Using the criteria listed above, the methodology seeks to gain the input andacceptance of industry by meeting with the employers to find the best value in a curriculum thatwill serve the industry needs and meet the employee’s education and training needs. This modelis characterized by Jack Welch in his autobiography and is defined as the “vitality

automobile manufacturers are training their HEV engineers and techniciansentirely “in-house,” which limits the number of engineers and technicians available for thegrowing hybrid market. There is a clear need for a systematic training program on HEV. Thispaper describes a funded project whose goal is to fill this need by developing an integratedlearning environment for HEV technology. This project targets engineering/engineeringtechnology students in 4-year universities, automotive technology students in communitycolleges, automotive engineers and technicians in industries, and K-12 technology teachers.1. IntroductionThe U.S. spends about $2 billion a week on oil imports, mostly for transportation fuel 1. Thisneed for oil affects our national
, calculation of cooling and heating degreedays, -- etc. In a concerted effort among K-12 students, educators and UTB faculty, the acquiredsolar and meteorological data will also be used for calibration and fine-tuning of satellite modelsof ground-level solar radiation estimates. The involvement of K-12 students, and their educators,in such a relevant scientific endeavor is expected to raise their interest in science and technology.This paper sketches the complete concept of the educational weather station network beingproposed, and discusses its educational and research potential.Manufacturing engineering technology and electronic engineering technology students areinvolved in the design and implementation of the network.

Determining agreementbefore embarking on course design might point to outcomes that are important to one group butnot to another. For example, if there are significant differences in how the three groups perceivethe value of a senior project in initial and long-term employee success, additional investigationand intervention might be required.Historically, the impetus for senior-level capstone experiences has come from industry.
