Academic/Industrial Partnerships to Enhance Learning and Strengthen Curriculumand ResearchZ. Otero Keil, Chemical Engineering Program, Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ 08028Abstract: Industrial partnerships have been a hallmark of Rowan Engineering Programsfrom the onset. The development of the Rowan Engineering Curricula began in 1994 andincluded the input of an advisory committee of technology industry leaders. Thecoursework and laboratories were planned and are being implemented with a strongcomponent of industrial partnerships and industrial experiences for students and faculty. Rowan has taken a multi-faceted approach to academic/industrial partnerships.Rowan faculty teaches courses on company sites. Many of these courses
preference for active over reflective learning with no significantdifference between the mean preference (p = 0.685). The strong emphasis on laboratoryexperiences in Engineering Technology curricula supports active learning styles. Contrary topopular anecdote, these results indicate that students do not exhibit a strong preference for activelearning over reflective learning at the early stages of their undergraduate academic career. Thissuggests that active learning experiences including laboratory exercises and interactive problemsessions may provide a slight learning advantage over reflective activities (homework, reports)for students at this stage. Active learners typically prefer group learning over individual learningactivities.Each group in

Vertical Integration with a Vortex Tube Ken French John Brown UniversityAbstract Vortex tubes are made by small groups of students in a freshman engineering‘concepts and design’ class. The tubes are made from specially prepared kits with detailsimportant to performance left un-finished. Students in an elective manufacturingmethods class produce the kit components once they are designed. An upper division fluid mechanics class will use laboratory sessions to measureand compare the performance of the freshman teams’ vortex tubes. Design, CAD andteam dynamic are essential components of the learning10.Background The vortex

Indeed, most equipmentin an advanced machine laboratory does not have any actual handles at all, only virtual ones.This paper discusses how the exciting world of advanced manufacturing machine control can beintroduced when algebra topics are being studied at high school. While teaching the basics of theCartesian coordinate system a few simple numerical control machine codes are also explained. Thisenables students to compose the code required to complete simple movements of a cutter andunderstand concepts of computer related manufacturing. Free, easy to use simulation software allowsthe students to test their code.This approach has been used in a
second year project-based experiences It is important to begin the education of engineering students with an authentic experience inengineering, often delivered through a project-based subject in the first or second year. We aredeveloping two types experiences. In one model, the laboratory or project-based experience is asimple but rather complete aeronautical vehicle, at the scope that can be successfully developedby students, but with an interdisciplinary perspective. Our preliminary selection of these projectsincluded: ≠ The development of an RC lighter than air vehicle, capable of being flown under radio control over a closed course, teaching equilibrium and simple flight mechanics. ≠ The design and testing of water rockets

Hence, they could be barriers or drivers toinstructional change in higher education. These 31 factors were classified and organized into sixcategories: 1) culture, 2) change management, 3) institutional support, 4) pedagogical knowledgeand skills, 5) students´ experience, and 6) faculty motivation.BackgroundSeveral reports on engineering education make the call to change pedagogical approaches inengineering by increasingly embedding research on learning into teaching practices [1-3].

Past studies have shown that whileengineering instructors value creativity, they believe it to be lacking in their students, while atthe same time current engineering students do not think that creativity is valued by theirprofessors1. Similarly, while there is a greater industry emphasis on recruiting creative engineersand a greater interest in creativity from new engineering students, related literature questionswhether or not postsecondary institutions are teaching creative thinking to their engineeringstudents1.

have a network of individuals that can assist them in their career development or in theirjob search. While job searching and a number of career development resources are offered throughcampus-wide internship/career center offices, many engineering students, for various reasons, donot utilize these resources. Hence, a number of engineering colleges provide this type ofinformation through stand-alone workshops [1], modules [2-3], and incorporation within existingcourses [4-6]. Some engineering departments also teach stand-alone courses targeted at studentscloser to graduation [7-8]. Other engineering colleges have developed multiple college-widecourses that encompass a complete professional development program including teamwork,decision-making
