During the 2-year MSprogram, students, faculty, and participating industry partners develop and manufacture avehicle prototype providing the students with experience in marketing, design,engineering, systems integration, prototyping, and validation. For the third edition of DeepOrange, the goal was to develop a blank sheet, fully functional, hybrid mainstream sportscar concept targeted towards Generation Y with Mazda North American Operations as theprimary sponsor and the Art Center College of Design as the styling partner.The objective of this paper is to

access to a tester kept at a centrallocation. While a virtual ATE can provide a useful hands-on learning experience7, the drawbackis that the students do not learn the actual test programming and issues related to working with areal ATE tester. Remote access to a shared ATE machine does provide students with access to anindustrial-level tester, but students do report some frustration on not being able to have directphysical contact with the tester.7 Hence, some level of collaboration with an industry partner isnecessary for most institutions to provide access to a quality semiconductor tester. Texas A&MUniversity is one successful example of a college-industry collaboration that is able to providetheir students with training on an advanced

For this reason, this paper presents two approaches to enhance the capstoneexperience.Purpose of the StudyThe purpose of this study is to present an improvement to the existing capstone experience in theengineering curriculum. The enhancements include: 1) Introduction of “mini-capstone” projects in the sophomore and junior level courses. These mini-capstone projects are derived from the main capstone done in the senior year and are done in collaboration with industry partners. 2) Addition of a “presentation” component in the senior year capstone course where industry participants present projects related to coursework.Significance of the StudyBased upon the background search in the next section, it can be seen

The employers who participated in this study represented the growingAM industry sub-sectors of timber, pipeline, and textiles. Our findings suggest that ruralemployers face challenges common to all AM employers: 1) the need for workplace skills, suchas a strong commitment to teamwork and ongoing professional development; and 2) difficultiesin encouraging employees’ transitions from job to career pathway, thus increasing their in-fieldpersistence. These results have implications for educational institutions that offer AM degreesand for graduates who seek rural employment in the AM field.Acknowledgements: This material is based upon work

The purpose ofthese meetings was to share the LDDI vision and recruit industry professionals to participate indevelopment of the land development design program at the University. These early efforts haveresulted in over 200 practitioners who now participate in this initiative, donating time, energy,and their firms’ resources to achieve LDDI priorities.

. Historically, engineering curriculahave been based largely on an “engineering science” model, referred to as the “Grinter Model”,in which engineering is taught only after a solid basis in science and mathematics. The resultingengineering graduates were perceived by industry and academia, at the time, as being “ill-prepared” for the practice. Despite steps taken to remedy the situation, through greater industry-academia collaboration; both design faculty and design practitioners argue that furtherimprovements are necessary. Design faculty across the country and across a range of educationalinstitutions still feel that the leaders of engineering schools (deans, department heads, tenuredfaculty) are unable or unwilling to recognize the intellectual
