The industry gains a new application for an existing technology, meaning the priceper use of their technology decreases while their efficiency and ability to perform jobs increases.This new approach has been applied to three projects in the past three years: • Repurposing a land surveying drone to perform bridge inspection (case study) • Using a foam generator to produce cellular concrete (Figure 1) • Finding effectiveness with wall batt insulation thickness in ceilings (Figure 2)This paper discusses the history of industry collaboration in capstone projects with gaps thatexist in combining industry projects with research.

The curriculum leveraged most of itscoursework (>75%) from the main campus, with a few specialty courses taught by the localdepartment in Galveston. While in principle, this new degree is valuable and addresses a uniquearea of industry need, it has proven difficult to offer in practice.Thus, it was recently decided that rather than try to adapt the main campus’s multidisciplinarydegree to the needs of the Galveston campus, a new approach was needed.

The two program chairs were hired first in early 2020 and2021 for ME and CE respectively and their initial responsibilities were set to supervise the hireof additional program faculty, to help complete the detailed design of the building - primarily thelabs, and to help prepare the detailed design of the curriculum including setting the groundworkto meet ABET and
