closed and proprietary manufacturing practice in the global economy.• Using IT to its full potential also requires addressing many “soft” non-technical issues. That is, IT as a technology in itself would not make a significant change to the manufacturing industry unless compatible supporting business, managerial and personnel functions are simultaneously developed. The emerging Agile Manufacturing paradigm and the studies by national organizations on research andeducation in advanced and IT-based manufacturing are compelling. Thus, the nation’s manufacturingengineering educational system has to respond to these insistent needs.3 Course Curriculum In this section, we discuss the curriculum design of the graduate level agile

: As your group grows larger, there tend to be small subgroups of graduate students fromthe same country. These students stick together sometimes creating friction between variousstudents within your overall research group. How do you get them to interact more as a singlegroup, rather than by their country of origin?Suggestions:One of our research groups currently has faculty and students from five continents providing adiverse population. However, as you get a critical mass of students from one area or country,these students tend to study together and talk together, sometimes making others feel left out.This relationship is positive especially in helping new graduate students feel comfortable withtheir new setting. However, it can become a

Students trying todecide the career path best for them, how to enter that job market, and how to become successful upon entry,while developing a style of their own, need a venue to find information to assist them in these difficult tasks.Faculty members are a good source of information; however, they may not have the experience or the timenecessary to do a thorough job mentoring graduate students regarding their careers.

Students also expressed a preference for RA and fellowship positions overTA assignments (Borrego, Choe, Nguyen, & Knight, 2019) Although engineering doctoralstudents may be funded through additional mechanisms, such as internships, employers, orpersonal funds, we consider fellowships, RA, and TA assignments in our study as the mostcommon funding mechanisms, and those over which academics and policymakers have the mostinfluence.Prior research in doctoral engineering education largely focuses on the impact of primaryfunding mechanism on graduate student outcomes, such as completion rates

Thefindings in this paper raise as many questions as they answer. For example, what role does thefaculty play in students’ consideration of the dual degree program? What other factors (e.g.,parents’ education, co-op experience, undergraduate research experience, availability of fundingfor graduate school, socio-economic status, and institutional culture around graduate study) comeinto play?

In this work, wefocus on examining when students enroll in the major they will eventually graduate in and how itvaries by matriculation model. The research questions this work will address are: 1. When do engineering students enroll in the major they are going to graduate in? 2. How does this vary by matriculation model?Understanding when students enroll in their graduation majors can inform policies and programdevelopment as well as identify areas for

IntroductionIn 1991, the National Research Council stated that "U.S. industry’s period of world dominancein product design, manufacturing innovation, process engineering, productivity and marketshare has ended" [1]. This could have been a reaction to the sluggish economy, the downsizingof engineers and reduced funding for aerospace/defense and research in the US. However, inaddressing improvements necessary to develop new national goals, the Committee on Science,Engineering and Public Policy recommended that graduate education of scientists andengineers should be broader, more flexible and cross-functional [2].For the last 5 years, Loyola Marymount University (LMU) has addressed the above challengesin graduate education by forming a
