Few of these elements can be simulated effectively in a traditional academicenvironment and the participation of engineering practitioners becomes critical. Similar to mostengineering programs, we have achieved this through the involvement of our advisory councilmembers in this capacity and this paper presents our experience in developing an academic-industrial partnership over the years. The relationship starts with the integration of theseindustry leaders into our program’s continuous improvement process, including ABETaccreditation assessment, the sponsorship of senior capstone design projects, and othereducational activities. The development of the partnership has

OSU provides students an opportunity to apply their academics and professionaland practical skills to real-world problems as a member of a multidisciplinary team. Theprogram is a two-semester project design sequence. Based on the project scope, the coordinatorsform teams and assign a faculty advisor to ensure project success. The sponsor is vested in theprogram by assigning an
such short visits and recommendations for pursuing a similar sabbatical experience. Introduction Sabbatical experiences provide an opportunity for faculty to immerse themselves in current scholarship, to explore new areas of research, and/or to pursue professional development. For capstone design instructors, many of whom coordinate projects with industry sponsors, a logical option for sabbatical is to spend it in industry. This option is particularly attractive and useful for faculty members who have followed the standard academic pathway and have not previously worked as practicing engineers. The engineering literature is surprisingly sparse on faculty sabbaticals, and what literature exists focuses more on the use of sabbaticals for

This trend soon required better trained engineers in design of new products, and thissparked the idea of founding a Consortium with companies that have similar requirements forskilled people and to train all of them under the umbrella of a full time energy engineeringgraduate program. However, faculty know that real industrial experience seldom comes in booksor scientific papers, so a decision was made to ask companies to support the students, and Page 26.955.3faculty, with their top engineers as mentors in their thesis projects.

The next section will describe the research methodology.The Results section will present two separate narratives of Sarah's and Alice’s engineeringexperiences as they pertain to team competition. The Discussion section will compare andcontrast Sarah's and Alice’s experiences and interpret those experiences, including placing theseexperiences in the context of the literature. The final section will draw conclusions.2.0 MethodologyThis manuscript uses data from a large research project using qualitative and quantitativeresearch methodologies and an

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

Despite considerable efforts over thepast decades to recruit and retain women and minorities in engineering, female and minoritystudents still comprise a small portion of SELECT participants.This paper stems from a multi-year research project to identify and explain which factorscontribute to cultures of inclusion or exclusion among various SELECT. We constructed asurvey to determine the generalizability of findings obtained from interviews with SELECTteams and enhance our understanding of cultures within SELECT.Overall, the survey showed most teams have low

mastery experiences.Fourth, the mitigation of negative interpretations of somatic and emotional states during the taskcan help develop self-efficacy. Physical and psychological experiences such as increased heartrate and rapid breathing before a presentation, or tiredness of muscles after exercise, can eitherbe interpreted as a positive performance-enhancer or as something to be avoided. Reframingnegative interpretations of these states can build self-efficacy directly and encourage moremastery experiences.Contextual examples of each of Bandura’s four sources of self-efficacy in undergraduateengineering education: first, mastery experiences could consist of completing practice problemsto master theory, engaging in project work and hands-on

This ability would enable the student tocommunicate ideas in subsequent design classes with peers on teams as well as contribute insome work settings. Learning to follow engineering graphic conventions was the base leveloutcome. Many of these conventions can be enacted algorithmically, much as a CAD systemcan automatically generate orthographic projections given

The constant exposure of this attitude set forth by society haslong lasting, and in some cases severe, effects on the mental stability of young Native students.As a result, some students begin to believe that their chances of succeeding in the future are veryslim, so they often flunk out of high school and dismiss the idea of attending college altogether.This is a very damaging self-fulfilling prophecy that is very real to these
