My primary goal of this research was to betterunderstand how hiring managers make their decisions.

order toaccomplish this, the following research questions were proposed: · Will drawing an object in 3-D and producing that part with a Rapid Prototyping system as part of an Industry initiated project improve student visualization skills? · Does industry and education see benefits in this type of partnership?To do this several courses and industrial projects were used and evaluated for visualization skillimprovement and perceived benefits to provide a more complete picture.NeedThe need is seen as twofold in nature. Industry needs both trained personnel and access tospecial services. Education needs to provide trained personnel and access to the latesttechnology possible. Graphics is one of the core areas and permeates most
industry who makes online learning possible throughtechnological innovation. One such important partner is Microsoft. Through several initiatives,including research and development in learning technologies, its TechNet for Education andClassroom Teacher Network programs, and its partnership in groups like the LearningFederation, Microsoft has made clear its dedication to educational democracy, and many others,such as IBM and Sun Microsystems, are following suit.Activities Before the ColloquyThe colloquy began to take shape in early 2001 when a national steering committee was selectedand later convened that February. Together, the group developed a plan for the colloquy,including format, issues to be addressed, potential speakers, and other

In Page 4.363.1engineering practice, design procedures often make use of mechanics-based equations that havebeen derived for use in the general case. However, real life typically presents not the generalcase but some variation thereof; a strong background in mechanics is required to know how tomodify the general equations for application to the specific conditions.Geotechnical engineering education typically includes both classroom instruction in

publications have explored the value of project-based learning (PBL) [8-11] experiences inengineering education, including in robotics. In the case of soft robotics, the Soft Robotics Toolkit[12], a Wikipedia style learning resource with a diverse range of information, providescomprehensive information on actuator fabrication. This toolkit allows researchers and studentsalike to share their project materials so that novice learners can use them to learn the foundationalknowledge through hands-on, project-based explorations. This toolkit was introduced to theworkshop participants (i.e., students) as part of their literature review process.Situated Learning Theory (SLT), as articulated by Lave and Wenger [13], posits that sociallyplaced behavior is
the mostimportant in a given curriculum, the forward-thinking educator, not trapped in their academic silos,is likely to embrace an interdisciplinary mindset. This can be facilitated through aninterdisciplinary degree program specifically designed to allow students to study in multipledisciplines (perhaps across colleges) and by faculty that run those interdisciplinary classes, as wellas by conducting research with colleagues in different disciplines.The National Science Foundation defines convergence as the “deep integration of knowledge,techniques, and expertise from multiple fields to form new and expanded frameworks foraddressing scientific and societal challenges and opportunities.” (National Science Foundation).5Though not new, the idea

The authors thus would recommend such experiments to future Dynamicsteachers who are looking for ways to enhance their students’ grasp of difficult concepts. It ispredicted that such experiments will instill more enthusiasm in students compared to traditionalcourse delivery.
