But, we are beginning to see the payoff of the investment. Hereare some of the issues that we have dealt with. We believe that these issues may be universal formost partnerships; however, we cannot prove it just yet. We have learned issues from threedifferent perspectives: projects, students, and faculty.Projects are the basis of this model. Projects are intended to give industry a reason to pay and beinvolved, students a vehicle to learn, and the faculty the means to expand personal experiences.Initially, the industry partner in collaboration with the involved faculty must scope projects

This is because the global nature of high technology industry has evolved from being anassociation of production facilities in countries around the world to being a true interactivedevelopmental collaboration of individuals around the world on a daily basis. The interactionsbetween these individuals in a global effort are both creative in the direct developmental sense, aswell as strategic in providing critical local country perspectives in the product definition andmarketing stages.The

To address the needs of Industry 4.0 workforce, companies need to retain,retool of the existing skilled workforce, and recruit a new one, possibly from the high schoolranks as they enter the engineering education. Training is required anywhere from executives’need of understanding the nature and power of Industry 4.0, to preparing engineers who designand help build, and technicians who build and maintain the
Session 2559 Abstract: Simulating Industry in the Classroom Joel Weinstein Northeastern UniversityOverview:One of the underlying themes that distinguishes engineering technology from other technicaldisciplines is the real-world industrial nature and influence over the entire educationalexperience. While co-op and vacation work activities certainly help to reinforce the industrial“flavor,” they are not part of the daily academic regimen.To provide the industrial experience in classroom activities, we have developed a softwareproject-based course that simulates industry
energy being used real-time. This project wasdisplayed in the recent UG Symposium and reviewed by the Provost who was very pleased withthe results.We can effectively meet the needs of student and industry by providing the engineeringtechnology student with a comprehensive design experience that closely matches thatencountered by professional design engineers. We can seek to develop the communication andteaming skills that are an inherent and vital part of design activity and address the need topromote the creative capabilities of the entering student 3.Bibliography 1.

an extended visit to anotheracademic institution or a government laboratory. The intent is often to collaborate with a hostresearcher or team, to utilize specialized facilities, or perhaps to develop a new research interest.If the visit is funded, it is usually a grant and the researcher has extensive latitude in whatactivities to pursue. Publication of research is a secondary goal, and involvement of graduatestudents is generally not considered. In an early section of this paper, we discuss the history andpurposes of sabbatical leaves.The author participated in three sabbatical leaves with industry during the 21 years 1990-2010:the first two for an entire academic year (9 months) with half salary and half benefits paid by thecompany, and
Outcome 5 is “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members togetherprovide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives.” Instructors should look for opportunities for group projects so students willbecome more familiar with working on teams. Another important element of industry teams isthat employees rarely get to decide what teams they will work on. Teams are normally selectedby management. At least some student teams should be determined by instructors rather thanletting students always select their friends to be on their school project teams.Newer Graduate PerspectiveAn aspect new engineers will have to accept when they graduate from college is that in

Through the exercise, topics typicallynot covered in a traditional classical heat transfer course were discussed, and enhancements instudents’ learning of the course were measured using an evaluation tool specifically designed tothis purpose. Results indicated that students reacted very positively to inviting industrial adjunctfaculty. In addition, the qualitative perception of the authors is that students were more engagedin this interactive method than in the traditional method of teaching.

West Oregon State UniversityIntroduction At the beginning of this decade, the structure of engineering curricula at most colleges anduniversities had existed since the early 1950’s, and reflected an emphasis on a solid foundation inmath, science, and engineering science as expressed in the Grinter Report of 19551. Therequirements for accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) reinforced this traditional structure of the

organisms flourish together. This ideology is possiblethrough the creation of technical solutions by engineering programs which have incorporated thiscurrent issue within its curricula. By representing both industrial and environmental ideals,classroom curricula can address various obstacles to bridge these polar entities. Students canthen develop creative methods in the laboratory with special research projects. Laboratoryresearch reinforces learning through hands-on application of classroom principles, while alsoproviding a significant atmosphere for technical collaboration with industrial contacts.A strengthened infrastructure of international environmental regulation for industry is necessaryfor maintaining a healthy balance in the relationship
requirements remainedrelatively stable. We then summarize the lessons learned from these revisions and talk about howwe plan to manage changes in the future. Finally, we offer suggestions on how others might goabout industrializing their own software development projects.IntroductionIndustry and academic professionals continue to call for more collaboration in Computer Scienceand Information Technology education [1]. Project-Based Learning (PBL) [2] and ActiveLearning [3] are key instructional approaches that benefit from a strong industry connection. Inthis paper, we talk about our experience in injecting industry practice into the core of the project-based course: the project itself.One of the authors of this paper is a university professor; the
