were finishing uptheir projects. Computing projects tended to be easier to work in a remote environment, butother projects requiring hardware proved challenging to complete. Most importantly, the reviewand critique of projects was significantly more difficult.Overview of the Milwaukee School of Engineering Relationships with IACSThe Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) has prided itself on maintaining closerelationships with its Industrial Advisory Committees. As with many schools, the advisoryboards consist of program alumni, employers of graduates, local business leaders, faculty, andselected student representatives. Historically, attendance and engagement has been very strong,with most members reliably attending the meetings. While the

womenprofessionals (script, growth stage). Her mom was a teacher but left her career to stay at homewith her when she was born (script, growth stage). Her mom had a friend who was a lawyer andran for office. She recalls her mom sometimes questioning her friend’s decisions, but other timesshe was very proud of her. Even though her mom left teaching to stay home, Louise thought shewould continue working once she had children (script, exploration stage). However, she didn’thave any role models or examples to guide her in how this could work. When graduating fromcollege, a pregnant woman interviewed her for a job. She vividly remembers thinking it wasgood that this woman could balance working and being a mom (script, exploration stage). Onceshe started working

towards thehighest level of quality within research projects. This paper presents the approach of how auniversity team (professor and graduate students) collaborated with the National Society of BlackEngineers (NSBE) to conduct a longitudinal analysis of a summer engineering program fundedthrough an Early CAREER faculty award from the National Science Foundation’s EngineeringEducation Broadening Participation (BPE) program. According to the literature, there is a greatneed for longitudinal analysis of STEM outreach programs, especially informal ones, and supportstudents from historically excluded backgrounds. This paper contributes to the academia-non-profit partnership literature within the context of longitudinal studies by mapping out the

student teams, such as FSAE, are there to helpstudents gain skills that will help them seek employment upon graduation. Ensuring that oursoftware support program not only aids in preparing students for competition, but as well as fortheir future careers, is an important consideration.LimitationsAs industry, we do not have a formal Institution Review Board (IRB) like universities do. Thishas led to limitations in the type of research we can conduct. While the information gatheredduring this discussion is invaluable to Ansys in terms of how we can continue to grow ourprogram, we acknowledge there are areas of improvement for our data gathering methods.Specifically, there is a need for more formal research questions and rigorous qualitative

, especially in a quantitative way, is near impossible without astrong collaboration with key faculty at the institution. In future, we hope to develop these typesof collaborations in order to have this type of result to share with the wider community. For now,we rely on our own experience and qualitative student and faculty feedback to guide ourinitiatives.ConclusionIt’s clear from both the literature and our own experience in industry at Ansys that the industry-academia gap is an ongoing issue for new graduates. Extracurricular activities, such asinvolvement in student team competitions, have been highlighted as a way to reduce this gap andhelp students gain the skills they need to start their careers. At Ansys, we look to supportacademia in a wide

undergraduate students perceive industrial partnershipsin engineering capstone courses?MethodologyContext of studyThe study was conducted on students enrolled in a third-year capstone engineering coursefocusing on industrial design at a university. At the start of the course, the students wererandomly grouped into teams of 6 – 7 and tasked to solve a problem provided by a company. Theproblem statements were randomly assigned. Each team was guided by an industry mentor and afaculty member for the duration of 13 weeks as they tackled the problem statement. The teamsmet both faculty and industry mentors weekly to gather feedback on their projects. At the end ofthe course, the teams were assessed by both supervisors.Participants and Data CollectionWe used

conducted with pro-gram alumni and a member of CIRCUIT leadership; and the second-round interview is with twoadditional stakeholders (e.g., alumni, mentors). We standardize our questions but retain the abilityto explore topics and details relevant to individual applicants. Each interview lasts approximately30 minutes. At the end of the process, each interviewer fills out a rubric recording their detailedand overall impressions, in an effort to minimize bias and normalize acceptance criteria. Finaladmission decisions are made by program leadership, ensuring consistency. The values of the stu-dents chosen to participate match the core mission of the CIRCUIT program. Students are notmere beneficiaries of the program but rather are partners with

The participants participated in the SD process of 10 rulesover 3 hours, to generate Pathfinder projects that have a high impact and are easy to accomplishin a short time frame. Nineteen industry partners, five faculty members, and 4 staff frominstitutional advancement participated in the workshop to explore the Framing Question“Imagine that University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s MEIE graduates

project team might spend less than 10 weeks of actual engineering activities. b) Limited support of the university faculty – relied too much on the industry sponsor mentor. It is not common to see the objective and the deliverables are altered throughout the semester. Students are not capable to negotiate with the project sponsor or stakeholder. c) The Size of the project team, a large project teams (5-8 students) tend to have underperforming team members that result in an overall negative team culture [19,20,21]. Unfortunately, for some of the top public engineering schools, it may be a real challenge to identify 50+ industry sponsored Capstone Project to accommodate 300-400 graduating seniors. d) Team
