government organizations to provide value for them whilelearning about innovation and entrepreneurship. This paper presents the framework of theprogram and analyzes the feedback from the major stakeholders. The program started with agenerous donation from an alumnus to support programs that help to break the silos in academia.Consequently, the SSP, piloted in the fall of 2021 with business and engineering students, nowincludes students from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Dayton. Thestudents have their regular course loads and, in addition, put in 10 hours of work each week byworking on projects for the entrepreneurs. The students are paid from the program’s fund.During the 2021/22 academic year, the students’ work helped to
professionalmasters’ workplace readiness in China, each of which exemplifies a major approach in organizingthe practical studies for professional master’s students in engineering: The first case examines a“practice base,” a broker institution that connects students to companies that are committed to theeducational objectives determined by the participating universities. In the second case, theuniversity provides a list of options for practical studies, each linked to a partner company, forstudents to choose. This paper adopts the double case study method, focuses on how universities and partneringinstitutions negotiate common interests and ensure the sustainability of the partnerships throughpractices of matching students to projects, articulating

It takes ahands-on approach, allowing students to work on projects that have an

Usingaccessible technologies such as: non-contact infrared thermometers with memory function, pulseoximeters with Bluetooth that painlessly clip on to your finger, electronic digital calipers, andhousehold tools including tape measures, students will learn to collect and analyze their personaland familial health-data. Using laptops and tablets with MS Excel software, students will uploadtheir data and explore it with simulation and

He also suggested that the participantsfound the most significant useful construction skills that applied to the students’ career includedsafety, project management and construction graphics as career skills necessary to enter theconstruction industry by the respondents.Internship ProgramsIn academia, there are many different approaches to providing an internship experience for thestudents. There are some construction management programs that have a formalized internshipprogram where students are required to intern at a company for a specified number of hours.Other universities may offer an un-structured internship program where the students intern with acompany as an elective class.

the academic year, allows sophomores to seniors the ability to participate in one offour different tracks: Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Industry, Research, or EngineeringProjects in Community Service (EPICS). Students spend one day a week in meetings learninggeneral topics: user-centered engineering design, engineering ethics, project management,teamwork, technical presentations, etc. Depending on the track students select, they wouldparticipate in additional technical skill sessions to assist with their specific projects. The sessionsare designed to provide instruction in various technical topics directly related to their project orinterest. Student groups meet outside of the normal meetings to work on their projects as a teamand/or with

It is clear thatemployers recognize those benefits: a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges andEmployers shows a projected 22.6% increase in interns hired in 2022, by far the highest increasein at least a decade [8].Our work focuses on experiential learning in cybersecurity, a field that is experiencing rapidexpansion in the labor market and shortages of qualified professionals. Between 2013 and 2021,the number of open cybersecurity positions worldwide increased from 1 million to 3.5 million[9]. This demand for professionals is not being met: in the U.S. it is estimated that there are onlyenough qualified applicants to fill 68% of the

having participants engage in a number ofexperiences, building their network and connecting to a variety of possible employers and careerpathways.3.3 Micro internshipsAmong the most intensive of WIL experiences offered were the micro-internships which pairedparticipants with industry employers to gain additional insight into and experience with theworkforce. The structure and organization of micro-internships varied across organizations andparticipants. For most, the micro-internship operated mainly as an intensive job shadowing andmentorship experience with participants virtually embedded in the mentor’s activities; for a fewparticipants, the micro-internship also involved working on small projects and presenting anddiscussing results with
categoryscores made fromthe participants’responses.Results and Future WorkThe author has used this activity in a few different quarters, but not yet formally studied if ithelped learners implement better weighted decision matrices in their later projects or if it workedbetter than other activities. Anecdotally, and through informally reviewing related assignments,while it led to good classroom discussions, there are areas for improvement.For example, having results from a form processed and presented just seconds after they aresubmitted may be impressive or grab attention, but it may also be a distraction from the actualcontent or learning objectives. During one session using this form, the first question was abouthow the slides had been made rather
