Session # 3448 Design, Development, and Delivery of Certificate Programs for Funding Opportunities and Industry Collaboration Carol Considine, Paul Kauffmann Old Dominion University, East Carolina UniversityAbstractMany engineering technology departments have four general areas that are used for evaluation oftenure and promotion. These areas include teaching, research and scholarly activities, service,and other professional activities. Although teaching is the primary mission in most engineeringtechnology programs, external funding as part of the research area is playing a larger

Page 13.1102.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Structuring Team Learning Tasks To Increase Student Engagement and CollaborationIntroductionDesign in industry is usually done in collaborative teams. So, it is only natural that designclasses also use teams. Student teams, however, present a common challenge for design faculty.Every instructor is familiar with “dream” teams that excel at everything, and with “nightmare”teams that fail to complete tasks, degenerate into conflict, or both. Though the benefits oflearning in teams is widely

Sub-Saharan Africa’s research capacity is fragmentized with very little collaboration with neighboring countries in the region.In UNESCO’s first ever report on engineering at the international level, the report indicated aneed to (UNESCO, 2010): • Affirm the role of engineering as the driver of innovation, social and economic development; • Develop better statistics and indicators on engineering (i.e. an individual country’s demand for engineers); • Transform engineering education, curricula and teaching methods to emphasize relevance and a problem-solving approach to engineering; • More effectively innovate and apply engineering to global issues and challenges.Research Objective and
Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering EducationWhile the understanding of active components such as transistors and passive components suchas resistors, inductors and capacitors was useful, the training of these graduates was not basedsolely on this. Training of these graduates was based rather on the modular and system levels.For this, the students were taught the functions and hence applications of the modules and theinterfaces needed to connect them together, taking into account the different standards employedin industry. The students were taught the various types of equipment needed to measure factorssuch as voltage and current levels, and frequency of

While the majority of theseactivities are proprietary and not shared, regional higher education institutions, including NKU Page 22.946.3are perceived to be a hub for exchange of some R&D activities. This in turn is believed to helpfoster research in fields valued by the universities as well as the multi-national companieslocated in the greater Cincinnati area. It is also believed that a closer collaboration between localindustries and universities could create environments suitable for scientists, engineers and othergraduates needed to stay competitive in the global world markets.Working with
