undergraduate and graduate curriculum in INBM.In today’s evolving global manufacturing environment, there is a need to educateengineering students in emerging Information Technology (IT) concepts andtechnologies, which are revolutionizing product development practices. The emergenceof the Internet as a powerful communication vehicle has catalyzed the adoption of virtualengineering methods, which in turn have enabled organizations to become more agile. Inthis context, engineering students need to be knowledgeable in topics such as informationmodeling, distributed manufacturing and Internet based engineering. At New MexicoState University, several course modules dealing with these subjects have beenintroduced at the undergraduate senior and graduate
credit course work from a two-year technical or communitycollege to a four-year institution has historically been difficult for students. Engineering courseswith high levels of mathematics (Calculus) and science preparation often result in denial ofcourse credit transfers resulting in extended times to complete a baccalaureate degree.Individuals transferring from two-year to four-year institutions may be required to start theirengineering education over from the beginning. Transfer agreements designed to make it easy for students to transfer credits have existedbetween WCTC and Marquette University since 1995. The current agreement allows students tocomplete their first two years of electrical or mechanical engineering technology at WCTC
Industry-University Partnerships for Undergraduate Engineering Internships Theodore W. Manikas, Kaveh Ashenayi Department of Electrical Engineering The University of Tulsa Tulsa, OklahomaAbstractCooperation between industry and academia is essential due to increasing global competition andrapid changes in technology. The establishment of undergraduate engineering internshipprograms can help strengthen industry-university partnerships. These programs enhanceundergraduate engineering education, as students learn how to transform their theoreticaltechnology background into practical design applications. In addition

The overarching research question is: Whatsociocultural norms and lived experiences are dominant in the context of concept inventoryquestions?Literature ReviewConcept Inventories Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators and educationalresearchers commonly use concept inventories (CIs) to assess students’ conceptualunderstanding of foundational topics by asking students about the topics in everyday, out of theclassroom contexts [2], [5]. Globally CIs are used to assess students’ conceptual understandingof specific subject areas and study the effectiveness of curriculum
training, workforce development, and engineering education. Through these research topics, Raissa has been publishing papers for peer-reviewed journal and conference pro- ceedings.

specialized technical skills but also appreciatea system-level thinking and mindset. The engineering faculty would like students to focus firston ‘what’ functions must the system perform to meet customer requirements or market needsthat is a solution to a particular problem. Usually, students are fixated on the ‘how’, applyingtheir particular and interesting technology without consideration to a particular market orcustomer needs. To continue and stress the importance of technical depth, several factors abouttechnical merit are provided for further assessment of student outcomes. Examples of selecteddeliverables by students from several projects and assessment tools are given to illustrate thesystem-level thinking.Keywordscapstone course, system
