Industry–Student Partnerships in Development and Sharing of Educational Content Involving LabVIEWAbstractThe biomedical engineering (BME) students at our university often need hardware and softwarefor data acquisition, automation and data analysis for their instrumentation laboratory classes andopen-ended design projects every semester. We have teamed with the Education Division atNational Instruments to form a collaborative partnership for the necessary resources and to createteaching material to facilitate students with their design projects. National Instruments havedonated NI ELVIS system instrumentation equipment during the 2007–2008 academic year aswell as continuous support to help students with their learning objectives
that have been used at Purdue University regionalcampuses to develop successful on-going partnerships between their IE and IET facultyand one of the larger service industries, healthcare and hospitals. The partnerships thathave been developing over the past few years have provided various engagementopportunities for faculty and students alike. This paper will discuss topics such asfunding of faculty involvement in hospital projects, the integration of students into theon-going efforts, as well as adaptation of curriculum and further collaborative efforts thatare being developed with medical/nursing programs within the various universitycampuses involved.IntroductionTraditionally, Industrial Engineering (and subsequently Industrial

: Responding to Needs of Industry in a Capstone CourseAbstractResearch has shown that consulting engineering firms need newly graduated junior engineers tobe skilled in communication, especially writing. In response to this plea from the civilengineering industry in Salt Lake Valley, University of Utah has designed a capstone course inits Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering that focuses on written, oral and teamcommunication besides technical and design elements. The course incorporates communicationinstructors from the CLEAR program who collaborate with faculty, lecture in the class, consultwith students and assess assignments in an effort to ensure a higher level of communicationcompetency in graduates.IntroductionUndergraduate

Thedesign projects were developed in collaboration with Goodwill Industries of theSpringfield/Hartford Area, Inc., a local nonprofit agency that employs individuals withdisabilities in light manufacturing work. The projects revolved around a multi-step process forpackaging of decking screws into boxes. Each team of biomedical and industrial engineeringstudents was assigned the development of an assistive device to facilitate one of the steps of thispackaging process. The teams followed a standard design process as they progressed through theproject. At all times, the teams were reminded to include features in their designs that wouldmaximize the

Results showedthat even though the students had to collaborate virtually, students' feedback and satisfactionrates about this collaboration were not significantly different from how students in previousyears responded to the survey questions [12]. Rogers et al. noticed that the transition to oralpresentations for capstone projects during the pandemic positively affected the increased numberof panelists from the industry sponsors' sides.

Amotivation that is often cited for using projects to evaluate students in groups is ensuring thatstudents are well equipped to collaborate on, and negotiate, real-world projects. Unfortunately, itis not always evident that the actual design and evaluation of such projects by instructors
