MDTtrack are required for employee/students in both tracks, and the degree requirements then divergeat the upper division courses depending on the employee’s career track.SIA reviewed plans of study for Purdue Polytechnic’s existing BS degrees in EngineeringTechnology, Industrial Engineering Technology, Manufacturing Engineering Technology,Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Organizational Leadership and drew the MDT courseplan out of those degree programs. Each of those traditional degree plans holds value for SIA,and the company hires graduates from those programs, but for the company’s in-house employeedevelopment and career planning program, SIA prefers a more customized plan with elements ofthe degrees cited above. Thus, SIA worked with

In the current competitive environment,for both students and companies, new approaches need to be designed that support development ofcompetencies and skills needed by new graduates to be productive from start of their career.1.2 Industry and academia partnership to develop competenciesCorporations and employers have frequently pointed to a lack of professional awareness and low levels ofcommunication and teamwork skills in engineering graduates [11-14] These issues have led the U.S.Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) [15] to transform their accreditationcriteria from a content-based approach to an outcomes

The students select their mentors from apool of industry professionals that we curated from the SMSE industry advisory board, theircolleagues, and select SMSE alumni. In this paper, we share our flash mentorship

Only 69.7% of high school graduatesattend college [8], and more than half of college students who declare in a STEM field will changemajors or drop out of school entirely, meaning 11% of HS graduates become qualified STEMprofessionals, and the deficit would not be met if 100% of STEM students graduated.

capstone programs may enhance student learning and engagement. For students, industry partnerships in capstone are seen as providing an intersection ofstudents’ academic learning and their future careers in industry. Our institution supportssponsored projects that can prepare students to approach open-ended problems, improve designand communication skills, incorporate stakeholder needs, and work effectively on teams. Theconnections they build with industry partners can also be the beginning of a professionalnetwork. Furthermore, experience working on a real-life project can help students identify orclarify their career path within engineering. For engineering programs, these industry partners can serve as a resource to benefit

This is most evident in training programs for new hires, where they aregiven facts and nominal operational statistics regarding the utility. Tacit knowledge is gainedthrough personal experience and is not readily articulated or codified as it more closelyresembles intuition [7].
