students seeking industryexperience. In the past few years the average number of students participating in Co-op has beenaround 250 per year. It is unknown how many students get related work experience outside Co-op because there is no reliable method of quantifying summer internships.The optional Co-op program allows students to gain full-time supervised paid industry workexperience related to their area of study while earning college credit. Students complete pre- andpost-work self-assessment of professional and technical skills; collaborate with their supervisoron-the-job to develop a learning objectives report; and submit a final summary report detailingthe nature of their work experience and its relationship to their course of
Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Engineer Development and Mentor ProgramOverviewThe electric power industry in the United States is at a critical juncture for skilled workers in allfacets of the industry. During the last decade, researchers, small and large interest groups,government agencies, and universities have been reporting on the necessity of a highly skilledand adequately trained workforce. In 2007, IEEE published a task force report1 indicating adeclining national trend in power engineering graduates. Additionally, power engineeringcurriculum requirements have declined since 2001. Now, less than 59 percent of universitiesrequire a power engineering course to fulfill the electrical engineering curriculum. The

The paper concludes witha discussion of the key findings and provide directions for future development.MethodThis paper uses a case-study approach. During workforce development meetings across multiplecommunity and technical colleges in Louisiana, there was a discussion to determine whatadditional program offerings are needed; both on the credit side (i.e., degrees), and the non-creditside (i.e., industry-based certificates). To address this need, and through collaboration with amanufacturing-extension program, a set of Competitiveness Review© (CR) assessments8 wereperformed. Figure 1 describes the assessment process.

By embedding elements ofcareer development and professionalism into the engineering curriculum, students are exposedfrom freshmen year on to the key professional skills that employers seek from graduates asmodelled by the industry professionals themselves, including: critical thinking/problem solving;oral/written communication; teamwork/collaboration; information/technology application;leadership; professionalism/work ethic; career management [8]. With more than 70% of openpositions being secured through networking [9], it is important to introduce students to this skillas early as possible in their college career, and to ensure that

Early effortsto build academic community among the students have led to a critical program element called“Math Lab,” inspired by the many emerging scholars programs6,7 built out of the work of UriTreisman. Once or twice a week, students gather to work collaboratively on “challenge”problems in their respective calculus classes as well as non-curricular brain teasers and puzzlers.Through Math Lab, held outside of class time, ESA strives to instill a sense of confidence inproblem-solving and in teamwork, as well as to support the classroom mathematics courses.

This paper investigates the learning outcome with both thestudents and the company representatives based on project collaboration during a period ofnine months. The capstone course encompasses 18 ECTS credits, the equivalent of 12 weeksfull time studies spread over a period from the end of March to end of December, withsummer break from mid-May to beginning of September. The capstone course represents thesemi-final step before the students’ Master of Science degrees, followed by a master thesisproject which, at KTH, is preferably done at a company, in the form of an internship resultingin a scientific thesis report.During the 2011 projects, all five student teams voluntary

The existence of thelaboratory and the industry advisory committee established as a direct result of external fundinghelped launch a number of project oriented outreach programs targeting middle and high
engineering techniques and tools.Additionally, smaller proportions of engineering managers saw their current positions andidentities as being engineering-related. The findings suggest that different engineering sub-occupations require different skill sets, which may in turn affect how employees view their jobsand themselves. Determination of these differences can enable new thinking about which skillsto emphasize in undergraduate engineering programs, through core courses, electives, and/orextracurricular activities.IntroductionIn response to national calls for engineering education reform5-6, the training and preparation ofengineering students have received much attention.

into two main categories based on Bloom’s Taxonomy verbs tounderstand which competencies might be: 1) Taught in classrooms – referring to competencies that utilize Bloom’s Taxonomy verbs in levels 1 through 3; and 2) Supplemented by experiential learning – referring to Bloom’s Taxonomy levels 4 through 6. Category 2 is not meant to supplant the teaching of these competencies in the classrooms, but provides an opportunity to explore how students and the curriculum might benefit from industry collaboration and inclusion for competencies that require higher levels of learning, according to employers.The verbs were categorized into Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy of Educational Objectives sixcognitive levels [17, 18], whereby

. Following the first industrial revolution, research began onunderstanding people and collaboration as an important aspect for productivity in engineering.During the Taylorism era of the early 19th century, relationship between supervisors and workerswere established and cooperation was ensured to ensure efficiency in production [2]. However,the decision-making process were carried out by supervisors only. As the world shifted to thesecond industrial revolution, teams were formed with leaders and team members coordinatingtasks together and helping each other to reach team goals [2]. Leaders had the authority to directorders to team members ensuring proper coordination and control of tasks. By the beginning ofthe third industrial revolution
