that the entire four plus month cooperative experience can be viewed as onelong training session. Experience-based learning happens through the execution of workpackages. The training program, therefore, provides the students with enough skills to start work.In the early stages of each co-op cycle, there is substantial Q&A between students and technicalleads to foster additional skill development. Students adopt engineering professional values. Students demonstrate that they areadopting engineering professional values that lead to a successful start in an engineering focusedindustry career through their increased participation in the AIDP both onsite at the AcademicDesign Center and offsite at their university.At the university level
and to conduct additional research on student learning benefits thatresult from participation. Continued research also aims to increase the number of surveyparticipants in order to achieve a greater degree of statistical power in the results.References[1] Glenda D. Young, David B.

Using customer complaint data prior to the inspection system, the student assumed ap-value of 0.005 and a q-value of 0.995; 0.5% of product is defective (sampling success) 95.5%of product is good (sampling failure). A margin of error of 0.15% and a confidence level of 95%were then assumed to fit the expected success rate.

were unfamiliar to studentssuch as graphics packages would require careful planning and estimation of these tasks prior tobeginning a project. Additionally, early planning and careful estimation of high-risk tasksrequiring unfamiliar technologies may lead to a reduction in the scope of work for a project sothat it can be fully completed and debugged prior to delivery. Finally, many of the apps couldbenefit from more emphasis on UX and UI design to provide a better user experience.ReferencesBrown, Q., Lee, F., & Alejandre, S. (2009, April).
