customers’ requirements. Direct interaction with the customergives engineering students a more realistic experience of design, and better preparation for theirprofessional careers. However, as Christianson and Rohrbach1 point out, the customers’consideration may be subtle and may require ongoing dialogue and questioning between thestudent designers and the client/customer. Industry has been critical of engineering educationthat does not produce graduates who are sufficiently knowledgeable about how design ispracticed in industry or who are able to deal with open-ended problems.8 Interacting with realclients is a good way to enhance ties between industry and academia. Another method toenhance industrial ties is the use of student portfolios.2, 5Much

It resulted from ajoint effort by MTU, Wayne State University and BASF as a part of an NSF grant. This effortalso resulted in the textbook, Chemical Process Safety: Fundamentals with Applications (Crowland Louvar, 1990); the videotape series, “Safety In The Chemical Process Industries” (Crowland Louvar, 1989); and a study guide for the videotapes, “Safety In The Chemical ProcessIndustries - Study Guide” (Crowl et al., 1988). Although these three items were developed atWayne State University, the chemical engineering faculty at MTU played a collaborative role intheir development and tested them in the classroom. The

. Within the undergraduate engineering curriculum at the institution, generativeAI-related courses primarily emphasize theories related to natural language processing,machine learning, and language models. However, they often lack actual hands-on experiencein using contemporary tools and application programming interfaces (APIs) to build practicalAI solutions for solving real-life problems. Such solutions often require cross-disciplinarycollaboration with academic partners and industrial collaborators, who may contributedomain expertise and training data in their specific field of generative AI application.To address this gap in the curriculum, we propose a framework to guide students through astructured three-stage progression, emphasizing

communications assignments. Therefore, the practice of written assessment canresult in less communicative practice for the students. Even more importantly, research has shownthat students often do not profit from written comments. They do not know how to use thecomments to improve their writing, have difficulty interpreting the comments, and in many casesdo not even read them (Bardine 1999, Elbow 1997, Hodges 1997). The problem appears evenmore serious when we consider that in engineering industry workplaces collaborative writing isthe norm, i.e. comments on papers and presentations are given with the expectation that thewriters or presenters will consider the comments and modify their communications accordingly

They have used the framework of a simulated focus groupincorporated as part of a virtual internship and epistemic game Nephrotex to introduce studentdesigners to “customer voice.” They propose that increased customer exposure should lead to de-creased product cost without a loss in product quality.
