Thequestions in the instrument were defined following the Model of Domain Learning (MDL) tocapture the
industrialpartners through setting up an industrial advisory board1, 2. However, in order to sustain theinteraction and truly take advantage of the participation of industry leaders, many programs havedeveloped various models suitable for their specific needs3. Most programs involve their Page 26.538.2councils beyond a simple advisory role such as curriculum, extracurricular activities, research,and faculty development4, 5, some programs make use of industry-sponsored projects6, whileothers suggested integrate practice-oriented education of engineers by working with industrypartners7.In this paper, we present our experience in working with our industrial

The interviewees also mentioned that in comparison to the joint-programstructure, the university curriculum is out-dated and no longer meets the fast changingrequirements of the IS field. The joint program is strongly seen as an opportunity to close thisgap.During the interviews we have also analysed the satisfaction level of the students whoparticipate in the courses
friends with boys better.Alice may have had an easier time integrating into the team because her gender expressioncontained elements that are more typically male. Alice's athleticism, especially her choice ofphysically demanding sports like field hockey, may have made her more acceptable in CTA’smale dominated team culture. We know that her physical appearance at her first CTA meeting(disheveled from sports practice) had initially impressed the team. Alice is also openly anddirectly competitive: I like to compete in all areas. One thing I have noticed, I used to think I had to be number one. I had to be the best at everything. I was valedictorian, I was super competitive with this one guy in school, we fought it out to the
mental imageryis engaged for both blind and sighted people when interpreting engineering graphics.Mental imagery is cognitively part of visuospatial working memory, used for reasoning [11], andnot merely an internalization of the visual percept (actual sight). Mental imagery differs fromvision in that vision is a bottoms-up process, where visual stimuli are processed into sight, versusa tops-down process where knowledge is processed into imagery [8]. Some visual processes donot occur in mental imagery [12], but mental imagery does seem to depend on areas of the brainrelated to higher levels of integration in typical visual processing [13].Since this study examines how a blind student learned engineering graphics, understandingdifferences in the
last 30 years, whether working in corporate engineering or nonprofit international develop- ment, Ms. Leslie has developed and utilized her technical interests in creating solutions for engineering projects that integrate the needs of the client along with the sustainable needs of the environment. As Executive Director of EWB-USA, Ms. Leslie uses her organizational and project management skills to ensure that the volunteer organization can fulfill its mission and vision. Ms. Leslie was a part of the second project to be completed within EWB-USA, a water project in Mail, Africa. There she worked directly with the community and other volunteers to develop a agricultural water source, and this project was what
researched by Becker (2010).4A summary of his surveys indicates that the greatest disparity is found in four categories:1) hands-on know how; 2) methods, systems know how; 3) ability to work in teams; and4) communication skills. The ETIC was created to address these gaps while responding tothe regional economy’s requirements for well-qualified workers. By having direct accessto industry, students benefit from real-life experiential activities while gaining thefoundational skills necessary to their integration into the workforce.Progress to-dateSince the launch of the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) inMarch 2015, the School has put into action a strategic plan to nurture an entrepreneurialecosystem at the new facility.
