practical experiences available at Purdue, it seemed to makesense to utilize the original mission of the university to classify the types of experiences. Purdueis one of the first Land Grant universities, with engagement, research, and traditional academicgoals. Students at Purdue can gain practical experience in service learning projects throughEPICS, research projects through employment in on-going laboratory projects with faculty, andwork experience through employment with various university partner organizations. It wasdetermined that we would use the term “experiential education” to describe this larger spectrumof practical experience. Unfortunately, Co-Op does not adequately describe all of the types of traditional workexperience

The Polytechnic was established in1996 and the student enrolment grew from 1,016 in 1996 to 6,545 in 2006. The number ofdegrees offered is 30 baccalaureate and 12 graduate degrees.

/manufacturing engineering andengineering technology students. It should not be buried inside an undergraduate course withjust a brief overview nor should it be strictly treated as a precious commodity reserved only forgraduate research labs. Treatment of traditional engineering materials continues to dominatemost applications within engineering related coursework. Composites education deserves asignificant role at both the university level as well as appropriate post - secondary technicaleducation disciplines. All engineering and engineering technology students will benefit by anincreased and more intense exposure to composites. Composites education should becategorized into three distinct yet connected areas: ‚ Materials ‚ Manufacturing
industry and the benefits received by educationalinvestments is limited and therefore the samples for this research are taken from industrialalliances, the case study of one company and current graduate students.This paper provides insight from members of the Buying and Information Group (BIG), astrategic alliance of twelve independent welding gas and supply companies located throughoutthe United States. The BIG group meets on a regular basis to discuss best practices within theindustry. While all of the companies within the BIG group provided information regarding theirviews on educational support, only half of the companies financially support education of theiremployees.

These workshops focus on the design of the mechanical and embedded control of an autonomous mobile robot. Summer Teacher Programs: Faculty have led multiple programs focused on junior high and high school teachers designed to support their interest in integrating STEM, and in particular engineering, into their classrooms. Education Research: Faculty in ETID have funding from multiple sources including an NSF ITEST project for promoting STEM education and careers in the K-12 environment. Other Interactions

Their definitionof tertiary education extends to the range of institutions, including universities and colleges,technical and vocational training institutes, distance learning centers, research and development(R&D) labs, and centers of excellence that constitute the academic node of a national system ofinnovation.

Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering EducationSince then a number of initiatives were completed including the NSF sponsored ECSEL programthat focused mostly on freshman coursework. Other efforts have been undertaken to includeproduct realization and refinement of major design projects into the design curriculum(Bannerot 2, Doepker3). Others aim at integrating design across the curriculum (LeMaster4,Eggert 5, Eggert6). And lastly, a significant research effort has been undertaken to address designassessment processes through the Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education project(Davis7). However, very little has been reported about the specific design topics or activitiesdesired by industry and or those supplied by

Eventhough the students are now enrolled in traditional engineering curricula, they now atleast have an appreciation of the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the future ofthe engineering profession.OutcomesWhat did the authors learn? Both agree that the course was one of the most difficult theyhave ever taught. The primary reason for the difficulty was the wide range of topic areasthat the Engineering Grand Challenges encompass. One author’s educational backgroundwas aerospace/mechanical engineering; the other’s was civil engineering. The first authoralso has research experience in alternative energies, and formally taught in the
