It is this definition of PhD thatdifferentiates it from a professional doctorate, such as a Doctor of Engineering (DEng), wherethe latter focuses on the ability of the individual (often an

They show that all constituentsinvolved in the program: students, faculty and industrial partners, benefited from theacademic/industrial interaction. The impact of the interaction described was essentially on thecurriculum, but it suggests benefits to the industrial partners beyond the involvement ofundergraduate students.The Graduate Internship Program (GIP) discussed in the paper is different from the partnershipsdiscussed above in the sense that we do not transfer research results from academia to theindustry. Instead, we are uniquely developing the research technology at the

The active participation of participants for empirical lessons throughaudio-video technologies has been tested as a pilot program and its impact has been positive. Inthe future, our intent is to propose the VLES concepts as a new addition to current secondaryeducation in the central valley to promote engineering and technology. Addition of the conceptto the current curricula in secondary education will inspire students to pursue Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines at earlier age.The project experience and data collected from the

underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Hispanic adults continueto be underutilized talent pool. Although lower Hispanic enrollments in higher education have been cited as a primarybarrier to STEM careers, more Hispanic high school students are enrolling in higher education. They represent thesecond largest ethno-racial group among undergraduates (25%). Despite the relatively high representation inundergraduate education, they represent only 8% of the total STEM workforce. Women and Hispanic women remainseverely underrepresented in STEM fields. Currently, women comprise 25% of the STEM workforce, and Hispanicwomen comprise less than 2% of the STEM workforce [1]. Addressing the equity gaps in male-dominated fields

Two teaching approaches that have been developed based on a learning-style approachwill be shared.
