Session 3322 Partnering with Industry to Provide Technology Education By Dewey A. Swanson and Julie A. Phillips Purdue University at ColumbusIntroductionPurdue University’s Statewide Technology programs were designed to extend the university’stechnology programs throughout the state of Indiana. Statewide Technology is a partnershipbetween education, business, industry, and government: formed to meet Indiana’s need fortrained technologists. Local business/industry and government representatives helped plan,develop, and implement community programs selected from plans of study provided by

The Greenfield Coalition adapts its own methodology called ‘Water-fall’ in itscurriculum [13]. The coalition holds regular developer workshops, makes ongoing developmentsand experiences known and provides key points for each stage of development. The completeprocess of development consisted of (i) Planning and classifying core material into modules, (ii)Creating PowerPoint story-boards for all modules (iii) Review and feedback of story-boards, andmultimedia elements (iv) Multimedia development and (v) Delivery.(i) Planning of modules: A well thought out plan for each of the modules is made.

Funding of up to $2500 per student team per semester is competitively awarded based onstudent-generated proposals to the venture capital fund. To be funded, the team must be multidis-ciplinary, including engineering students from at least two of the engineering departments and atleast one non-engineering major. Each team must submit a business plan and must be organizedinto a corporate structure. Finally, the team must propose an original product idea that can besuccessfully designed, developed and prototyped in a single semester. The latter criterion is possi

This processwould require students at each level, first year through graduate, to become part of a multi-faceted, multi-functional construction design/manage/construct organization inside a universityenvironment. Faculty would become company officers, CEOs, senior project managers,department managers, etc. First year students would assume introductory roles (plan reviewers,as-built and shop drawing developers, quantity takeoff surveyors, etc.). Each year a studentwould move up to a different more advanced role. Field engineers, material testers andestimators at the second

The rateof returns was more than adequate enough to provide clear information on the performance of ourgraduates, their satisfaction levels, and the views of their employers. The information is alsoconsistent with the other vehicles used in our total plan for assessment. The other instruments usedin the assessment plan include a “Cap and Gown” survey, named because it is a very briefquestionnaire administered to students that are literally lined up for the graduation ceremony, andlonger term alumni surveys that reach further back for data from graduates.While each of

The teacher used thisopportunity is a positive way by revisiting the concept that real engineering projects take longtime. Further, concept of redesign to address specific problems could also be addressed. At thisjuncture, no formal written input has been obtained from the students. However, judging fromtheir comments during the different phases of what the project, it is more than safe to say thatthey LOVED this project! Some of the motivational writings that teacher had them do prior tothe fabrication of the solutions were absolutely inspiring!According to the biology teacher, the things that were planned

toexhibit mastery that is greater than simply knowing some computer science, electrical andmechanical engineering. Assessment of student learning therefore must go beyond measuring themastery of the various knowledge domains contributing to the discipline. Here we discuss ourcurrent assessment results, the tools we have used, and our plans for continuing assessment.There are three measures of success for any new program: 1. The number and quality of students attracted to the program, 2. The extent to which graduates are employed or admitted to graduate school, and 3. The degree to which the program achieves its educational objectives.The first measure, enrollment, is, sine qua non, the most important and straightforward. This hasalready

Work plans must address the research goals and expected outcomes of the proposed research, and address how the research fellows will be provided with on-the-job hard and soft skills training to be prepared for the shifting industry mix in science and innovation. Semi-annual progress reports will be required of both the research fellow and the corporate mentors. Mentor reports are to be submitted to ASEE and should include a report on the interactions with the research fellows, address their assessment of the progress of the research plan, list the publications and presentations in process, and address how they

Unfortunately, by theend of the first stage, it became apparent that the recruitment of three undergraduate students forthe first phase was an overestimate. The overabundance of undergraduate assistance left verylittle for each individual to equally contribute and, in the end, the experience was perhaps lessvaluable than had been anticipated. The difference in timing of events between industry and academia is an issue that hinderseffective project interaction. The summer break and breaks between semesters were obviousproblems that had to be addressed, but there is also a rhythm to the work load that students carrythrough the semester.
