collaborative effort between two courses. The procedure outlined in this paperinvolves two concurrent courses from different programs of engineering forming teams with jointlabs to complete a full spectrum design and manufacturing project.Addressing Industry NeedsDue to the leaps and bounds in technology development especially those involving electronics andmechanical systems and appropriate manufacturing processes, industries need engineers who haveworking knowledge of multi-disciplinary topics. Due to keen competition, industries need tostreamline design, planning, and manufacturing lead times. Thus they need strong team workerswho can engage in processes producing the highest quality products, at the lowest cost, in theleast amount of time.In order

learned several things that will inform thecurriculum and its delivery both during the pandemic and into the future. 1) Onlinecommunication tools and collaborative software are essential for community building. Theyallow more student-to-student, student-to-faculty, student-to-industry interactions; they reducethe time commitment and increase the participation of industry volunteers and result in bettercommunity engagement. Without the necessity created by the pandemic, the department wouldhave underestimated the value of these tools. 2) Hands-on experiences in remote learning can becreated with sufficient effort and planning. For many courses, modern collaboration andsimulation tools make it possible to provide meaningful hands-on experiences
how to get our students from here to there. A spirit of exploration, flexibility,innovation and experimentation must become a natural part of the learning process, and thedelivery of education in general must be nimble enough to evolve as technology evolves.”5The curriculum redesign, as deployed, aligns well with the above findings in that there is a heavyfocus on cross-disciplinary collaborative problem-solving in all three first-year courses as well asa vision to continue the evolution going forward to remain aligned with program and industryneeds.In an effort to identify those industry needs, an industry advisory group of engaged alumni isregularly queried, typically informally, regarding the needs they foresee as well as theirobservations

Spring 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 7-8, 2017 MSUThis project was a genuine inter-disciplinary Engineering and Arts collaboration. TheIlluminated Umbrella product and the three best graphic-identities were featured in the RVCCArt Gallery as part of the Independent Study Students Exhibition from January 23rd to February10th, 2017.The motivation and goal of the project was to expose the Engineering Team early in theiracademic careers and under “authentic engineering” conditions, to vital skills and practices useddaily in industry. The practical objective was to give students authentic hands-on productdevelopment and project execution experience to
industry collaborations. Grade-level teams, content teams, high school, college, andindustry teams all meet regularly to ensure and reinforce connections. This relationship with thecollege and industry partners is crucial as it guides curriculum for the teachers and acts as amotivator for the students.There are also new and different staffing challenges in the schools to support students in P-TECH programs. Such challenges include the establishment of study groups and atutoring/writing center, academic advisory programs, and required office hours. Larger schoolsmay also feel the need to hire a full-time college liaison since by year five the cohort hascompleted all high school requirements and are enrolled in college full-time.

sustainability, as students exhibited a strong understanding of wasteprevention, renewable energy, stakeholder engagement, and human health protection. However,weaknesses were identified in areas requiring advanced analytical skills and economicsustainability, such as Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Environmental Assessment and Impact (EAI),system analysis, and cost-benefit analysis. These gaps suggest the need for a more comprehensiveintegration of advanced sustainability methodologies and economic principles into the curriculum.The study recommends enhancing sustainability education through experiential learning,interdisciplinary collaboration, and industry exposure to equip students with a well-rounded skillset for addressing global sustainability

As their skills developed, the teams’ overall performanceimproved, resulting in higher productivity and more equitable contributions across all teams.Furthermore, workload equity fostered an improved sense of belonging within the department'sculture, reinforcing collaboration and inclusivity. This cultural shift ultimately reflects thebroader positive impact of Agile methods across various industries, driving both individual andcollective growth. By examining four teams, we can assess how Scrum influences facultymembers' and students' professional development and empowerment, potentially leading to amore dynamic and collaborative academic environment. Finally, by implementing Scrum,academic teams

IntroductionSeveral universities in U.S. already offer engineering courses through the World Wide Web andsatellite broadcasts. These courses are beginning to replace or supplement traditional classroominstruction with convenient, self-paced distance education, and reach a larger student body acrossU.S. Courses offered through satellite broadcasts are not very much different from classroominstruction, and therefore, require instructors to make minor changes in their course design to

There are many forms of undergraduate research experiences, but a common method is for astudent to work closely with a teacher in research. Students often find these hands-on experiences veryuseful and learn to work in teams, manage projects, and communication skills. In the scope of thiswork-in-progress study, our program, originally rooted in engineering, now draws one-quarter of itsstudents from departments outside the College of Engineering. The program objective is to offer studentsearly in their programs hands-on project experiences and enhance their collaboration skills across diversedisciplines and projects. Our study centers on an innovative, faculty-led

The Infinity Project isa year-long engineering curriculum for high school students that provides schools with acomplete turnkey solution. The Gender Parity Initiative seeks to reach gender parity in theundergraduate engineering population through institutional transformation. Filling the shortageof tomorrow’s engineers requires a
