ETD 335 University-Industry Partnerships to Enhance Engineering Education Maged B. Mikhail and Hassan S. Hayajneh Purdue University NorthwestAbstractEngineering education is facing a lot of challenges nowadays due to the COVID-19 pandemicand low enrollment issues that caused lowered funding opportunities and administrative budgetreductions. Engineering educators are required to play vital leadership roles to face thesechallenges. Combining efforts and collaborating with other programs and external partners,including community colleges, industry personnel
projects. These complexities Proceedings of the 2023 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2023, American Society for Engineering Education ETD 335are difficult for students to experience in a traditional classroom setting. Vertical integration ofEL components throughout the program will provide an opportunity for the students to get morefield interactions as well as work in groups in a field setting. In addition to EL componentobjectives addressed, students will develop other relevant skills, including the perspective ofoverlapping areas of fieldwork and research, exposure to various federal and
internships done in the area. As for theemployers, 84% respondents stated that they have manufacturing or related activities as theirprimary business, 63% employ up to five hundred people (63.16%) and 36.84% employ between1,001 and 10,000 people (Figures 1 and 2).

Perhaps the most major challengeis the lack of time for both partners.It is helpful, therefore, to maximize all opportunities to interact with regional and local industry.This paper outlines the numerous types of contact our program has with local industry and howwe have attempted to use every morsel of input we can gain to inform our curriculum.

The paperalso assesses the efficiency of the course through analyzing course assessment data. Proceedings of the 2023 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2023, American Society for Engineering Education ETD 365Data will be collected from peer evaluation of individual team member’s role, and evaluation ofthe teamwork as a whole. A comparison of teams with each other will be analyzed to understandthe impact of multi-disciplinary team members on the

More higher education institutions have preferred online methods as preferredmethods for offering technology education for conveniences in scheduling, resource limitationsetc. However, online delivery modalities are seen as the most challenging in teaching Industry4.0 concepts. Due to the size and the high cost of the industry 4.0 laboratory equipment, it isoften impractical and not cost effective for higher education institution to provide hands
