important to not only look at what is going on in the classroom but to investigate theadded influence of any contact the students have with industrial employers. Another area ofimportance that links the classroom, internships, co-ops, experiential learning experiences, andindustry is the growing contact that comes with project based courses that deal directly withindustry to accomplish their ends. Many schools are promoting the work that can be done bystudents integrating their work in the classroom with industrial influence. There are also thenumbers of students who participate in extracurricular activities that produce many contact hourswith engineering alumni through those projects. While the major focus for accreditation is theclassroom, there

GVSUhas a strong history of experiential learning with 45-48% of juniors and seniors typically enrolledin credit bearing experiential learning in any given year. Since introducing the blueprint forsuccess that clearly identifies experiential learning as a significant educational landmark,participation jumped to 52-56% with impressive corresponding jumps in graduation rates.In addition to their involvement in experiential learning programs, for the last four years theauthors have also been the team leaders in an NSF funded S-STEM project.

Engineering Bachelor’sdegree program. The main challenge involved was to guarantee the quality ofeducation as well as knowledge sustainability, despite a reduction in availableeducation time. In particular, the implementation of the co-op kernel - thedevelopment of a new Project Based Learning program - led to completely newdesign approach due to the impact of the new regulations in light of the BolognaAccord. Industrial, political and academic expectations were in many cases verycontradictory and the price of their harmonization was a hard compromise.In this work, we describe the necessity of specific subjects which are taught in adefined order, which correlates to the demands placed on future automotiveengineers by industry.Our paper presents the

That is a question that all forward-thinkingstudents and educators should be asking themselves. An engineering education has to beoutcome-oriented; that is, both students and institutions should have strategies to optimize theprobability of students having a good job and career launch at commencement whether thebachelors, masters, or doctoral level.Professional Development needed to supplement

The Senior Design Project Class, which isa two-semester long course, with a total of four credit hours, can be viewed as a servicelearning class, depending upon the project chosen by the select student group. It doescontain a substantial amount of education about ethics, ergonomics, economics, sociologyand liberal education principles, in addition to rigorous engineering subject matter. Thestudent groups are encouraged to appreciate the realities of socio-economic impact oftheir chosen project. In many cases, the project will have to be addressed with a strongwill to succeed and necessarily require coalitions of volunteerism, industry sponsoredfunding and donated resources.

TheState of Michigan (2008) has documentation that states that the safety and health ruleswill uniformly enforce disciplinary action among partnering employers on their projects.It further states that employees who fail to work in a safe manner will be automaticallydismissed from a project due to the deliberate violation of safety rules or safety policiesand procedures. Therefore, it is important that an organization develops a technique tohelp employees to adhere to their safety rules or policy17. a.

Through a NASA-sponsored program called Project Reserve, a two year initiative, theauthors Fleming, Garcia, and Morning (1995) studied 31 correlates, such as social class, aptitude,and critical thinking skills. They used three instruments, with a sample of African American andLatino students majoring in engineering at Xavier University in Louisiana, California StateUniversity, Northridge (CSUN), and City College of New York (CCNY). These students(N=79) came from predominantly White engineering schools where they failed in their first yearand were invited to participate in Project Reserve.
