Thisinformation, often referred to as “tribal knowledge”, is widely admitted by professional people tobe of great value, and yet has not been systematically archived by most companies. In this paper,we present a conceptual mapping based approach for retaining tribal knowledge. We firstdemonstrate the theoretical framework for this approach that is applied to developing trainingmodules to improve engineering and technology students troubleshooting skills.

The purposeof this paper is to describe a project that was collaboratively conducted by Purdue Universitysenior and graduate student classes with a moderate-sized Midwest trucking company. Thepurpose of the project was to develop and implement a survey to identify customer perceptionsrelated to key success factors for the trucking industry in general and the company in particular.This survey was designed to collect customer responses rating a combination of qualitative andquantitative questions. It was also designed with an eye towards “repeatability” so the companymay utilize portions of the survey to track progress on key success factors over time.

Before the survey, some students had spent one or more terms workingin industry as Co-Op interns while others had not. Statistical analysis was used to determine ifstudent volunteers with Co-Op experience also had higher motivation and maturity scores.The data collected appear to indicate that students with Co-Op experience are more mature thanstudents without Co-Op experience. However, the statistical distributions of motivation scoresare similar for both groups and it appears that for the population studied there is no differencebetween the two groups.

However, practicalimplementation of extracurricular programs has not been effectively structured in manyconstruction programs mainly due to lack of university-industry collaboration, missing guidanceof best practice, and insufficient level of student interest.Several attempts have been made to develop effective extracurricular construction technologyeducation programs.

Another example is a “new productreview” process which provides students an opportunity to learn technical knowledge byproviding a real engineering professional service to a local municipality. The
