Java. In 2017, the technology used in the course was switched to Xamarin / C# usingthe Microsoft Visual Studio IDE. This mobile app development course enabled senior Capstoneprojects to include the development of mobile apps. Mobile app development projects began tobe requested by participating organizations and other university research projects starting in2016. The projects described in this paper span from 2016 through 2018 and show the widerange of applications where mobile app solutions were requested requiring both Android and iOSdevelopment. The description of the following projects include the technologies used, a briefdesign description, the approach the student teams used to solve the problem, the process forinteracting with the

. And while the conventional focus on rhetoricalpositioning in technical writing courses can result in more careful student writers, this paper callsfor a return to producing effective authentic documents—those written work products thatdemonstrate awareness of known and unknown readers, document project management, and arewritten to make reading easy. Moreover, these authentic documents should be situational, andproduced in response to real project demands, as opposed to written products that exclusivelyattempt to imagine appropriate responses to hypothetical situations.Realizing this need, this paper identifies key pathways for developing and strengthening tiesbetween academic institutions and industry stakeholders that have been successful

Students’ Interest in Their CoursesIn addition to the potential benefits in terms of student engagement, there is also a correspondingbenefit for the department’s industry partners. The department’s current industry engagementefforts focus on design project sponsorship, large-scale events, and opportunities for one-on-onementorship. Those efforts provide a broad range of opportunities for industry to engage with thedepartment, while also providing some insight into the kinds of opportunities that could bevaluable and that are not included in the current model. The push to increase the use ofindustry-based examples across the curriculum is unique in that it focuses specifically on classesthat haven’t traditionally been highly industry-based, and in

In Florida Jobs 2030, the Florida ChamberFoundation [12] reported that the greatest projected long-term skills gaps in manufacturing werein sales representatives and maintenance and repair workers. Employability skills such ascommunication, critical thinking, and problem solving were underscored as important, inaddition to developing productivity skills (e.g., word processing), occupation-specific skills (e.g.,AutoCAD), and advanced digital skills (networking and design).
