Teaching administrators and faculty the strategic doing approach gives themsuch a tool, and ongoing support within the program helps them make using the tool a collectivehabit.The network as the unit of change: Most university leaders (as is true in industry) have anunderstanding of change management rooted in a “command and control” vision of the wayorganizations function. That is, positional leaders (be they presidents, provosts, deans ordepartment chairs) occupy upper levels on the organizational charts and should thus be able totell those below them what to do.

This paper will first describe the two most common types of teachingportfolios in terms of their purpose, audience, and what elements they might contain. Next, wewill present four reasons why engineering faculty, post-docs, and graduate students might wantto build teaching portfolios. We will then describe the methods we used to select the institutionsin our study sample and obtain information about their teaching portfolio initiatives.

The goal is to complement the traditional engineering education approach ofproducing engineers with hard technical skills incorporating educational experiences in industry.It is expected that the new industrial engineering graduate will be ready to enter into professionallife with a strong technical background and being sensitive to the challenges posed by diversityand cultural differences. This partnership attempts to foster global and cultural competency bycreating educational environments that favors a new type of global engineer, with a broad rangeof skills and knowledge, above and beyond a typical industrial engineering (IE) curriculum.

Some companies have focused on teaching modeling focused onmechatronics, typically by allying themselves with a university that offers formal curriculum inthis area.As can be seen, there is a variety of approaches practiced in the industry to train engineers inModel-Based Design. While some large companies can allocate the time and resources to offerformal training, a vast majority of engineers do not have access to such resources. Therefore, itwould be beneficial to industry if academia focused on training engineering students on Model-Based Design so that graduating engineers can minimize the ramp-up time when they begin theirprofessional careers

The professor starts the period with questions,and uses the student answers to pose subsequent questions so that students are guided throughthe course material. Initially the students are uncomfortable with the Socratic method, butbecome increasingly comfortable with the approach as the semester progresses. Thelaboratory experiments are open-ended, which
