. students involved are exposed mostly to the practice ofprofessionals in industry and other universities, not with those in government.Collaborator InteractionsThe interaction among the collaborators also plays a role in the engineering Ph.D. studentresearch experiences. For example, the collaborators’ interaction frequency affects the type ofrelationship that faculty and students develop with collaborators, and tends to be in one of thethree categories: infrequent, intermittent or recurrent [42]. Research with industry partners,including ERCs, tends to have more frequent and deeper relationships [6, 43]. Theserelationships are often attributed to the fact that many of the industrial firms want to hire studentsafter graduation [44]. Typically

I have com- pleted coursework in topics such as project management, engineering analysis, and human factors in manufacturing. My past professional experiences have included a cooperative education at an automo- tive manufacturing facility and an internship at a sustainable technology start-up in South Africa. During my time at the University of Dayton, I’ve participated in collaborative online learning classes with inter- national universities and had the privilege of working with Professor Appiah-Kubi on his research into online collaborative learning techniques

Cooperative and Experiential Education

. IntroductionThis evidence-based paper assesses strategies for Research Experience for Undergraduates(REU) social program success. REU programs typically bring together students from across thecountry – or even around the world – to a university campus for the summer. While at thisuniversity, the students learn how to conduct real research in their discipline by actually doing it,under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Giving students exposure to conducting bona fideresearch allows them to determine whether they may be interested in pursuing a research career(and, to support this, continuing on to graduate-level education).Many students who participate in REU programs remember these programs long after theprogram is complete. The initial experience

Models provide information about what sequence of actions will lead to successand which actions have undesirable consequences. Models can raise efficacy among observerswho are apt to believe that they, too, will be successful if they follow the same behavioralsequence" [19]. Schunk found that modeling strategies for understanding a text led to improvedreading and writing [20].

Despite the value and increasing necessity of STEM skills within today’ssociety and the 21st century workforce, substantial numbers of Americans still do not have equalaccess to postsecondary STEM education and, thus, have limited opportunities for STEM-relatedemployment and careers [4].Along with unequal access to STEM degree programs, researchers report stark differencesbetween traditional and nontraditional undergraduate enrollment and degree attainment in STEM,wherein nontraditional students consistently fare worse.

The most popular was six months in industry followed by six months in collegein each of four successive years [4].A requirement of the NCTA was that all students for their diplomas should have participatedin programs of liberal study. This was reinforced in 1957 by a government edict that extendedthe idea of compulsory liberal studies to all levels of technical education even though muchof it was part time study [5]. By 1962 it was seen that the development of literacy, that is theability to read and write, was essential for the general education of all students. Thus, it wasthat in those colleges the term Liberal Studies came to be substituted by General

For some AE faculty,such an organization project would not be worth the effort anyway: “[If] we think the data's not really going to be used, and we're the only ones who's going to use it, that's a lot of effort to go to make all that information and organize it and then it's a waste of time if no one does it.
