The engineering/technology field is changing ata staggering rate and in order for educators to keep pace, connections with industry areabsolutely necessary. Industry, also, is looking at ways to stay competitive, not only in thedomestic market, but internationally. There are two very strong arguments for

Session #### Student Learning At The University of Dayton Industrial Assessment Center Rebecca P. Blust, John Kelly Kissock, Ph.D.,PE University of DaytonAbstractThe U.S. Department of Energy, through its Office of Industrial Technologies, funds twenty-sixuniversity-based Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) to train graduate and undergraduateengineering students to provide medium-sized manufacturers with energy, waste, and productivityassessments (http://www.oit.doe.gov/iac/).1 Presently, the IAC Program uses a well-establisheddatabase to track
industry by providing lifelong educational opportunities foremployees, and create a new income for the college. These outcomes have helped to foster an expanding andadvantageous relationship between industry and engineering technology. This paper will outline the necessary stepsto initiate, develop, assess, and gain university approval for these types of collaborative education agreements. Theseagreements between industry and academia can help us to meet today’s demand for rapidly changing technologicaleducational needs.IntroductionTechnology and technology education are rapidly changing fields. It is a significant challenge for programs andhigher education institutions to maintain pace with industry and its needs. As corporate demand for

Session 3248 Merits of Faculty Internship in Industry – A Valuable Experience Ahad S. Nasab and James H. Lorenz Middle Tennessee State UniversityAbstractOne of the more effective ways for the engineering technology programs to keep faculty abreastof the new developments in their respective fields is to instill a faculty internship program.Studies have shown that faculty industrial placement is a component of life-long learning thathelps to maintain and expand technological skills1. The internship program at Middle TennesseeState University (MTSU), fully supported by the industrial
industry pressure for engineeringstudents to increase their application skills. Furthermore, tight budgets and a significant change inuniversity culture provide significant reward opportunities for participating departments andfaculty.The advantages of collaboration are numerous. Engineering students are able to learn aboutmanufacturing, service, and repair issues that enhance their ability to truly design formanufacturing. Technology students are able to better understand design constraints and createimproved manufacturing and repair techniques. The sharing of facilities allows each group tobuild on its strengths and not waste resources on materials or equipment that are redundant.These activities were started by the initiative of interested

Strategically Developed and Shared Technology between Industry and Academia in Engineering Technology Programs Janice Singleton, John C. AndersonAbstractEstablishing a collaborative process between academia and industry is a proven approach tostrengthening engineering technology programs. When faced with thousands of possibletechnological solutions, it becomes impossible for industry to find the most suitable answer totheir specific needs. One way to address this issue is to establish a partnership with academiawherein engineering technology institutions serve as an unbiased third party capable of validatingproposed solutions through research. This paper describes one such collaboration

The aim of this collaboration is to promotebetter understanding in engineering students of the kind of broad human-centered designthinking employed by industrial designers. At the freshman engineering level, industrial designcontent has been included
an engineering technology student. Finally, the writer has recently researched and published articles on the future practices in Engineering Technology. Some of the research included contacts with industrial sources to learn what they recommend – and expect – from our ET programs in the near future. Their recommendations help us to plan and develop our ET programs more effectively for more successful partnerships.

organizations that could benefit byemploying our graduates. The partnership with SIA allowed faculty and staff to interact with theautomotive industry; however, an advisory board comprised of representatives from business andindustry representing a cross-section of the community would enhance communication andprovide diverse perspectives. These are crucial ingredients needed to successfully achieve theSOT at Lafayette goals. Interaction with an IAB would allow SOT at Lafayette to customizedegree programs to meet community needs.
