Paper ID #32314Academic and Industry Collaboration: A Literature ReviewDr. Anne M. Lucietto, Purdue University, West Lafayette Dr. Lucietto has focused her research in engineering technology education and the understanding of engineering technology students. She teaches in an active learning style which engages and develops practical skills in the students. Currently she is exploring the performance and attributes of engineering technology students and using that knowledge to engage them in their studies. This often includes their interaction in the classroom as well as their transition to industry.Dr. Diane L. Peters

Refurbishing and Restoring an ECET Curriculum Professors Peter Schuyler and Tom Eppes University of HartfordAbstractSince the 1990’s, nationwide enrollment in engineering technology programs has been declining.It has become increasing difficult to attract and retain students. A number of reasons have beenattributed to this trend including; outdated curricula, loss of manufacturing jobs, off-shoring ofjobs and a weak economy. As a result, competition to enroll students interested in theseprograms is

The M.S.program in Computer and Information Systems Engineering (CISE), an interdisciplinary fieldthat integrates different aspects of computer engineering, computer science, electricalengineering, systems engineering and information systems, was implemented in fall 1997. It hassince experienced a phenomenal growth in student enrollment. A Ph.D. in CISE program, whichbuilds on the master’s program as its core, has since been developed and approved forimplementation.1

It is very hard to predict the future in the current environment where newtechnologies surface each day because it is difficult to imagine things we have neverexperienced. Most of us can’t predict well and that is why the “futurist profession” emerged.Businesses have to make decisions on not only what they think will happen, but also the way itwill happen. In a matter of days, a new technology can make an old technology obsolete and theinvestment in it virtually worthless. In most cases, left-brain dominant engineers of the past havetended to think conservatively and not be visionary. Others who were not engineers have thesame problem as shown by some past predictions by people

Importantly, students strongly agreed that “Technology plays an important role in solving society’sproblems,” and that “Engineers have contributed greatly to fixing problems of the world.” Students displayedoverall excitement for the future. Further, students’ comments revealed the positive impact of the course.

One effective method of doingthis is to employ a comprehensive systems approach and the following five steps:systems thinking, systems design, quality approach, management of change andemploying appropriate instructional technology 6. Systems thinking allows educators toavoid being continuously distracted by passing fads. It allows for major overhaulingchanges to take place, which will have a powerful overall effect on our curriculumefforts.

Here, though, the Collegeof Engineering has chosen the General Engineering Criteria and not named degree programs asan incipient manner to nurture the program. However, there remains the possibility of suchdesignated degree program names at some point.
