upon graduation reflect this emphasis.Respondents expected most or all graduates to be able to: identify and assess safety risks (88%);communicate the importance of safety to a broader audience (80%); identify and implementregulatory safety requirements (71%); develop a safety plan (66%); implement a safety plan(63%); and assess the effectiveness of safety measures (59%). These skillsets map back tocompetencies outlined in the ARTBA certification exam blueprint and reveal that some topicsgain more emphasis at the degree level than others.The authors utilize survey results to develop recommendations on how professional certificationsin general can be used by education providers as “industry benchmarks” to drive curriculumdevelopment.

graduates, co-op activities, and potential development ofcollaborative research programs. Unfortunately, adjuncts are marginalized by the academicsystems in place today; and their contributions to the academic process are undervalued. Next,the paper reports on the success story of an adjunct, a practitioner with good credentials, who“teamed-up” with a “full-time” faculty, in an attempt to bring the practice to 4 thyear students in ageotechnical/ foundation engineering class. The success achieved in meeting course objectives,as a result of practitioner’s role, was attributed, in large measure, to proper planning andcoordination that preceded course delivery. Plus, the willingness, experience and abilities of theadjunct in addressing the practice in

beguided by the contacts the academic professors have made over their careers with the localindustrial representatives. There is also a need to ensure that any internship that has creditsawarded be evaluated by the faculty to ensure the credit and course content is appropriate.Mentors – An easy way to shape a student‟s future is through the use of a Mentor [4, 5, 9]. Froman academic perspective this role is fulfilled by the Staff advisor that reviews the student‟sprogram on a regular basis, typically each semester. During this time, the advisor reviews thestudent‟s progress, planned programs, and any prerequisites that may be needed. The biggestproblem with the academic advisor is that they are most often providing advice to a large numberof

Craftsman Program through Collaboration between Industry, Technical Community College and 4-year UniversityAbstractEngineering Technology curriculum generally provides wide spread knowledge in problemsolving, management of resources, and process planning. An Industry Advisory Council for auniversity in Louisiana expressed the need for multi-skilled craftsman trained graduates, andworked with Engineering Technology faculty to develop an associate of science degree program,in collaboration with a local technical community college, that is focused on advancedmanufacturing.This paper discusses the development of an industry-driven program on advancedmanufacturing. The program is implemented as a collaborative offering by a university inLouisiana and

They installed the detection system, made slight assembly modifications and tested thesystem. With a successful installation the team then performed a 10,000 bag production test(nearly four hours) and confirmed that the percentage of soup mix bags without flavor packetsdetected and removed by the machine was similar to that percentage of customer complaints theprevious year. The detection system (Line #2) was released to production, and plans made toinstall another detection system on a second identical production line (Line #1).Statistical Verification of the Inspection SystemAfter eight months of

, yet in this paper, we focused on specific tasks to allowus to create the foundation for implementing the overall study.Overall study: 1. To determine if a correlation exists between track choice and career choice, 2. To determine if a correlation exists between track choice and obtaining an internship/co- op, 3. To determine if a correlation exists between undergraduate research experience and entry-level BME/BIOE industry jobs, and 4. To determine industry perceptions of bioengineering student competencies.Objectives of this works-in-progress study: 1. Review the literature on BME/BIOE curriculums 2. Review departmental data as a pilot of the planned study 3. Develop instruments to acquire data needed for our study

Program (ISP) is a year-long program designed by [[University]] industrypartners and first launched in Spring 2017. In the first year of the ISP program, first and secondyear undergraduate students were introduced to professional skills through experientialworkshops, industry site visits, and internships planned and coordinated by industry partners.The first cohort of 27 Industry Scholars were exposed to skills such as teamwork, emotionalintelligence, and communication in a series of experiential learning workshops, which preceded asummer industry internship where those skills were built upon. Following these internships,students engaged in one final semester of professional skill development through additionalworkshops, industry site visits, and

hires resulted in the bulk of strategic planning for the year-long capstoneexperience taking place in Spring 2015. Preparations began in earnest with the on-boarding oftwo new faculty hires in August 2015.Early defining decisions for the capstone experience included: • Projects are, whenever possible, industry sponsored • Program director is responsible for sourcing capstone projects • Two engineering faculty members co-direct the capstone program • Each project is required to have a dedicated industry liaison willing and able to have weekly interaction with student project teamThe first engineering capstone cohort consisted of 16 students; 4 of these students were physicsmajors fulfilling degree requirements by completing

also contribute to the success of our program in other ways; for example:  By facilitating internships and co-ops via participation in career fairs;  By way of monetary gifts;Cal Poly annually hosts two career fairs attended by over 150 companies and organizations.Some participating alumni use the opportunity to showcase the technology they work on bydelivering technical seminars. While student internships do not translate into programimprovement, they have a positive impact on student academic performance and immediateemployability. Also, internships help with the 'crystallization' of career plans and professionalidentity of students [4].In our college the procurement of lab equipment, conference attendance, and professionalmemberships

2014 when the local Trane office in Nashville, Tennessee began meeting with the Dean of theCollege of Engineering, Dr. Justin Myrick, about summer internship opportunities for engineering students.Prior to this relationship Trane had worked with Lipscomb University on multiple campus projects, so theopportunity to grow our professional relationship through a partnership whereby the University can offerunique engineering experiences for their students and Trane can recruit talented young engineers into theirorganization was a natural next step. Since this partnership began, Trane has employed the services of bothinterns and full time graduate engineers. In 2015, as the university developed plans to build a facilitydedicated to the engineering

ofagency, they are acting on their self-reflections, goals, and motivations to impact their future.Program design to embed early-staged internships into the degree plan enables students to buildupon their preliminary studies with real-world experience that they then bring back to theiracademic environment and enhances their goal pursuit and academic experience.At Texas State University, students majoring in engineering technology must complete a 400-hour, sophomore-level summer internship as a degree requirement.

Material propertydata, experimental results and information on the characteristics of various devices are alsoincorporated in the overall model to obtain realistic results from the simulation. The results fromthe simulation are used to determine if the design satisfies the requirements and constraints of thegiven problem.The mechanical engineering capstone senior design program emphasizes several important skillsthat are necessary to be a successful engineer. Some of these skills include project planning andscheduling, creativity and concept generation and evaluation, decision making, analysis tools,prototyping and testing, standards and regulations, engineering ethics
