training while medium-to-advancedrobotic users would participate in advanced training from Week 2. Therefore, by the end ofWeek 12, all the students would feel more confident to work on the final project of collaborativerobots. In addition, a new module called “collaborative robot” should be added to the advancedtraining block to enhance students’ understanding of sequential operation. This could help toaddress the new research question in the next study: How would individualized training help tobenefit students’ robotic learning?4. References[1] M. A. K. Bahrin, M. F. Othman, N.

The opportunities, though, for graduate students to be involved in industry driven researchis increasing. Witness the increased opportunities through university/industry consortia and engineering centersthat link universities with industry, opportunities to work on industrially relevant projects at the NationalInstitute of Standards and Technology, and federally fimded programs such as the NSF Grant Opportunities forAcademic Liaison with Industry (GOALI).

engineering students, the path for immediate involvement in professional practiceis participation in interdisciplinary industry-sponsored design-and-build projects.In a previous iteration of implementation, engineering students participated in industry-sponsored projects on an extra-curricular basis. Except in one carefully developed industrysponsored collaborative project, participation was not mandated nor was it tied to engineeringcourses for credit. Outcomes were mixed. A positive example arose from an annual weekend-long “sprint” project event that engaged almost 170 participants from multiple universities.Students, including engineers, identified and solved problems related to the aging urbanpopulation.

collaborative learning.IntroductionThe use and effectiveness of immersive environments for learning has been increasinglyresearched and examined. Current research shows that immersive environments such as VirtualReality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are among the most promising mediums to supportlearning. These technologies provide computer-generated simulations of the real or an imaginedworld that can serve as a rich and engaging context for learning [1]. Two features of thesetechnologies, “immersion” and “interactivity”, bring new dimensions to how people learnindividually and collaboratively. Bryson describes immersion as the sense that the “user’s pointview or some parts of the user’s body is contained within the computer generated-model” [2
interviewees sharedthat "the ability to collaborate is fundamental in civil engineering," as it enables professionals tobring projects to fruition by integrating technical expertise with effective communication. Byemphasizing teamwork in educational programs, civil engineering students can be betterprepared to navigate the collaborative demands of the industry and contribute to impactfulprojects. Internship experience has become a key expectation for graduates entering the civilengineering consultancy industry, as firms value practical exposure to fieldwork and real-worldproject scenarios. Internships reinforce teamwork skills by providing practical experience incollaborative environments. One executive stated, “Internships help graduates learn

An added benefit andanticipated outcome of the collaboration between high school, vocational education, anduniversity faculty is that their coming together in work groups and their orchestration ofcurricula should serve to advance the creation of two seamless pipelines essential for theefficient production of workers of a green economy:1.

observation and interviewing skills, the techniques employed in designethnography are extremely valuable for all engineers, including both those directly involved inproduct design, as well as engineers involved in other investigative practices such as failureanalysis and applied research. These skills are not necessarily appreciated by engineeringstudents, and the value of structured observation, along with careful documentation, reflectionand utilization of the results is often overlooked as unnecessary. This oversight leads toincomplete assessments of use settings and an inadequate understanding of the user’s needs inopen ended, client based projects.While an understanding of its value is growing within industry, there is currently still
