challenged by rapidtechnical advances, reduced academic funding, and an expanding impetus to maintainaffordability in undergraduate education.This confluence of factors has the potential to impact the ability of universities to keep facilitiesat a state representative of current industry practice, possibly resulting in a transition towardsimulation-based experiences and a reduction in equipment-based experiences

The introductory materials course for themanufacturing and mechanical engineering technology degree programs at the campuses ofPurdue University gives an overview of properties, processing, and applications of polymers,composites, and non-traditional materials commonly used in industry. Students develop problemsolving skills through practice in the areas of materials selection, evaluation, measurement,testing and processing. Beginning in 2014, multiple innovations have been applied to thismaterials course at different campuses to address the needs of learners ranging from traditionalfull-time residential students coming

One example of such a course can be Mechanics (Mora, Sancho-Bru, Iserte, & Sánchez,2012). ePortfolios could be designed to help assess formative, continuous, and transfer of learningin courses with a large number of students, as well as for assessing graduate engineering programs(Kajfez et al., 2013), or supervision of final engineering projects (Filella et al., 2012). Furthermore, ePortfolios can document experiential learning and research-based learningthrough online engineering labs through cloud-based personal learning environments (Terkowsky,May, Haertel, & Pleul, 2013
