Thepaper found that industry experience in science, engineering, and technology fields was highlydesired by colleges and universities for teaching positions for several reasons, but chief amongthem, for the “cutting-edge training” they could provide students. While the paper looked atSTEM faculty, it chose to focus on how those faculty with industry experience taught theirstudents cognitive, intra-, and interpersonal skills.

We also analyze the criteria a research team should apply to select aresearch project from a firm to advance its stock of knowledge. In our model, a firm links to a university to form a R&D research consortiumto conduct an innovation R&D project. The firm provides the investment, which isthe cost of project conduction carried out at the university. The university receivesthe investment and conduct the research for the project. The outcome of theseprojects, in the form of stock of knowledge and preparation for students, benefitsboth sides and gives a win-win situation: the firm uses the new innovation to reduceits production cost; the

Heretofore, engineering education has largely obliged these students by concentratingthe curriculum on technical analysis. I have hope, though, that the winds have changed.

Lab modules with open-ended design learning experience through using a lab-in-a-boxapproach were developed to allow students to solve lab problems with multiple approaches thatallow problem solving independently and collaboratively. Because this innovative lab designallows problem solving at various cognitive levels, it is better suited for concept exploration andcollaborative lab learning environments as opposed to the traditional lab works with a“cookbook” approach that tend to lead students to follow certain procedures for expectedsolutions with the absence of problem exploration stage.
