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

recruitment, mentoring, work/life balance, and balance of research/teaching andservice loads. Strategies for addressing these issues were discussed and an action plan wasdeveloped by the departmental ADVANCE team under the leadership of the ADVANCEProfessor. Examples of planned activities include:• leveraging both university and college resources to develop a “best practices” document for avoiding subtle bias, especially for faculty search committees• surveying other departments and colleges for existing resources on effective mentoring, including examining the possibility of mentoring associate professors. (Currently the department’s mentoring system is informal, undocumented and limited to assistant professors).• scheduling a faculty

In her work, she characterizes front-end design practices across the student to practitioner continuum, develops empirically-based tools to support design best practices, and studies the impact of front- end design tools on design success. Specifically, she focuses on divergent and convergent thinking processes in design innovations, including investigations of concept generation and development, exploring problem spaces to identify real needs and innovation opportunities, and approaches to integrate social and cultural elements of design contexts into design decisions.Colleen M.

They have certainly had to learn how to managetheir time because the engineering degree programs at ONU all exceed 200 quarter-credit hours.

There are now morestrategic efforts in engineering to address society problems, liberal arts literacy, the “big ideas”,innovation and entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary studies related to engineering (calledSTEAM by including the ARTS).

integrates these program students into a single cohort.IntroductionThe honors program at The Citadel provides an exceptional learning experience foroutstanding students. It has been admitting 20-24 students each year and has an 85 percentretention rate for all four years. The honors program attributes its success to a number ofspecific high impact practices including; 1. Assigning a honors faculty advisor; 2. A honorsstudent association responsible for social and academic activities; 3. Maintaining cohesion byplacing each cohort into nine honors courses in the first three years; 4. Providing honorseminar classes; and 5. Requiring two honors directed research projects. Together thesepractices provide students help in their acclimation and later

We recognized that interested individuals mayhave many more resources where they can receive knowledge that traditionally has beenobtained from colleges. To improve college experience of our students, CET takes acollaborative approach among faculty and staff. For example, in spring 2021, a faculty advisoryboard for the SSC were appointed to conduct literature review and identify best practices in fourservice areas: (a) Marketing and Recruiting, (b) First year-programs [2, 3], (c

Thus, the need to prepare CECM college students for a smooth transition from theacademic program to the workplace becomes necessary.Civic engagement and service learning have increasingly become an integral part of learning andteaching strategies across many universities and colleges nationwide. As such, CECM facultyrecognizes the benefit in combining civic engagement and service learning activities with theCECM curriculum. Introduced at beginning engineering courses
Project- Based LearningAbstractOur research examines information literacy education and resource use in significant andsuccessful projects connecting technology with human need completed over a twelve year periodbetween 2003 and 2014 by STEM undergraduates at a technical institute. We explain theevolution of collaborations between librarians, faculty project advisors, and research methodsinstructors during the preparation and completion of complex multidisciplinary projectscompleted mainly off-campus at project centers in the United States and around the globe. Theprojects we examine are completed as a mandatory graduation requirement for mainly third yearundergraduates, 71% of whom will graduate with engineering
engineering-technology programs be able to demonstrate that theirgraduates have, among other capabilities, an ability to function on multi-disciplinary terms, anunderstanding of professional and ethical responsibility, an ability to communicate effectively,the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal/societal context, and a knowledge of contemporary issues.It is in meeting these challenges that service-learning distinguishes itself from other forms ofexperimental learning in engineering. Service-learning offers engineering-technology studentsan opportunity to practice engineering design and apply technology by engaging students in“activities that address human and community needs” and in so doing, afford
