These identified skills were then used as the basis for the new degree programs,with appropriate competencies strongly linked to the course and program outcomes.This important information was gathered through activities such as a technology conference inwhich 59 participants, including academic and industry partners, discussed the critical skills andcompetencies that are needed in industry and should be reflected in the new MET curriculum.Additionally, the Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator have

Therefore, it is important that these tools are studied in a suitablecontext in order to understand how they can be used properly in the classroom.Considering this need to study the impact of emerging internet technologies on learning, thispaper will explore how social networking and online collaboration tools can be used to bothstrengthen note-taking skills and also provide instructors with feedback regarding theeffectiveness of their teaching. To do this, we have made use of two free, online applications,mynoteIT1 and Gliffy2, that provide a framework for students to

For-profit colleges have developed customer service procedures, educationalmethods, and policies that help them graduate working adults quickly. They claim, andcompanies paying many of the students’ bills and accreditation agencies agree, that theirstudents learn. This paper examines some of their educational methods and discusses whichones might be adopted by non-profit schools. The major focus will be on the largest privateuniversity in the US, the University of Phoenix, which currently has more than 200,000students and over 19,000 faculty6, and DeVry University, a private for-profit universityheavily involved with engineering and information technology

At thesame time they provide industry clients with information about new areas of research that aregoing on in the university along with information on faculty and university expertise. This two-way messaging has been shown to be a very effective tool in getting faculty interested in solvingsome short-term problems and encouraging industry to collaborate with faculty for some long-term research-based technological innovation.The next strategy employed by AMI and ATMC is to introduce the concept of internalengineering internship into the operation of
