products that are used the world over, from items you use in yourhome, to features of the interior of the transport you took home from work. Many decisions aremade about the user experience and the aesthetics for those products you own or use. Industrialdesigners are trained to be user-centric – to create goods and services that do not harm the usernor cause frustrations. They are multi-disciplinary by education. “In professional practice,industrial designers are often part of multidisciplinary teams made up of strategists, engineers,user interface (UI) designers, user experience (UX) designers, project managers, brandingexperts, graphic designers, customers and manufacturers all working together towards a commongoal.

and its partners in the construction industry.IntroductionPartnership between Educational Institution and Industry is not a new concept in fosteringlearning among students. There are many universities that work closely with business,government, and industry partners to develop programs to fit their needs. Universities andindustries traditionally maintained collaborations by including student internships, facultyexchanges, and industry design projects to complete a degree program. The purpose of thesepartnerships is to meet the needs of industries, governments, national laboratories, and thetraining needs of the university students.The goal of any university engineering technology curriculum is to provide the information andskills so each

Anatmosphere of hard work and collaboration among students was created. Energy Engineering and Energy Efficiency were finally the selected research areas. Allpartner companies agreed that under this umbrella they were able to accommodate manydifferent engineering projects, ranging from those heavily oriented to electrical power systemsanalysis in presence of large nonlinear loads, like Electrical Arc Furnaces for the steel makingindustry, to combustion in large steam power plants.

The summer faculty fellowship turned out to be a very successful collaboration betweenacademia and nuclear power industry. It allowed the faculty member to learn first hand whatknowledge in electrical circuit, instrumentation and control is needed by the nuclear powerindustry. The research project was successfully completed and a technical report was generatedto provide recommendations for the communication protocols for the DCS and field devices usedin the new nuclear power plants. As a result of the summer faculty fellowship, Dr. Zhan made several changes to the proposedcurriculum including modification of two

, engineersfrom the electronics and information technology industry have demonstrated strongsensitivity to changes and new trends in their fields. This means that they are sensitiveto changes in the field or the market and can make timely decisions or judgement onthe nature of the change or on the developmental trend concerning the change. Anotherexample comes from engineers from automobile industry. We found that becauseengineers in the automobile industry often worked on a certain part of a vehicle, theyneeded to collaborate with many other teams. Therefore, these engineers seemed tohave paid more attention to the interconnectivities among different parts. That is, thechange on one part can often lead to the change on some other part; changes in
