communication and collaboration will be asimportant as technical content” [11].Further, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in their Vision 2030 studyfound from industry managers that “entry level mechanical engineers need strengthening in howdevices are made and work and in communication,” recommending curricular design thatsupports “effective communication, persuasiveness, diplomacy, and cultural awareness” [12].The Aerospace industry also recognized as early as 1965, that “there is overriding importanceplaced on accuracy, and that effective communication that must take place between writer andreader. Equipment has grown so complex that it must be accompanied by instructions in its use”[13].As recently as 2016, the American Institute
and its education partners recognized this need andapproached the problem in two steps: 1) skills standards development and 2)collaboration to develop and pilot the training and education system to emulate themodern manufacturing environment. A collaboration of industry and educatorsconducted a year-long study to create a formative set of skills standards to guidetechnician education.1,2 Published in 2002, The National Skills Standards for Page 12.376.2Technicians in Highly Automated Manufacturing Environments(www.matec.org/work/skills )3, took a forward look at the knowledge, skills and abilitiesrequired.

for corporate placement of student graduates,research funding or collaboration, design project opportunities, financial support and curricularadvice. These goals form a solid foundation for the industry-academic partnership. However, tomove to the level of a “strategic partnership,” a deeper commitment on both sides and longer-term thinking are required. If both the University and the corporate partner are committed,ABET related issues naturally arise. After all, the new EC 2000 criteria are based on outcomes,require dialogue with constituents, and call for data reporting on student performance in theworkplace. Although ultimately the burden of responsibility for accreditation falls to the
and increased collaboration between industry andacademia. Programs are cautioned that inclusion of industry raters adds another dimension to theplanning that increases the administrative burden, and that passing percentages for student workwill likely decrease when industry raters are included. Page 25.230.2IntroductionChange is inevitable; growth is intentional. Change in our education programs can be driven bymany factors such as the adoption of new technologies, the need to adapt to student learningstyles and abilities, or the desire to improve learning efficiency.

service industries, such as the coffee industry in this case. Indeed, thecoffee industry provided a great opportunity to apply ergonomic tools using a participatoryresearch approach and engaging students to develop ethical values, sensibility as well associal responsibility.The design experience was centered around Participatory Action Research, which can bedefined as “systematic inquiry, with the collaboration of those affected by the issue beingstudied, for purposes of education and taking action or effecting change” (Green, et al., 2003).In this particular case, students were provided with an opportunity to directly interact withstakeholders to define goals and identify a problem statement through an action researchmethodology.Course

This has major pedagogical implications, not only for course content butalso for course delivery. Are communication skills, ethics, and professionalism more effectivelypresented in specific courses or integrated into the curriculum through changes in content andmethodology? How is the commitment to life-long learning instilled? Are there “best practices”to foster true collaboration in multi-disciplinary teams?From the results, it is evident that industry would like to have more emphasize oncommunication skill (3.50), broad education in global and societal context (3.48) and importanceof

A successful eventwould include networking opportunities, faculty research presentations, and presentations aroundchallenges and opportunities for the next generation of career-seekers in industry. From thisvision, the Annual WPI Energy Symposium was established in 2011.This annual, free-to-the-public event has been a great success.

Although the topic of the university-industry collaboration wasdiscussed in the vast majority of the literature in various areas; due to very fast pace of thetechnological innovations and services in the industry, corresponding collaboration efforts withthe academia will continue to be subject of new educational research efforts [2-5]. An industry-university partnership has many fruitful outcomes; (1) industrial personnel may have anopportunity to become a pro-active member in a specific academic program and departmentalindustrial advisory boards, (2) the company may provide internships and part-time jobopportunities to the qualified students and establishes scholarship programs to honor thecompany and the university, (3) allows students to

Engineering Education, 2016 Developing Student Centered Partnerships: Professional Socialization and the Transition to IndustryIntroductionThere is a persistent dialogue among academic and industrial stakeholders regarding the abilityof students to transition into full-time engineering positions in industry [2, 3]. Engineeringeducators and professionals have contributed to the conversation by suggesting the need forbroader collaborations between academia and industry[4, 5]. Academic-industry partnershipshave resulted and have led to significant benefits for both academic and industry stakeholders.Academia cites gaining funds to support research, testing theory in

The engineer’s ability to communicate directlywith the manufacturer would greatly facilitate collaboration between the two parties.Unfortunately, undergraduate engineering programs today are not set up to prepare students tocommunicate in a global engineering environment.As the industrial world evolves to survive in an ever more global market, a barrier to progress intechnical collaboration efforts is the inability of most engineers to fluently speak a foreignlanguage. Though language courses are included in the curricula of many schools throughout theUnited States, few students achieve any

Industry Collaboration Absent From Many Software Engineering Project Courses?Although studies (such as those listed above) have shown the importance and the benefits of involvingindustry partners in software engineering project courses, this model still has not been widely adopted bymany Computer Science departments. One of the main reasons (as also discussed in8) is that their facultydoes not have the appropriate background and the confidence to mentor such projects.Unlike other classes, teaching courses with real-life industry projects requires skills that cannot easily belearned from a textbook, but rather must be gained from practical experience developing real software inindustry. As many faculty members have reached academia directly from
