Themain lesson learnt in this virtual collaboration was the value of open and transparentcommunication and sharing of information. We established and articulated a clear set of policieson such things as a metadata schema and resource selection criteria. We maintained dynamiccommunication network to resolve issues as they arose. Some face-to-face meetings wereessential. Equally important was the need to keep the library-based developers of the gateway intouch with the real information gathering needs and expectation of the engineering usercommunity.

The effectiveness of theimplementation of this approach has yet to be determined, as it has only recently been putinto place, but a survey gauging students’ knowledge and interest in the steel industrywas given at the beginning of the course and was followed by a second survey, bothaimed to help measure the success of the new teaching tools. Through accumulation ofthese surveys over a span of time, the success of these methods will be determined.

thematic qualitative analysis ofinterviews from seven faculty members at two different institutions, representing three ITprograms. The research methodology and validity is discussed in the report.IntroductionInformation technology is a rapidly changing field encompassing many disciplines related tocomputing. In the past decade a university-level academic discipline, also somewhatambiguously called Information Technology (IT), has emerged. The academic discipline of ITfaces a number of challenges, including a shortage of educational academic resources; a recentlyemerged program definition; a very rapidly changing, complex technical discipline; instructionaldesigners with little training in instructional design; and an academic system that fails to

Some populareducational equipment, such as drones series, 3D printing series, IoT (Internet of Things)system, robot series, VR series, etc., are utilized for STIE in QAII, and most of them areoriginally developed as industrial application. There are four rules to convert the industrialproducts to STIE application: 1.
