We believe that students’ enthusiasm for the course resultsfrom both the uniquely collaborative design of this class and the real world application of all ofthe material provided in this innovative course.1. IntroductionMany of today’s engineering graduates lack the necessary skills to become contributing membersin an industrial team environment immediately upon graduation. Most engineering schools haveconcentrated their efforts in preparing engineers to go to graduate school, or have simplyneglected the more practical aspects of the profession, preferring to let industry train theirengineers through co-op or on site training programs

The development of supra-national economic regions with stronginternal ties is a reality of the present days and introduces a new vision for humanresource development, particularly in the area of engineering. In this paper we discussthe competencies associated with engineers who pursue local development as aprofessional task, and by doing so contribute to an increase of the overall regionalcompetitiveness. Several stakeholders of the process of creating a new breed ofprofessional engineer are presented, starting with the students and the schools ofengineering, followed by the industries, the professional organizations, accreditationbodies and the governments.This paper presents efforts being developed by a set of professionals

Driven by time-to-market the students with modeling Page 5.165.4agility, these curricular advances are demanding integrated technologies and processesthat speed every aspect of product engineering and manufacturing, without compromisingquality or innovation. It was with these goals in mind that advanced integrated CADsystems were developed for the broadest and strongest software suite in the industry forcomplete product development and come to universities for their integration capabilities.Design, product engineering and manufacturing are collaborative in efforts and requiremuch cross-curricular
Advanced Technological Education (ATE)program and the Department of Energy (DOE) have recently started to jointly request proposalsin this area. This type of funding will be necessary to allow the collaborations and industry andacademia interaction that is required to determine the best direction forward.It has been said that the last century was the century of the invention of electronics devices. Thiscentury will focus on the creation of intelligent systems (enabled by electronic devices and othernew technologies like nanotechnology, micro-electro-mechanical systems [MEMS], photonics,biophotonics, etc) that will be further facilitated by a ubiquitous Internet to create a type of“sensing skin” within our environment to potentially improve every

Wealso describe how fluency in C affords the practicing engineer a range of programming skills thatare easily extendable.We further discuss the benefits of possessing fundamental programming knowledge for thepracticing engineer in industry. The majority of our graduates are tasked with writing programsin a variety of programming languages and environments at some point in their careers. Forexample, mechanical engineers often use MATLAB for modeling and analysis while
industry professionals.• Several industries have become users of some of the modules and others have had special Page 3.418.7 modules designed for their particular needs using the pedagogy developed by the NCE/AME.Tools For The Future ModuleAn important example of industry involvement in learning module development is the creationof a unique course called Tools for the Future. The course is designed to increase the ability ofindustry associates at all levels to collaborate, cooperate, and communicate to solve toughproblems on the job. The Dayton Tooling and Machining Association worked with the staff ofthe AIM Center to develop a 3-hour per

The collaboration of faculty and students with local institutions such as K-12 schools and museums provides the engineering students with valuable insights into the relations between technology and society. Moreover, the publicity for such efforts is valuable to universities in marketing themselves among local youth and attracting talented local youth to pursue their engineering programs.9. Some of the more enterprising student projects can be used to establish collaboration with local industry in the form of student internships. They can also be used in offering short-term and online workshops to local and regional engineers, thereby creating additional finances for the department to improve its curricular

Rutgers Universityrecognized this course in 2000 with its award for Excellence in Academic Creativity andInnovation.IntroductionIn business, one of the keys to success is customer satisfaction. In academia, students arecustomers of the institution for which they are attending. Common in academia is the use ofcourse evaluations to assess the value of a course and its impact on the student, the customer.Unfortunately, these do not equate the value of personal growth to the student and do not trulyassociate the full impact of a course.

Collaboration platforms: Explore the potential of collaborative VR platforms where students can work together on projects in a virtual environment. AI integration: Further explore the role of AI in personalized learning experiences and real-time feedback mechanisms within VT platforms.Future research is also needed to see how students and the industry respond to the product of theirprojects. A questionnaire will be sent out to students and the industry regarding their performance,how they utilized the VT in their project, and lessons learned after their capstone project.By
pedagogy on interdisciplinary skills for seniors in all majors except industrial engineers. Increasing content that requires students to think beyond the scope of their disciplines could have a positive influence on interdisciplinary skill development in these programs. It is important to recognize the intentionality of the curricular content as shown by this study of the development of interdisciplinary skills. Simply having students work in groups without a clearly defined objective of searching for connections across content area boundaries, for example, may not produce the desired interdisciplinary skill development.5. For biomedical/bioengineers and civil engineers, active/collaborative learning is positively associated with
developing new data science skills throughout their careers, even when they cannot commit to a full degree program. This is important for veterans who may not have the time or resources to pursue a traditional Data Science, Analytics or Artificial Intelligence related degree program, but still want to stay current in their field. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Conduct a needs Determine the Choose appropriate Develop assessment Collaborate with Evaluate and assessment learning outcomes. delivery methods strategies industry partners refine FIGURE 1: Design process of developing
