A senior design project cooperated with a local company involved voltage as highas 2.3 kV is described to enhance their experience with industrial level power systems. All of theStudents working in the project got a taste of what a power engineer deals with every day. Theseskills will be advantageous in the job market and prepare them to be successful in their futureworking field. 1. IntroductionA power system is a network of electrical components used to generate, transmit, distribute andconsume electric power. The growing demand of electrical energy from

and equipment. As noted by Forest, et. al., prototyping hasboth cognitive and practical benefits. Cognitively, it has been shown to help designers makedesigns of higher quality. In a practical sense, which translates directly to industry employability,prototyping and physical modeling can help minimize risk, by allowing designers to “iterate andimprove upon their designs in an informed way while minimizing costs associated with productdevelopment and production” (2014, p. 5).Many of the makerspaces described offer opportunities for both education and entrepreneurship.For instance, these spaces will offer support for curricula and student projects, but also offerspace and opportunities for extracurricular learning and Making.

The student worked for a design and manufacturingcompany in the same metropolitan area as the university. The interaction of co-opand curricular educational experiences of the student is emphasized.The First Co-op PeriodCompleting an engineering curriculum, such as Mechanical Engineering, is nosimple journey. The subject matter is often complicated and intense. The workload can be overwhelming. A co-op program helps facilitate the learning processand allows the student to expand professional horizons as a developing engineer.Because of this, many universities today are implementing a co-op

As Pirralha et al. (2009) explain, “the CV isa relatively easy document to get, displays an extended amount of information that would take along time and money to gather otherwise and allows the return to the original source wheneverrequired” (p. 4) 17. Through this relatively unobtrusive method, a plethora of longitudinal careeranalyses might be performed.

Polytechnics and Colleges of Advanced Technologymainly consist of placements exceeding thirty-six weeks duration, and the tendency is for thisperiod to lengthen. Ryan et al.27 found little rationale in the literature for choosing a singleperiod of work experience that extended from six months to one year (or longer). Wright29 hasargued that the longer placements allow students to see a project, such as an engineering orproduct development project, through all its stages and to participate in the full range oforganizational and work life experiences.SurveyA survey was designed to gauge the success of the recently established formal learning outcomesby assessing student and alumni perceptions of the effect that co-op had on the following: theiracademic

By interviewing 17 newly hired engineers, Korte, Sheppard and Jordan (2008) identified four subthemes describing the problem solving process in engineering workplace: “organize, define, and understand a problem; gather, analyze, and interpret data; document and present the results; and project-manage the overall problem- solving process”6(p. 6).
