. Some students w ere initiallyfrustrated by the fact that they did not immediately know how to proceed in solving the problem.Our goal is that this frustration w ill subside as they are exposed to similar open-ended problems inmodules developed for most of their industrial engineering courses.ConclusionsOur initial experience with the ELP indicates that IT can be used effectively to createopportunities for students to collaboratively solve realistic engineering problems, therebypromoting deeper learning and higher order thinking. Students benefit from the integration ofmaterial from a variety of industrial engineering courses.

. Colleges of engineering must develop ways to prepare their students for this world. Students, of course, will only fully understand global concepts through the role models that their colleges provide. The Global Academic Industrial Network (GAIN) is an attempt to create multi- organizational, international partnerships of academic and industrial organizations that emphasize collaborative educational programs and research that meets the global needs of faculty, students, and industry. IntroductionThe need for a global perspective in engineering education is, perhaps, best understood from aquote by Peter Drucker1, “In the new mental geography created

Where one may finda roadblock, another may see an easy pass-through.Furthermore, through studies and discussions, students have been exposed to the benefits ofdivergent thinking and the role that it plays within the industry and in innovation. Divergentthinking is what allows innovators to innovate. It goes hand in hand with interdisciplinarythinking and allows the students to think of a problem or solution in an entirely new light.Through divergent thinking, students can learn to explore problems and solutions in a new light,find new solutions, and create new opportunities. In collaborating with others, the studentsdevelop new ideas, are exposed to new ways of thinking, and learn new skills. This will helpevery

In addition, input from industry—particularly fromplant managers—is needed to help identify companies’ greatest challenges and most neededsolutions.This paper reports preliminary findings from an industry survey and three workshop discussionsinvolving industry professionals, academic researchers, and OEM manufacturers. The goals ofthe workshop were to discuss success stories, challenges, and opportunities related to workforcedevelopment and the implementation of Industry 4.0 within manufacturing enterprise settings.Findings from the survey and workshops will lay the

Here the findings of the NSF Blue Ribbon Panel on, Simulation-BasedEngineering Science (May 2006) are used to argue the need for “Modeling andSimulation Based Design for Manufacturing (MSBDM)”. This framework allows themanufacturing engineer to reduce variation, improve quality and safety, and approachdesign optimization in a timely manner. Finally in, “Bridge the Culture Gap betweenAcademia and Industry”, the fifth component, a case is made for collaboration to addresswhat is often referred to as the “innovation paradox”.

Several sources discuss advantages ofindustry experience for faculty, as many of the skills learned in professional experience can bedirectly transferable to a successful faculty career (Loendorf 2004; Loendorf 2006; Banik 2016).For example, it is recommended for new faculty to be flexible, try new things, maintain anupbeat, enthusiastic attitude, manage time well, select a mentor, and collaborate (Loendorf 2006,Banik 2016). These are skills often learned in “real world” settings, such as working forengineering consulting firms or industry.
