Page 22.21.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 A College-Industry Research Partnership on Software Development for Undergraduate StudentsAbstractCollaboration means working together for a special purpose. When industry and academiacollaborate, their purposes may be very different, e.g., academia focuses on education andtheoretical research, and industry in general focuses on products and process efficiency.Therefore, it is not easy for faculty members in engineering programs to find collaborationprojects that represent a win-win situation for both industry and academia. Such projects canrepresent a major contribution to the education of our engineering students.In this paper, we

Service-learning can help fill thisgap by leveraging the time and energy of students and their professors, teachers and mentors. Participants in early engineering-related service-learning experiences do not have to belimited just engineers nor those who think of themselves as future engineers. In the universityprograms, multidisciplinary teams are required and the same goes for high schools. For examplethe EPICS program at Purdue University draws from 60 majors, across engineering and outside.These kinds of projects need students who think of the people first and can react and evaluate asa user who is not as familiar with technology.
