conduct summerschools, provide internship positions, organize conferences and exhibitions for (under-)graduate students. An example of a successful cooperation might be the SAP universityalliance program, internship and graduate fellowship programs from Intel or scholarships fromMicrosoft Corporation.However, universities and industry - during their cooperation - face a number of problemsmostly caused by the difference in culture and needs of both parties (Cerych and Frost-Smith1985; Swain 2009). Different studies tried to address the problem by researching successfactors (Bruneel et al. 2010; Swain 2009; Thune 2011), intentions for interaction and ways ofestablishing a cooperation. However little was done in describing the process carrying out
federal support towards nanotechnology research and developmentsince 2001.1 In the last 20 years, research and development in this space has led to a number ofrevolutions in electronics, photovoltaics, manufacturing, medicine and much more. One of theprimary goals of this federal funding, as described by the inter-governmental body, theCommittee on Technology Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology(NSET), has been to develop educational resources that will ultimately lead to a skilledworkforce who will continually advance the state of the art of nanotechnology.This study explores the impact of one summer’s implementation of an NSF-funded ResearchExperiences for Teachers professional development K-12 program designed towards
available inhibitors of the sonic hedgehog signal transduction pathway.

theseinstitutions work toward continuity and consistency in the knowledge, skills, and abilities (i.e.,competencies) that graduates gain for the workforce. While many institutions have employeradvisors, few compare these stakeholders’ feedback to mandated state curriculum content toactual classroom content. Guided by the research question “to what degree does the Florida AMCurriculum Frameworks reflect the needs of AM employers,” we compared the State of Florida’smandated AM two-year program curriculum to AM employer demands expressed in jobpostings. Unlike traditional alignment research, which is conducted from the perspective ofpostsecondary institutions and written with the assumption that two-year programs teach whatemployers want, in this study, we

RoboSantral is outfitted with a friendly face similar to Herbie. Along a similar line,Saad et al.2 study the effectiveness of a robot used to greet people entering a campus and theimpact of deliberate cues for human-robot interaction. Ni et al.3 describe a multi-year projectthat is a robot tour guide and the project itself provides research opportunities forundergraduates; the robot itself though is not autonomous. TritonBot4 is an indoor interactiverobot that also uses the ROS navigation stack similar to Herbie, but functions in an indoorenvironment.Regarding robots and interactions through social

The book was also to serve as a resource for those pursuingadvanced graduate studies and research but possessing limited background knowledge inmaterials processing. It was, however, not meant to substitute a good undergraduate textbook,but rather serve as an essential accompaniment to it for in-depth and integrated treatment ofselected materials processing topics. The book was not designed to develop the content in anevolutionary fashion that is normally needed to establish the foundation of an undergraduatecourse. It also did not include collections of solved examples and exercise problems; this was notsomething done on purpose or by designix but because the authors
years, universities are looking toimprove their retention and completion rates and the first two years of study are playing a big rolein these two parameters. In addition, the average number of new enrollments in undergraduate EEprograms is flat or increased slowly nationwide, while the same number for the other programsincreased [1]. On the other hand, many of the EE employers are looking only for highly skilledworkers or the students with a graduate degree. Getting graduate degree will result in more yearsof study to get hired in Electrical Engineering.The previous course plan in the EE program at California State University San Marcos was startingwith math, science, and general study courses. Then the plan proceeds into basic circuit theory

the current study.Sommers’ four-year study of student writers from across the disciplines notes that “students whomake the greatest gains as writers throughout college (1) initially accept their status as novicesand (2) see in writing a larger purpose than fulfilling an assignment” (p. 124). Carroll suggeststhat writing proficiency develops throughout the course of a student’s academic career asstudents assume new tasks—new roles—as writers, and not in a single freshman coursesequence. Sternglass’ study of at-risk students enrolled at CCNY, with its provocativeframework of richly detailed case studies, offers a strong example in qualitative methodology.These researchers’ findings are intriguing—in them it is possible to see the limits of

[14]. The RCW framework includes four tenets that are “grounded inasset-based ideology that acknowledges rural residents’ multiple strengths and resiliency strategies”:(1) rural community unity, (2) rural resourcefulness, (3) rural familism, and (4) rural ingenuity (p. 4).These tenets are briefly described in Table 1 below.Table 1.
