Session 2357 Tools for Early Discipline Integration of Industrial Engineering and Business Students Paul Stanfield, Silvanus Udoka North Carolina A&T State University1. IntroductionIn practice, Industrial Engineers are often tasked with appropriately implementing developingtechnology within an organization’s business model. This integrating role requires interactionwith technical specialists (engineers) and business management. Some universities are emulatingthis environment for teaching in the senior year through adoption of multidisciplinary

clarify potentially negative stereotypes. When rubrics are constructedand evaluated by employees in collaboration with managers, they can also be used as a learningtool, as employees must reflect on their professional skill development. Figure 2. NASA Leadership Model for Managers. [13]Developing Rubrics in Industry As with rubric development in academia, the first step in rubric development in industryis to determine the type of rubric to be developed. Context is critical when determining whichqualities are best to evaluate in particular games. Certain games selected may be moreappropriate for evaluating for particular traits; for example, a game requiring a group as a wholeto accomplish a task may be best for
materialfor biodiesel. The university also intended on using the waste cooking oil from the schoolcafeterias to produce biodiesel. However, there is no concrete plan on implementation.Methodology The biodiesel initiative at XXXXX College began as an independent research projectinvolving two Chemical Engineering students. They were tasked with finding a productionmethod and a plan for third world nations to be able to produce enough biodiesel to provide asufficient amount of energy for several applications. The biodiesel was produced from bothvirgin vegetable oil and waste cooking oil from the college’s cafeterias and was analyzedthrough collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering department. This was done using a Listerengine to determine
suggestions for makingSELECT participation more equitable.1.0 IntroductionIndustry and academia collaborate to provide Student, Experiential-Learning, EngineeringCompetition Teams (SELECT) in many engineering fields. An example of a SELECT is theFormula SAE Series, from SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers).The SAE International website lists six companies that provide parts for free and an additionalcompany that offers teams a 30% discount from retail on parts.1 In addition to supplying parts,industry representatives are involved in designing the parameters of competitions, judgingcompetitions, and providing both financial and technical support for individual teams.2 Similarcompetitions include Design/Build/Fly from the

. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Developing research communication competencies for engineering education graduate students through a co-curricular community of practiceAbstractEngineers and engineering educators must communicate effectively across a range of genres,situations, and professional contexts, including industry, policy- and decision-making, andacademic settings. Developing these abilities means producing the “disciplinary conventions ofwriting in one’s field” [1], which are taught across contexts in a variety of ways [2]; [3]; [4]; [5].Although studies demonstrate that engineering communication instruction is valued, thesestudies focus on training students to communicate in
. Traditional lecturing is an excellent mechanism for delivering large amounts ofinformation but it also encourages passivity in students and compromises their interaction inclass2 . This also dulls student creativity since the instructor is expected to provide all thenecessary material and ideas. On the other hand, traditional laboratory experiences tend to bevery focused and rigid on a specific topic, consequently lacking an integrative approach thatcomprises different fields of academic instruction. The aim of this paper is to present acollaborative project in which we develop an interactive laboratory module that integrates coursematerial from three traditionally independent areas within industrial engineering.This effort involves the collaboration

Alternative Energy ProgramsIntroductionEnvironmental issues, U.S. dependence on foreign oil and depleting fossil fuel reserves: all ofthese issues represent an increasing awareness of the need for energy efficiency and alternativeand renewable energy education. Almost half (49%) of all energy produced in the U.S. isconsumed by the building sector. This is almost the same amount of energy consumed by bothtransportation (28%) and industry (23%) combined. [1] According to the U.S. EnergyInformation Administration, fossil fuels supply 76% of the total building sector energyconsumption. To address the building sector, architect Edward Mazria, in 2002, establishedArchitecture 2030, a non-profit, non-partisan, and independent organization. Architecture

The education experiences were enormous forthe student involved in this project. Implementation of this electric truck was accomplishedthrough a few hours each day on weekends for a year by a senior electrical engineering student.The student had great collaboration and interaction with his grandfather who acted as his projectmentor on the field. It was a fun and challenging project, which provided him extensiveeducational experience both socially and technically by interacting and consulting his mentor andvarious vendors.It is hoped that such a cost

Several examples of such efforts include the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense(OUSD) Acquisition & Sustainment Industrial Base (IBAS) program, which now leads theNational Imperative for Industrial Skills program and the Research & Engineering Trusted &Assured Microelectronics program. These initiative support several University-run programsincluding SCALE as part of a Public, Private, and Academic Partnership (PPAP), and theSTART-HBCU program to increase research collaborations between Sandia NationalLaboratories and several major HBCUs nationwide (U.S. Department of Defense, 2020; SandiaNational Laboratories, n.d.). Important aspects of such models include defining a common
engineering education context. Thefindings from this study provided detailed examples of how microelectronics professionalsdescribe and value communication skills and highlighted areas that they recommended formicroelectronics engineering student development. Further, the insights provided by the DIBemployers who participated in this study were important as they framed student development ofcommunication skills as being critical to the overarching workforce development program.Implications for changes in the engineering curriculum and related collaboration between highereducation and industry partners are suggested. Finally, this study indicates that the specializedrole that workforce development efforts serve as a connection between academia and

It has also resulted in startingsalaries that exceed even the higher-than-average salaries for computing graduates, with astarting salary of $116,000 per year for cybersecurity professionals in the Washington D.C. area,for example.

such as direct andindirect mentoring, self-directed learning, and collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, theresearch examines how workplace organizational socialization, facilitated through relationshipswith coworkers, management, and mentorship, supports engineers in meeting organizationalexpectations. The findings emphasize the critical role of fostering supportive learningenvironments, demonstrating how targeted onboarding strategies and mentorship initiatives canenhance confidence, adaptability, and long-term professional success. These insights offervaluable guidance for organizations in high-stakes industries like microelectronics to improveonboarding practices and workforce integration.KeywordsOrganizational Socialization

Thisframework is somewhat controversial but supported by numerous surveys focusing on nationalneeds. The movement of traditional Industrial Arts programs to a Technology/Engineeringapproach in both delivery and content has created a new set of problems with questions raisedabout the preparedness of existing Technology Education teachers to teach pre-engineering andengineering curricula. In addition there have been questions raised about the lack of femaleenrollment in engineering and technology classes.This paper describes the collaboration of Amherst
