ABET accreditation in Construction Management. The Accreditation Board forEngineering & Technology (ABET) requires that both Technology and Engineering programsincorporate standards and other realistic constraints into their educational programs. The designprocess for the Transitional Disaster Shelter prototype shelters included not only standards, butalso brought economic, environmental, manufacturing, ethics, safety, health, social, teamwork,and marketing issues along with it. It is hard to imagine a better way to expose students to thebroad range of issues they will face during their careers.Industry Collaboration and ResearchThe 2014 and 2015 Transitional Disaster Shelter competition helped establish and expandseveral industry
collaboration involves the exchange of resources to strengthen thereciprocal relationship and play a crucial role in addressing social issues. The institutions alsounderstand the value of the community work that provides experience for the students to gainempirical knowledge and civic value. Thus, many programs center engagement and outreach asan educational strategy.BackgroundThe author’s institution, Farmingdale State College, State University of New York, has been arecipient of Carnegie Community Engagement Classification.

otherdisciplines are often afraid to receive and give criticism of their own and their peers' work.This paper will introduce the challenges of creating a product within a multi-disciplinary groupin the academic environment. Exposing classmates and colleagues to the industrial designproblem solving process provided the opportunity for learners to collaborate with their peersoutside their comfort zone. While challenges are always present in working within a multi-disciplinary environment, individuals focused toward a common goal can come together tocreate a viable sustainable product.The consensus of students, faculty and administrators is that introducing a multi-disciplinarylearning model provides learners with deeper and broader perspectives in meeting

A multipurpose laboratory equipped with fluidprocess, sensors, data acquisition system, and application programs is being developed. Aseries of laboratory practices based on use of fluid mechanics principles in energyefficient industrial applications provide students a strong foundation of the subject. Laterin the senior level engineering design classes, these learnings are utilized to practiceinnovative design of energy efficient products. Industrial collaboration is established toensure student exposure to realistic energy efficient products and practices throughcapstone design projects and undergraduate research.1.

validation of implemented software-based tools inorder to consider them useful ones.MethodologyThis project is a collaboration between our College and industry (DaimlerChrysler). The mainobjective of the collaboration was the development of a CAD-based tool for the routing offlexible components, specifically brake hoses. As one of the important steps in such developmentand implementation, a validation phase needed to be carried out. Given the scope of the specifictask, and the global objective for the project, it was decided that this would make a wonderfulsenior design project. When this project was presented to the senior group, it resulted veryattractive to them because they would be working on an industry-sponsored project, because ithad design
curriculum was designed through several iterative meetings with industry.The industry advisors identified the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) that would help themost with the transition from student to professional. These KSAs led directly to the design ofthe Hatchery Unit (HU) courses. Forty professionals from twelve companies have participated inthe design and delivery of HU courses. The academic-industry collaboration has been critical ingetting acceptance from faculty and students.To date, we have offered 57 CS-HU sections with 1591 students (non-unique) enrolled in thesecourses. The five required CS-HU courses are Foundational Values (14 sections, 473 students),Navigating Computer Systems (12 sections, 354 students), Intro to

Students attending IRE experience an immersive learning style (iLRN). iLRN is a model inwhich students are surrounded by engineering in all aspects of their education. Students’ work closely with eachother, faculty, and industry to practice design and gain technical and professional skills. This allows students topractice engineering by doing engineering. IRE’s style of learning is self-motivated learning where students designtheir own paths for gaining technical knowledge. Each student works with a faculty guide to develop his or her ownmethods for learning. By not having the external constraint of lecture style

model incorporates key elements that haveproven to be important to the success of the program. The emphasis on collaborative learningbetween faculty members, students, and corporate guest lecturers has enriched enrich thelearning experience. Real world anecdotes, examples, and case studies have added credibility tothe theoretical principles and concepts and added perspective on their applicability. Thecredibility of the program is built on the mutual respect of the three constituent partners withrespect to real-world experience. Thus, a key success factor has been that all faculty membershave significant industrial management experience.A second element of this model is the opportunity for faculty to work with corporate partners onsolving

Enhanced capability with research & development. They will: ≠ become familiar with research and experimental design sufficient to apply it to real world problems ≠ be able to apply design and development procedures to real world problems ≠ demonstrate the necessary professional, research and development skills common to industrial technology disciplines, as evidenced by successful completion of either a thesis or a directed project, that are required for successful
students at their respectivecolleges. By having our own equipment, we would not have to worry about the time difference inclass schedules between the CCs and ASU. We hope to interact with the STEM and engineeringclubs at the CCs.We hope to be able to continue the STEP program, with the addition of two additional CCs, withpassionate, capable engineering professors.

These experiences can include capstone projects, internships, or industry collaborations. • Ethical Training: Given the ethical considerations in generative AI projects, educators should incorporate ethical discussions and training into project management courses, emphasizing the importance of responsible AI development. • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Promote interdisciplinary collaboration within the engineering curriculum.

sporting events seem to have the best success in engaging students.The learning comes from real-world interactive, hands-on type activities. Additionally, the needfor educators is paramount and comes in the forms of professional educators and industrymentors.
