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
. Entering the 2015-2016 academic year,program faculty envisioned a capstone design experience that would engage student teams in ayear-long, professional level design project sponsored by an industry client. The first two yearsof the capstone design program have been inarguably successful, and in this paper we identifyand reflect on the keys to our success. The intention for writing this paper is to ensure thesuccess of the program is repeatable, and to assist other programs, especially those residing insmall liberal arts universities, in starting or revising their own senior design experience.Our key factors in assembling a successful industry-sponsored capstone design program havebeen: (1) faculty buy-in and involvement, (2) engaged industry

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020The Status of University-Industry Collaboration Participating in thePeople-to-People and Cultural Exchanges in Engineering TechnologyAmong the Belt and Road Initiative ParticipantsABSTRACTPeople-to-people and cultural exchanges in engineering technology (PCEE) allow theexchange of thoughts and values. It is very suitable for the Belt and Road Initiative (B&R)Participants to accelerate mutual understanding between people from China and B&Rcountries to reduce or eliminate thought gaps between the countries and ensure the smoothimplementation of the engineering projects. Enterprises are the most important entities forpromoting the construction of B&R

The students’ reflection on collective learningwrapped up the course, and helped to prepare them for competence and relevance in their ownautomotive engineering careers.Course Project PreparationIn order to accomplish the previously described course objectives, two of the faculty membersworked in collaboration with a professional engineer and two additional participants from theOEM research lab. A test setup mimicking the OEM laboratory was constructed (Figure 2), andall components were checked for safety as a practice run was performed in attendance of theprofessional engineer.

It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultymembers, and joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia &the industrial partners) are also addressed. The

To enhance students’ employability skills, career identity and practice readiness; Green, Carbone, and Rayner (2019) argued for more flexible and accessible alternatives to the traditional curriculum [14]. Carbone et al. (2020) identified a range of programs and practices, in addition to placements and internships, including practicums, projects, field trips, and site visits within the plethora of activities that can be used to develop practice ready graduates by expanding students’ perceptions of their career and professional identity [13]. Another example of flexible and accessible alternatives is student organizations. Kurniawaran et al. (2020) argued the positive and significant impact of students
