An outline of this plan and its rationale along withexpected program outcomes are described in this paper. The experience in the first year of thisplan, including design of the interface electronics, implementation of the first two laboratoryprojects, and interactions with applications engineers, are also discussed.IntroductionAs an increasing number of transistors continue to be

School and Work: A New Stance in the Debate about Engineering Graduates’ Preparedness for Career Success Logan A. Perry, Jeremi S. LondonAbstractThe preparation of engineering graduates for industry careers has been discussed in the engineeringeducation literature for decades. Shifting from claims that students need more practical knowledgeto arguments for a broader, theory-based education, critiques regarding what type of curriculum isbetter at preparing students for work have fluctuated back and forth for over a century. Despitethis lack of consensus, engineering graduates continue to be hired in industry, with employmentopportunities increasing in recent years. This begs the question: are students truly

Industry/Academia IntersectionsAbstractThis theoretically-grounded research paper presents a study out of the University of ColoradoBoulder focused on mapping the use of industry-based problems and examples across theundergraduate core curriculum in Mechanical Engineering. The study uses a material-semioticapproach based on actor-network theory (ANT), which focuses on the interactions betweenpeople, things, and ideas within a constantly shifting network. That approach is used to study theintersections between students’ network of academic practice and the network of industry-basedpractice that they are preparing to enter. Specifically, it looks at how industry-based problemsand examples are represented in material aspects of students’ academic

To extract competencies for entry-level AM rural jobs, we used adeductive approach with multiple methods.

Due to recent changes relatedto trends in the global market, both business and industry now need work-ready engineers whocan function immediately in a complex engineering social environment1. Extended trainingperiods for newly hired engineers are not broadly available anymore, especially in smaller, mid-sized companies. New hires must contribute to the bottom line immediately.

That is, engineers must be equipped with the ability toperform a specific task, action or function successfully. These competencies are the result of integrativelearning experiences in which skills, abilities and knowledge interact to form bundles that have currencyin relation to the task for which they are assembled. 1Internships and co-op are two approaches widely used by companies to attract and train engineeringstudents for the work environment, sometimes

Students are invited to participate in the ESAprior to their arrival on campus. Those who accept the invitation are then offered a variety ofsupport activities targeted primarily at building mathematics skills, study skills, and academiccapital. It is expected that these activities will assist in the retention of these students inengineering during the critical first two years of intense preparation for their engineering
