While there are merits to different approaches of classroom teamassignments, project alternative design approaches, and variations in team sizes, the university-wide program appears to be best served on a case-by case basis, for which the needs of thecommunity are reflected in the team formulation in the academic course.The university-wide program improves the management of the partnerships as the programstructures the coursework and project development. Often, projects crossing disciplines retainseparate course numbers such that students in the civil engineering program can be assessedaccording to departmental standards.

Additional reflection includes a summary of the short- and long-term benefitsof the experience and resulting infrastructure from the perspectives of both academia andindustry participants.OverviewCollaboration between academia and industry in engineering programs has a strong historyprimarily driven by and through research partnerships. While significant interactions have longexisted at the graduate level, interactions at the undergraduate level are more limited. Thoughthis trend is beginning to change; some challenges facing both industry and academia areprompting an increased level of interaction and new models of collaboration1,2.Technical programs, such as those found in applied engineering domains, have primarily focusedon

There was anunderrepresentation of female students in the population, approximately 20%, but over 50% ofthe respondents in the sample were female (14 female and 13 male respondents). This was idealfor studying gendered perceptions, but in itself may reflect some gendered perceptions of theimportance of this area of research. If male students were not inclined to take the survey asseriously as female students, that could affect their answers. This was indicated in at least acouple of the responses.

Curriculum with Coherent ThemeAbstractA design engineer uses math to solve real-world problems. To that end, traditional mechanicalengineering curricula teach modeling and analysis skills in a set of specific, often decades-old,courses. This regiment of courses give the student the skill set needed to be an engineer, but is alltoo often insufficient at teaching that student how to use that skill set. That is, the student is ill-prepared to bring those multidisciplinary skills together to solve problems, to actually be anengineer.A new curriculum strategy is proposed in which at least one course each semester reflects theconcepts of model-based design. Therefore, the engineering student becomes progressivelymature in applying his or her

and further developed in MaC II. One possibleavenue is the development of undergraduate STEM degree programs as alternatives to traditionaldiscipline majors. These might mirror the growth of Computational Science and Engineering programsover the past 10 – 15 years, and are likely to be reflected in the growth of Data-Enabled Science andEngineering in the next several years. A key question is the extent to which mathematical modeling istreated as a stand-alone “course” or whether it should be integrated as the Modeling across theCurriculum title suggests. Coordinating the fundamental mathematics, computation, statistics and sciencecontent to support application in a wide range of STEM fields may have strong appeal to potentialstudents.The 2.5

The tasks required of the EET group overall were reflective of the necessary skills of both phases of the project. In this case it involved going through a selection process to properly choose and implement an electrical system in a 3-D printer that was comparable to a printer currently in the ET building of IUPUI. Secondarily our managerial responsibilities became more stringent in the second phase of the project because there was a new group of MET students inheriting the project, as the MET degree only

The faculty member wished to createan ongoing outreach but particularly wished to focus on the summer months, when K-12 teachershave some time to reflectively consider pedagogical practices. Because time was not a limitingfactor, but ongoing relationships were a factor in the strategy, it was clear that a socialnetworking site would have assets that a site such as a microblogging site such as Twitter wouldnot have. Ultimately, it was determined that LinkedIn would be the best social network to publicize theavailability of the tools due to the presence of

The original test pit was roughly 15 feet long, 10 feetwide and covered with one foot of simulant. Recently, it was modified to have an area that isapproximately three feet deep to allow testing of a system designed to dig icy regolith—regolithmore than one foot below the surface. This area contains regolith with larger rocks to moreaccurately reflect the icy regolith used in NASA’s competition arena. The pit dimensions aresufficient for the creation of a small obstacle course to test the drivability of the robot in the lunarregolith. In addition, the
