Education Opportunities 2. Students participate in 5 terms of cooperative education, as compared to 6 for traditional students. ACCEND students thus have one additional term of coursework. 3. ACCEND students take a course through distance learning while on cooperative work assignmentsThe ACCEND programs are a significant factor in the College’s efforts to meet the goals of theUniversity’s Academic Master Plan. In particular, these programs encourage academicexcellence, create additional academic opportunity for students, and provide a mechanism toincrease enrollment, particularly enrollment of domestic students in graduate programs.With the encouragement of the College’s Industrial Advisory Board and building on the successof combined

Existing models of university-company collaboration so as to introduce an atypical university-company collaboration in which the partnering company is a start-up which owns a potentially potent m-outreach technology. 2. Definitions of m-learning in order to better understand the unique educational potential for engineers of the m-outreach tool upon which this university-company collaboration rests. 3. Details of the technology behind the

EBB task force, and theengineering student leadership group were consulted, and there was general consensus that thiswas a positive direction in which to move. The partners then began to engage in the planningprocess, fine-tuning the guiding principles and developing near and long-term plans for thisnew support-model. It was at this point that two challenges were encountered: 1) lack of clarityabout leadership and accountability; and 2) key personnel changes at the Engineering LearningCenter and Engineering Media Services. The latter caused a slight shift in course and resultedin the decision in February of 2010 to consolidate the Engineering Learning Center, EngineeringMedia Services and the Library into what is now Wendt Commons under the
