Finally, influences to adopt social media technologiesfurther drove development of more features that promote collaborative relationshipsbetween students, teachers, and industry. Examples of how social media concepts plan tobe used used in the careerME.org website called my.careerme, are also explored.1. Introduction – How to Address a NeedWhen the project conceptualization process started in early summer 2008 for the Societyof Manufacturing Engineers (SME) – Education Foundation1, the idea was to create aweb portal to show high school and college students, primarily between grades 11-14,that there are and will continue to be lucrative, high paying jobs in manufacturing;despite
, microfluidics, and bacterial spore viability. In 2009, he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor. Prof. Yung is not just a distinguished academic but a visionary biomedical engineer. He is known for fostering expansive collaborations that bridge the gaps between academia, industry, hospitals, and communities on a grand scale. His intrigue lies at the intersection of microbes and engineering tools, particularly on a micro- and nano-scale. He is actively pioneering techniques to evaluate the resilience of superbugs and derive energy from extremophiles, merging electrochemical and optical techniques with MEMS devices. Over the past 12 years, he has
recast into what is intended to be a more grass-rootsmember-driven collaborative. The prime exception, with no heritage in the associations of old,is a Manufacturing Education and Research Community (MER). The communities are organized into ‘technical groups’, which are positioned as the grass-roots source of initiatives to serve member interests. Within the MER, one of the technicalgroups is focused on Graduate Studies in Manufacturing (GSM). The technical group wasfounded with the mission of promoting “… excellence in development and delivery of industry-relevant, technologically-advanced post-baccalaureate education in manufacturing engineeringand technology.” This mission is to be fulfilled through five objectives
manufacturing topics for returning industry professionals. As a part ofshort courses and research, the university will do a review of AI and DT enabled models in MetalAdditive Manufacturing. The university are partnered with local companies, community collegesand other higher education to collaborate on state-of-the-art demonstration facilities that willallow the University Campus partnership to showcase, train, and consult in these Industry 4.0technologies. The project goal strives to create a pipeline of the next generation workforce that isempowered with the skills to merge additive manufacturing with DT & AI. The first step forachieving this is to conduct industry-needs analyses in metal additive manufacturing viaorganization of annual
Engineering Programs at the State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz. He received his B.S. from National Tsing-Hua Univer- sity in Taiwan in 1990 and M.S. and Eng.Sci.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Columbia University in 1995 and 1997, respectively. Subsequently he joined IBM Microelectronics as an R&D sci- entist/engineer for a 21-year career in the microelectronics industry to develop advanced semiconductor technologies. He joined SUNY New Paltz in 2018 with expertise in materials science and solid mechan- ics, as well as research interests in stress-induced phenomena in engineering materials, microelectronics reliability and additive manufacturing of metals. He has over 50 technical

Employers who create internshipprograms get the benefit of the time and efforts of young people eager to learn the

Thirdly, opportunities for publication and participation in internationalsymposiums allow them to showcase their work on a global platform. Fourthly, exploration andexchange opportunities with like-minded students, academics, and industry professionals overseasbroaden their perspectives and foster collaboration on an international scale. Lastly, specializedtraining and workshops tailored to their project needs enhance their skills and project outcomes.Additionally, individual leaders gain opportunities for personal growth. Engaging in activities suchas publishing technical works and public speaking in international
STEM fields [1-4].Purdue University Northwest (PNW) has developed a thriving STEM initiative that supportsretention and recruitment without being an actual R&R activity. The STEM on the Road (SotR)project involves monthly peer-to-peer outreach events in which university students visit middleschools and high schools. While there, they share their engineering competition vehicles orscience research and demonstrations with interested students. The PNW students also talk abouthow they transitioned from high school to college at these events, what it is like being a collegestudent, and how they were able to get involved in projects as undergraduates.

different projectwas identified two weeks before the start of PEDE. In other cases, projects that appeared to befocused at the beginning of PEDE experienced changes during the nine-month time period becauseof changing business conditions and marketing inputs. Although these changes may appeardisruptive, they were viewed as positive because they provide the students with the additionalexperience that there is more to a design project than just doing the design itself.To internationalize PEDE, a pilot project, named Virtual International Design (VID) was alsodeveloped in collaboration with the Universite de Provence and Hon Industries. The goals of thisPEDE/VID project were to gain an understanding and appreciation of engineering design practicesin
profile or background traditional for or even expected by graduate admissions. Both recruiters and those involved in admissions should be encouraged to look at student candidates more holistically, rather than focusing just on GRE scores or traditional engineering undergraduate programs. Interdisciplinary programs within graduate schools, including those that incorporate a global focus or enhance students’ employability, also may draw more graduate students and women graduate students in particular. Building and growing interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary programs may also enhance industry collaboration and funding opportunities for students and colleges. ≠ Enhance industry collaboration and
of collaborators from inclusive multiple sectorsincluding business, industry, and academia [2], [7], [8].Although the engineering discipline has historically focused on problem identification and problem-solving strategies, the holistic integration of both has been less of an emphasis [1]. Historically,siloed solutions to large-scale problems have been favored as part of the problem-solvingcharacteristics of the engineering professional; this heavily downplayed the potential for problemidentification that those professionals are also able to contribute to their organizations as theproblems have been handed down by previous observations or experiences [2], [7]. In fact,traditional business and industry organizations have not favored

Thismodel relies heavily on thorough documentation by the team and cohesive project management bythe MEng students. This handoff accurately models industry workflow and structure [8], [9].Communication, teamwork, documentation, and project onboarding are all essential skills thatstudents gain in this process.

. Instead, we have experimentedwith speaking, writing, and teamwork in several courses as figures 2 and 3 indicate.iii I am omitting a deep discussion of ethics for the purpose of this paper. The integration of ethics instruction is in itsformative stages and we have developed a junior level course that was collaboratively created by both engineeringand philosophy faculty. This course is team taught, and relies heavily on guest speakers from industry to share their Page 9.940.5experiences and provide case studies. As a result, my focus is on the communication skills and teamwork aspects ofthis project. Proceedings of

Not only government-industry-university partnership is the only option, but also collaborations between academicinstitutions are indispensable, if we are to answer the call of duty.Bibliography 1.

while promoting personal and professional development. Effective teams are able toenrich the strengths of each team member. Although there are different ways to measure teameffectiveness, individual team members’ perceptions can portray their direct experiences. Higherteam effectiveness ratings from team members indicate enhanced team collaboration, strongerresilience when facing setbacks, and high levels of team performance. After reviewing andassessing team effectiveness literature from different industries, this study identified factors vitalto measure construction teams' perceptions. A pilot team effectiveness survey was developed, anda pilot analysis was conducted to understand the overlaps between these factors. Professionalsfrom 36
