and importance of the program’s learningoutcomes and relevant accreditation board for engineering and technology criteria. The primaryobjective of this paper’s research was to gather information from sponsors of the MDC to assess Page 26.958.2the educational effectiveness to prepare its students for their professional careers. To do this, theauthors distributed a survey to 20 of its current and past industry sponsors. The survey focusedon the ABET Criteria 3 (a-k) program objectives.11 This paper addresses the quantitative resultsof the survey and compares industry identified needs to the MDC contribution to meet ABET.The research results

) was assessed with a 5-item self-report measure for anETSE Instrument which is defined as an individual’s belief in their ability to successfullyperform technical engineering tasks. The technical engineering tasks probed by the survey weremotivated by engineering and career outcomes in previous work [5]. The process of adapting theitems and selecting a representative five-item set from a more exhaustive list using factoranalysis is described in detail elsewhere [6-7]. This instrument asked participants "How confidentare you in your ability to do each of the following at this time?" The items on the survey wereranked on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4 with five response options labeled: (0) not confident,(1) slightly confident, (2

the customer (VOC) [15] would be anecessary step in defining critical attributes of such an idealized course. Harvesting the VOCincludes developing a customer needs list, developing a hierarchical structure for those needs,developing “importances” [15] from which to prioritize those needs, and looking at competitiveproducts aimed at meeting those same customer needs. Such a needs list was developed througha series of open discussions and more formal IAC meetings with the broadly defined customerlist mentioned above across nearly three years. The needs included developing a robust researchprogram that supported the needs of industry, and establishing course work that supportedEngineering Education graduate students with an interest in a career

facilitate the problem solution.According to its focus, educational collaboration can be classified in three groups (Thune2011):  development of new educational programs,  industry invocation in teaching and learning process by thesis supervision, lecturing or conducting research projects,  transfer between studies and work life (internships, career fairs, trainee or other recruitment programs).While the last group of activities is relatively easy to realize in short-term, the first two typesof cooperation might cause certain difficulties. The problems mostly occur because of thedifferences in nature and culture of the academia and industry worlds (Bruneel et al. 2010;Cerych and Frost-Smith 1985

critical formational period and yet often neglected in student successinitiatives [1-3]. The sophomore year is a defining moment in the college career, and also a timethat is filled with uncertainty and a sense of losing support students had in their freshmen year [2,4-6]. We recognized the need for students to strengthen their motivation, resolve, and capabilityto persevere through the challenges that tend to hit them particularly hard when they reach theirfirst engineering courses, typically in their sophomore year. We hypothesized that servicelearning projects during the students’ freshman-to-sophomore transition would address theseneeds and thus build engineering identity and improve their academic performance in theirsophomore year

While the Jain et al.3 study generalized theentrepreneurial role as encompassing a broad set of activities, which include consulting andpatenting, the author for this study posits that there are separate roles - which

fronts: continuous improvement ofthe capstone course and curriculum, harvesting of relevant projects for the capstone coursethrough strong industrial involvement, and expanded career opportunities for our graduates.Several curricular modifications are either directly or indirectly driven by MEAC feedback. Asan example, as suggested by MEAC, a mechatronics curriculum was developed in light of theincreasing important of smart system integration in both industrial settings and commercialproducts. As a result, we have substantially increased our mechatronics-relevant projects overthe years while further enhancing our students’ capability to work on multidisciplinary (MD)projects. The direct result is the expansion of MD projects in recent years

Byexamining the development level within students’ class standing groups (freshman to senior), onecan gauge whether students over time perform at higher rates than previous years. Ideally, to testgains across a given span of time, data is collected longitudinally, tracking an individual acrosstheir college career. Because we assume that regardless of student ability and demographicbackground, as whole, students will have higher learning gains as they progress through theengineering program, we assert that by aggregating and averaging out values over different classstanding groups can provide insights similar to that of a longitudinal study.Figures 1 and 2, where average scores are examined across

outstanding preparation for professional life. HerGPA upon graduation in engineering discipline A was around 3.1. She had lead CTA to successas a project manager, had engineering internships, participated in a variety of studentorganizations, and done research with the faculty advisor of the competition team.Alice had very specific and focused career goals, including the desire to work for a particularlyprominent and inspirational company. She also knew that while this goal could be realistic in thelong term, in the short term she would probably have to work for a less prestigious company tobuild her credentials before the more prominent company would want to hire her. …Short term [goal] is to find a job that will get me financial stable first
