Despite limitations in their skills andin other areas, the Dominican students involved in our program internalized complex DAEconcepts and produced simple but well-designed experiments. They demonstrated moresophisticated mental models about research and better analytical skills by the end of thesummer, and their language skills improved, as well.The pilot provided valuable insights for future improvement. We believe this curriculumwill be useful to educators interested in engineering and technology education, but themethod can also be useful for science educators.

Universities have to move from more authoritarian modes of education to thosein which students can practice the skills that compose moral autonomy. The key insight here isthat ethical-empowerment does not require that employers and teachers abandon control butthat they enable individuals to internalize control. After all, autonomy, in the Kantian sense,refers to the internalization of moral imperatives; duty becomes the

Page 22.21.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 A College-Industry Research Partnership on Software Development for Undergraduate StudentsAbstractCollaboration means working together for a special purpose. When industry and academiacollaborate, their purposes may be very different, e.g., academia focuses on education andtheoretical research, and industry in general focuses on products and process efficiency.Therefore, it is not easy for faculty members in engineering programs to find collaborationprojects that represent a win-win situation for both industry and academia. Such projects canrepresent a major contribution to the education of our engineering students.In this paper, we
