Accrediting bodies generally do not stipulate the specificcharacteristics of student advising. However, advising must occur in order to monitor studentperformance and progress toward degree attainment. In addition, advising must include bothacademic and career matters. Debate often centers on the use of professional advisors incomparison with faculty member advisement. No right answer is clear

Education, 2020 Evaluating the Impact of Training on Increasing Cross-Culture CompetencyIntroduction:Technological, political and economic changes worldwide have driven an increase inglobalization [1] and many industries that operate globally need to hire engineers that will besuccessful in that arena. Assigning the most technically competent engineer to a project withoutconsidering their global competency can be very costly for organizations. If these engineers fail,wasted travel and living expenses, lost contracts, and personal costs could be significant [2].Therefore, many employers state that cross-cultural competency is important for career developand actively recruit that skill set [3].For some time now, industry and academia have tried to

For students, industry partnerships in capstone are seen as providing an intersection ofstudents’ academic learning and their future careers in industry. Our institution supportssponsored projects that can prepare students to approach open-ended problems, improve designand communication skills, incorporate stakeholder needs, and work effectively on teams. Theconnections they build with industry partners can also be the beginning of a professionalnetwork. Furthermore, experience working on a real-life project can help students identify orclarify their career path within engineering. For engineering programs, these industry partners can serve as a resource to benefit

Almost all of the Switchers that metall of the requirements, switched into another major that was STM, except for a couple thatswitched into another engineering major. Speculating, it is possible that some of the highachieving students are leaving for another typical pre-med major, which may be perceived as“easier” than BME. They may also be leaving due to attitudes about perceived career prospectsof BME majors relative to other STEM majors, documented by others [10], [11]. Clearly, thereis a

Our challenge as engineering educators is toreach these students in order to prepare them for their future careers as engineers in society.Students will likely encounter many different teaching styles during their academic careers, andthis variety generally adds to their overall educational experience. However, if given a choice,most students would select instructors that use an interactive teaching style.
