Heads in the Game was an innovative, first ofits kind program for Athletics and STEM education. Sixteen scholars, including 6 girls and 9 fromhigh schools representing impoverished areas, learned coding, biomedical engineering, and healthand sports performance skills. The objective of the program was to leverage the growing awarenessof concussions in athletics with the passion for sports in Mississippi to motivate and inspire youthin STEM fields, and create a culture of awareness of STEM opportunities in the scholar’scommunity

, they were quite cognizantthat things had changed since they took up teaching, and current professional engineers couldprovide insight into the modern approaches used in practice. Industry advisory boards, employersurveys, and consulting subject matter experts are a few examples of this type of informationsharing.In this same vein, during my days in industry, I have found that many practicing engineers lookto academia as early adopters of the latest and greatest methodologies and technologies. Manyengineers view the academics with a sense that they are the ones doing truly advanced researchthat is out of the grasp of the more practically minded industry engineers. For many, the primaryexposure to professors, or PhD’s in general was during their
board member participation in courses and laboratories,capstone courses, accreditation, student organizations, student competitive teams, and facultydevelopment. Through this examination of the program’s efforts, other engineering educatorswill be able to build upon their successes and avoid some of their difficulties while involvingtheir industry advisory board members in other ways.IntroductionEngineering programs from all disciplines rely on their industry advisory board (IAB) membersto help ground curricula in the current and future needs of the profession. This “real world”advice can be invaluable to balancing theory versus application in the classroom, help programsstay abreast of technological and other trending factors in the workplace

to seeor the technology that was involved. The tour hosts with engineering backgrounds appeared tohave a greater rapport with the students than those with no formal technical training. Usually thetour hosts were also quizzed about what they expected from new hires and/or what importanttraits or skills it took for employees to succeed in their business.Student Evaluations of Facilities Visited:While we limited the class size to twenty students, seventeen students were enrolled in the initialclass during the spring of 2011. At the end of the semester the students were asked to evaluateeach of the site visits from 0-5 based upon the importance of the visit (with 5 most important). Asummary of the student evaluations is presented in Figure 1
Leaves with Industry: Three ExperiencesIntroductionOne approach to developing and strengthening relationships between universities and industry isto have tenured faculty members engage in one-to-two semester sabbatical leaves at an industrysite. Personal relationships between the faculty member and managers/engineers at the host siteare developed; graduate students can become involved in a way that leads to a masters ordoctoral degree research topic; follow-on contracts and publishable results often benefit thefaculty visitor; new methods/technology introduced by the faculty visitor, and introductions toother faculty members with specific expertise, can benefit the industrial host.In contrast, most sabbatical leaves involve leaves of absence for
special facilities or tooling. 3. The student gets to work on a real-world problem, gain reputation, and in our experience ends up with a job offer before graduation. As one manager stated after the final briefing, “Why wouldn’t we hire this person? They’ve been with us for two years, they at least know where the water fountain and toilets are, and they are already better with new technology than some of our engineers!” Cons: 1. Classroom and other presentations in a school setting can be severely restricted. Project advisors must guard against inadvertent disclosure during discussions and briefings, and access to senior design reports (which ABET teams may want to inspect) must be controlled. 2. The

supported by the National ScienceFoundation under Grant No. (NSF 1700581).1.0. IntroductionAdvanced manufacturing (AM) employers are challenged to find enough adequately trainedworkers. One reason may be that the K-12 educational system has failed to engage or exposestudents to technical application or workplace skills either early or extensively enough, orarticulate high school students to 2- or 4-year manufacturing programs [1, 2]. Another reason isthat institutions of higher education (IHEs) often produce too few graduates to fulfill AMindustry demands, and many engineering technology graduates are not gaining the right skill setsfor available positions [3]. Quite possibly, this misalignment may include skills that can be hardto manage and

Picture Thinkers (BPT). In the corporate environment, there issignificant concern over the loss of BPT due to the retirement of Baby Boomer generationengineers. In the academic environment, the development of BPT aligns with efforts to prepareengineers who can work and innovate across disciplines although it may run counter to efforts todevelop engineers with specialized expertise. There is little empirical research on the skills,behaviors, and values of BPT in technology-based industries. Research is needed to develop alanguage of BPT that can guide professional development in the workforce and in academia, aswell as to understand the ways BPT are critical to driving a breakthrough mindset.
