Engineering Education, 2016   Developing Student Centered Partnerships: Professional Socialization and the Transition to IndustryIntroductionThere is a persistent dialogue among academic and industrial stakeholders regarding the abilityof students to transition into full-time engineering positions in industry [2, 3]. Engineeringeducators and professionals have contributed to the conversation by suggesting the need forbroader collaborations between academia and industry[4, 5]. Academic-industry partnershipshave resulted and have led to significant benefits for both academic and industry stakeholders.Academia cites gaining funds to support research, testing theory in

perspective, we can also usediscourse identity to determine students’ internalization of the discipline’s ethical canons anddisciplinary identity based on how they discursively position themselves in relation to the valuesof the profession. For example, research conducted by Dannels [17] and Douglas and colleagues[43] explored the discursive practices utilized by students throughout a variety of academiccontexts. They found that students did not perceive themselves as engineers; they perceivedthemselves as students working for a grade that would lead them to graduate from an engineeringprogram. In these studies, these students utilized discourse to maintain their student identitiesand separated themselves from engineers. To strengthen the link

structures.To increase students’ learning, two teaching methods were used: case studies and problem-basedlearning (PBL). These methods were well-suited for teaching prospective scientists and engineersbecause they focus on cooperative sharing of ideas as well as healthy discussion and resolution ofproblematic issues [10, 11]. PBL-structured case studies promote higher-order learning skills, suchas application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. During case study-based learning modules,students were presented with a selected case to resolve the core issue by critically evaluating theinformation they had researched. They had opportunities to find the latest developments in a fieldand associate them with most recent social issues. This approach overcame

For example, one student explained,“I felt like a real archaeologist/researcher. Mainly I felt I received an experience that placed meinto the context of a historical analysis of the progression of technology.” Another studentcommented that exploring an inventor’s papers aided his or her understanding of the process ofinvention. “It was interesting to see a successful inventor’s first hand notes of what failed andwhat didn’t.” As we have seen in other classes

Until the study of engineering literature is recognized to the extent of being installed in the regular curriculum, so that the student may understand it to be part of his require course and think of it in these terms, there is a sound psychological reason for his regarding it lightly.”53In the mid-1920s, growing public concern about the perceived erosion of quality in engineeringeducation programs prompted SPEE to undertake a multi-year study of the problem. In 1926,SPEE issued its report, which recommended, among other things, that engineering schoolsinclude more courses on “humanistic” subjects and economics.54 The issue continued to fester inthe late 1920s and early 1930s.55 Even President
