survey examinesthese collaborative relationships only in the United States, while it is important to include foreignliterature in the historical development of these relationships.BackgroundIndustry-academia collaboration is not a new concept as we find the earliest discussion occurringat the end of the 1960’s,3 in Russia. These collaborations sponsored by the governments ofcountries4,5 interested in promoting this kind of activity, eventually became individualrelationships between companies and universities throughout the rest of the world. Currentliterature indicates that such relationships became more of the norm in the late 1990’s and in thelast decade commonplace in various forms. Recently, consideration of minorities, women, andother
is having difficulties in their process and step in to assist.Design challenges provide a safe environment for students to feel the pressure of working on achallenge problem with a tight timeline. However, the stakes are not so high that failure iscatastrophic. In addition, they see where they are failing and work to develop methods toanticipate failure conditions and avoid them. Further studies need to be performed to determineif students’ increase in skills and confidence transfer to their other design experience in theiracademic and professional careers.REFERENCES 1. ABET.

Engineering Education, 2016 Performance of Engineering and Engineering Technology Scholars in the Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) ProgramAbstractThis paper introduces the Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) Scholars’ program funded by the NationalScience Foundation (NSF) that focuses on students who transfer at the 3rd year level from 2-yearschools to our university. The objectives of the TiPi program are: (i) to address a nationalconcern by helping to expand the engineering/technology workforce of the future, (ii) to developlinkages and articulations with 2-year schools and their S-STEM programs, (iii) to serve as amodel for other selective universities to provide transfer students the access to the baccalaureate,(iv) to give scholars hands-on

Tohelp students overcome this barrier, we have also been creating a series of web modules toaccompany the classroom modules by exploiting two recently emerged instructional strategies:computer-assisted instruction and visual learning. Computer-assisted instruction is an innovativeinstructional strategy that has been receiving increasing attention in engineering education 16. Ithas been shown that computer

two have known defects. How close the student reviewer comes tothe instructor’s rating of these three artifacts determines the reviewer’s reviewercompetency index, and the RCI is used to weight the reviewer’s scores in a calculation ofthe author’s grade. The Coursera MOOC platform employs a takeoff on this strategy: astudent is asked to rate one actual student submission, which has also been rated by aninstructor. If the student’s rating is “close enough,” the student is allowed to assesspeers’ work. Otherwise, the student is given another pre-rated artifact to assess. If thestudent’s score is “close enough,” (s)he is allowed to go on to assess peers; otherwise, theprocess is repeated up until the fifth attempt, after which the student

Current and future work includes continued efforts for acomprehensive integration of the boards into the Electrical Engineering curriculum.

Relative to traditionalmacroscale systems, ‘lab on a chip’ systems yield noteworthy advantages including more precisecontrol of reactants faster reaction time, lower consumption of reagents, convenient disposal,effective containment of infectious agents or hazardous substances, portability, and compactness.Lab-on-a-chip applications such as polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to amplify nucleic acids, aswell as cell cultures, need closely regulated heating and cooling with temperature control (often ±0.5 °C) and fast thermal response times (> 5 °C/s) [4]. For such applications, infrared thermalcameras offer non-contact measurement of temperatures and two
scenario indicates that Dice.com data would not be a wise choice forthe OPC course design and review process.The reason why the professor is looking for a particular website here is that a job may beadvertised across multiple websites at a time. Aggregating the data may exaggerate the ratings ofthe topics. For example, company X may post a job description that contains ProductionScheduling on all the five websites. Summing up the topic across all the websites would give anequivalent rating of frequency five while the topic should have received a rating equivalent tofrequency one.The professor may also need to explore more topics that s/he has not yet provided a rating for.For example, the professor needs time allocation recommendations for the
Engineering Professionals—Russia, India, AmericaAbstractIn this global world, today’s engineer is likely to have to work in global international teamswith colleagues from other nationalities. The challenge for many engineering curricula is howto include, in a realistic way, this global dimension and increase the student’s awareness ofthe issues that are encountered. However as curricula begins to be developed, it would bebeneficial to study what the differences might be between cultures.To expose the issues that may be encountered for future multidisciplinary teams made up ofstudents from USA, Russia and India, the Miville Guzman Universal Diversity Scale(MGUDS-S) survey and form which assesses cross cultural diversity

role of self-efficacy and itscorrelation to academic achievement in science and engineering. Self-efficacy is a person’sbelief that s/he has the ability to achieve their goals, such as a career in science or engineering.Self-efficacy is more than self-confidence, as it is situational dependent. Studies have shown thatincreased self-efficacy reporting leads to students being more successful in science andengineering. High self-efficacy can positively influence academic persistence and perseverancein attaining career related goals.6, 7There are four predominant factors that lead to the development of self-efficacy in an individual.Mastery experiences are the most significant factor in developing self-efficacy and occur when aperson masters a

. These tests offer threetrials based on the student’s performance. If the student passes the test with a grade of B (80%)or more on a trial, s/he does not have to take the next trial. Each new trial involves new questionsthat have similar difficulty levels to the previous trial. Therefore, if the student retake a trial,his/her grade will be reduced in the successive trials. The student will not receive a grade untilhe/she successfully solves the trial or exhaust all the trials. In other mastery applications,resubmission would involve an assignment or evaluation instrument that is slightly harder thanthe previous one; therefore, students who resubmit do not receive a reduced grade.
