College-Industry Partnerships

Requirement for GraduationIntroductionProfessional internships are not a new concept to college and university programs.However, to require this experience in the form of a demanding, well designed andimplemented internship is a very time consuming investment, which will yield excellentreturns for your students and for your program. Students, both traditional and non-traditional, are given an opportunity to demonstrate, advance, and refine technical andsupervisory competencies learned in the classroom and in the laboratories. Graduateswith this type of resume-worthy experience have a substantial advantage over peers withno internship experience. “Once, having an internship or two on your resume made you areal standout in the marketplace.

to develop these outcomes the Engineering Technology faculty at MU had to complete acareful analysis of each required course in the curriculum as well as the technical electives. Themodel suggested by Angelo was used in this process21. The model is based on four basicpreconditions: shared trust, shared vision and goals, shared language and concepts, and sharedguidelines22. Shared trust is one of the most important preconditions needed for a meaningfulanalysis of the curriculum and to identify outcomes that will be high quality assessmentindicators. Angelo points out that in order for trust to occur the “participants need to feelrespected, valued, safe, and in the company of worthy peers”23. To facilitate this approach, theEngineering

communication).As part of a National Science Foundation CCLI Phase 1 grant, DUE: 0836861, three designactivities are being developed and incorporated in the first-year engineering program at MichiganTech. For this project, three groups (undergraduate, graduate and faculty) with differenteducational backgrounds developed learning modules. The student groups were selected to helpwith the development because it would give a fresh perspective on the design projects. Theundergraduate students would gain some ownership in the education of their peers. The graduatestudent would learn more about teaching through the development of a design project. Theutilization of the student groups to develop design projects would permit more design projects tobe available

rising energy prices create a renewed opportunityto move U.S. public policy and engineering education in a mutually beneficial direction. Callsfor change in the way energy education occurs are certainly not new, and earlier expressions ofconcern are a good source for our current reflection. Writing in 1973, the highly respectedRepublican legislator Howard Baker pondered the then-current oil supply shortage.4 Heconcluded that well-developed education programs linking environmental attitudes with energyuse could have a strong and lasting impact on energy consumption behaviors in the country.

Preliminary data suggests that theseprojects result in improved grades in calculus.
