Another study, Gaining an Employment Edge: The Impact ofStudy Abroad on 21st Century Skills and Career Perspectives, indicated that with “study abroadthere was a positive impact on the development of a wide range of the 21st century skills,expands career possibilities, and has a long-term impact on career progression and promotion.”14Currently, at the author’s institution 9% of the total enrollment studies abroad.

management. Students in this program learn business andengineering skills in the classroom, then apply them in the field through class projects and acomplex capstone internship, which takes the place of a traditional thesis. Thus, the EngineeringManagement program requires strong industry partnerships for the education and graduation ofits students.The MSPS Advisory Board, which consists of local industry leaders and program alumni, acts togrow and maintain these critical industry partnerships. The Advisory Board’s role is 1) toprovide the class-projects and internships required for the students’ successful careers and 2) toensure that the curricula stays leading-edge and covers the needs of regional employers.

Session ETD 355 Engineer or Technologist? Which Fits Best? Raymond Floyd IEEE Life Senior MemberAbstractThere is an ongoing discussion of the benefits of an Engineering degree versus an EngineeringTechnology degree. Perhaps the first question that the student must answer is what are theirexpectations and desires for a career as an engineer? If their interests lean toward mathematicsand research, then the path could lead to a career as an engineer. If their interests lead towardhands-on and product development, then the path could lead to a technologist. Some

organizations are not the only organizations that may have some sort of Code ofEthics. Business entities may also have some form of a Code of Ethics, or some morecomprehensive Business Conduct Guidelines. From my career with IBM, I am aware of theirBusiness Conduct Guidelines. It is a comprehensive set of guidelines ranging on subject matterfrom personal conduct, business obligations, and other subjects that could impact IBM’s abilityto compete. It also addresses the consequences of violating the guidelines. For example; “IfIBM management finds that your conduct on or off the job adversely affects your performance,that of other employees, or IBM’s legitimate business interests, you will be subject todisciplinary measures, including dismissal.” [13

The AMT Program and the continued strength brought by the other career pathways fully answers this question with a resounding, “Yes!!”6According to FAME, both the AMT Program and the FAME organization had their origins atToyota’s North American Production Support Center (NAPSC) in Georgetown, Kentucky. TheAMT Program was an outgrowth of a continuing education program that Toyota had beendeveloping for over 20 years6.Prior to fall 2017, there were eight states (AL, IN, KY, MS, MO, TN, TX, and WV) withFAME-chapters offering advanced manufacturing pathways.

industrypractitioners expect students to gain a working knowledge about standards, the actual level towhich standards are integrated into the curriculum seems to be lacking [4]. In order to bridge thegap and assist both educators and industry professionals in educating students and newemployees about how standards are used in their professional careers, faculty from both themechanical engineering technology (MET) program and Purdue University Libraries partneredto integrate standards into curricula [8]. Additionally, they developed a series of introductory,openly available modules (funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),award # 70NANB16H261) and exercises, known as the “Standards are Everywhere” materials,to educate students how to

student learning outcomes. Many things contribute to this including the fact thatoften there is no attempt made to integrate learning outcomes of internships with those in theclassroom. Of course internships are often unscripted experiences in which learning is emergentand is unique to each learner in each situation (Grose, 2017). In addition, on many campuses,the management of internships is highly decentralized, there is no common vocabulary forarticulating now internships fit into student careers, and most assessment of internships is a longway from capturing their full potential as learning activities (Grose, 2017).To make the connection between academic learning and workplace learning, universities arecreating signature assignments and

This paper offers suggestions, from the perspective of what studentsreally need to know as they begin their professional careers, for technical instructors new to thefield of ethics, focusing on the following: resources, approaches, and case methodology.ContextWhile many colleges and universities offer ethics classes through specialized departments, thispaper advocates an “ethics across the curriculum” (EAC) approach. Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.
