partners to integrate manyof these activities in order to provide more professional practice skills beyond traditionalengineering education to our students. We believe our recent success in fostering sustainedindustrial partnership is the direct result of the following practices:  Proactive recruitment: selecting partners who have long-term interest to affiliate with the program and replacing inactive members through normal attrition.  Relevant engagement: involving partners with activities that have potential impacts on the program and providing them with a well-planned agenda so they feel full engaged and take ownership of the affiliation.  Steady leadership: selecting and retaining strong leaders who understand

The high school program inAutomation and Production Technology (APT) provides viable entry path to the college and career pipeline for theadvanced manufacturing industry. This program plus related adult vocational programs are both aligned with theManufacturing Skill Standards Council, Certified Production Technician (MSSC-CPT). This articulation of nationalcertifications into college coursework is now known as “the Florida Plan,” with MSSC as the first, 2007, andexample adopted articulated certification in Florida.

This process also gives the students a sense of ownership of theproject.All senior design teams in the BME program present their project proposal in early October. Theresearch team is expected to already have a detailed experimental plan by then. They should alsohave completed basic lab skill training. The team will use the remaining one and half monthbefore the semester end to work on experimental setup and conduct pilot tests. It is important forthe faculty to make sure that the students start with small-scale pilot runs for each new study.These pilot runs save resources and time, and provide valuable guidance to improve theexperimental design.

There was significant, real time trial and errorduring the first implementation. Now that we have taught the sequence once, we can improve thesequencing and alignment of the different assignments.In addition, students reported feeling burnt out at the end of the sequence. Part of the cause canbe addressed by the sequencing of content and assignments during the term. In the firstimplementation, the latter part of the quarter had too many simultaneous assignments. A moredifficult challenge is programmatic. Taking four core engineering courses at one time is a veryheavy load. Most of our students were taking a

These components enabled the robotic rover to climb over non-uniform obstacles that existed in its drive path while retaining traction on at least three out of the four wheels during motion. Outside of school he works seasonally at a private tax office in his local town in Long Island. His experi- ence both in and out of school has furthered his innate abilities to plan, organize and lead design projects to proliferate his experience with mechatronic design.

Therefore an experimental research design was chosen.

Our second direction, which we have learned might be the most important part of thiswork, is how should the criterion map be created? Even though our results seem to show positiveresults, we suspect that the criterion map is fundamental in this process. For example, if the termsin a field are highly connected (larger degree) then does this make it easier or harder for a student.Also, how does the timing of when the terms are presented in the course impact the longitudinalstudy.
