inthe Spring of 2010. Both graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, private consultants, andpublic servants are provided with the opportunity to learn from each other during this weeklyone-hour seminar. The establishment and overview of the seminar series are discussed along with thedevelopment of guidelines for student attendance. Involvement of faculty, students, andprofessionals was evaluated. Attendance at each seminar is a function of topic(s), presenter(s),and time commitment conflict (schedule conflicts with other classes or faculty sabbatical).Based on data from the Spring 2010 and Fall 2010 semesters, faculty attended 41 percent of theseminars, and students attended 43 percent of the seminars.

universities did not actively cooperate with enterprises in internationalcooperation. After the initial setback, the Chinese government guided the universities to buildthe B&R at 2015, therefore the universities and enterprises collaboration has graduallyemerged, like through building alliances, to promote the prosperity of B&R.Universities provide training for enterprises to help enterprise’ managers learningmanagement knowledge and professional knowledgeEducation will be critical to the project’ s success. It is essential for the specialist training ofengineers engaged in the work.[8] We found that the eleven subject companies all haveemployee exchange and training programs.

) highlightsthe following data about sources of academic research funding: The federal government provided 59% ($32.6 billion) of the $54.9 billion of academic spending on S&E R&D in FY 2009. Industry's % of funding for academic R&D declined steeply after the 1990s, from above 7% in 1999 down to about 5% by 2004, but has seen a 5-year increase to about 6% in 2009.While this indicates that industry funded research is relatively low (6% overall in 2009), someUS universities within engineering, especially at large R1 schools, receive a considerably higherpercentage of their research funding from industry than the overall 6% reported by the NSBreport.

Software tools may be nice to have for SoftwareEngineering projects but are not as “must-have” as supplies and equipment for UTDesignprojects are. .The two senior design programs raises some interesting questions that will have to be dealt with.Among them is academic credit for major degree requirements through properly structuredinternships with some faculty involvement (other universities have already done so, e.g. [9]).References:1.

Due to intellectual property issues, the “faculty member(s)” forthe class are likely to be company engineers. However, these instructors will have to meet all therequirements of the College for any part-time faculty member teaching one or two classes.The following spring, summer, fall and spring semesters will follow a similar load scheme. Asan example, the spring semester of 2013 includes a physics course, two focus-area courses andan engineering project course. The team agreed that during the summers only one session, withone course covered in the six Wednesdays, would be scheduled to allow employees to haveopportunity for summer vacations
andmathematics. Students with inadequate grounding in mathematics and science, as seen in thegraph from the US Dept. of Education, are not well prepared for future academic and/or careeropportunities, resulting in some colleges and universities experiencing difficulties in theirrecruitment efforts for under-represented minority (URM) students. In addition, they may findan even greater burden to not just recruit but to retain underrepresented students in theirengineering program(s).

courses in the Division of CEM.INTRODUCTION Construction Engineering constitutes a wide range of disciplinary strategies.The Division of Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) at PurdueUniversity has been “preparing undergraduate engineers to serve the constructionindustry as professional engineers and managers” since the late 1970’s withtheoretical and experiential learning objectives. In recent years, it has come to theattention of CEM that a gap exists between these objectives. It is not clear if it is a 1societal gap or industry demand that has created it but industry representatives andstudents alike have voiced their concern. The long-term initiative by CEM is to alignthese objectives

After the students were with their second mentor, we broadcasted the next conversationprompt. We did a total of five rounds, so that by the end of the session, each student had spokento five mentors. We used the following conversation prompts for each round: 1) Which would you choose? And, why? ● Option A: one year with Oprah ● Option B: one year with Bill Gates ● Option C: $1,000,000 2) Exchange your career hopes. 3) Share about an academic or professional experience you are proud of. 4) In what positive way(s) have you grown and changed during the shelter-at-home experience?
