IntroductionThe College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) established the Office of MinorityEngineering Programs (OMEP) at Arizona State University (ASU) in 1993 to aid in therecruitment and retention of underrepresented minority students. Since the underrepresentedminority student population within CEAS (16%) is well below the state minority population(31%), the need for assistance continues. Specifically, the goals of the OMEP are to build acommunity of minority

These include: • Need quick answers to questions (e.g., to get better understanding of requirements). • Make sure everyone has same understanding. • Need documentation of discussions (preferably easy/self-documenting; should not require taking notes). • Secure remote access to systems when troubleshooting. • Need to be able to “read” the customer (interpret body language). • Need to be able to show things. • File compatibility (e.g. CAD files) an issue.Future DirectionsFindings from this survey will inform future design of a collaborative learning

The FutureIt remains to be seen how successful this collaboration will be at achieving the rather ambitiousgoals it has laid out. There are many challenges to be overcome if it is to be successful and tocontinue to expand and evolve over the long term. These challenges include funding issues,personnel resources, a present lack of students, a continuing lack of industry support due to thepresent telecommunications economic environment, issues of national and regional visibility,competition from private businesses, process management issues (NCTT’s responsibility), andlast but most importantly the need for all the academic based players to become

The program ranges from theory to practice, from research in innovationto directed activities aimed at strengthening Swedish innovative product development. PIEp isimplemented through research efforts, educational efforts and development projects. Theresearch efforts are necessary to develop a common platform, to gather existing, and generatenew, knowledge about the innovator, the innovation process and the innovation system. Further,PIEp contributes to technical

The educational programs are aimed at furthering education in engineering and engineering technology by promoting global excellence in engineering and engineering technology, developing future generations of entrepreneurially-minded engineers. This is achieved by partnering and investing in educational initiatives and programs between industry and institu- tions of higher learning.

While manyresearchers’ perceptions of how to improve engineering education stem from traditionalclassroom experiences, a select group of researchers belong to EER-oriented departments, labs,and research centers.

; Hessler, 2001). 2The findings of several studies, new ABET requirements and feedback from industry advisoryboards support these observations and indicate a broad concern that graduating engineers are notprepared to enter the workforce. Faculty members of Mechanical Engineering (ME) andAviation Technology (AT) share some of these concerns, and have discussed ways to approachthese problems. One method originated from a desire among faculty members to develop meansby which to motivate students in a ME senior design course. The AT department was chosen tosimulate a manufacturing division, and the projects were to reflect current aerospace design andmanufacturing processes. Collaborative work between the two groups would be important inorder to
