educationThe purpose of the paper is to identify strategies to encourage and facilitate stronger industryengagement among engineering faculty. A continuous engagement between industry and facultyis essential for faculty to understand current best practices in the industry and build strongerlinkages with theories and concepts. This knowledge, when brought back to the classroom,enriches students with practical skills and abilities to be successful in their careers. Additionally,engaging and working with the industry to design solutions helps higher education institutionsfulfill their broader mission of advancing research, providing meaningful education, andpromoting lifelong learning.ProblemTraditional industry-university collaborations in engineering

While many students opt for summer classes to accelerategraduation, internships are critical for developing practical skills, understanding career paths, andbridging the gap between academic learning and industry practice. Using Kolb's ExperientialLearning Theory as its framework, the research explores how internships enhance activeexperimentation and reflective observation, helping students apply theoretical knowledge to real-world contexts. The study focuses on Architecture, Construction Engineering Technology,Electronic Engineering Technology, and Facilities Management programs, using surveys to assessstudents' perceptions of internships.

This paper describes aweek-long engineering summer camp program designed for middle and high school students in2023 at East Tennessee State university (ETSU). The main goal of the camp was to introducestudent engineering, programs in the department and job prospects and to spark their interest inpursuing engineering education and career. During the camp students engaged in hands-onlearning experiences and featured lessons focusing on 3D scanning, drone technologies, 3Dprinting, circuitry, robot building, and prototyping. Students also learned about ETSU admissionprocesses, educational programs, financial aid

This will give the students the next set of tools theyneed to solve the project for that given module. In addition, the first weeks of the semester willserve as onboarding to college, with freshman success workshops and career developmentactivities continually being incorporated.The hypothesis is that this approach will take the course from a refresher course to a trueintroduction to engineering technology. It is anticipated that a higher-level math student will stayengaged through the projects, and the application of teams will enable them to assist lower-levelmath students in learning
