Instrumentation (anElectrical Engineering course) and Software Maintenance and Reengineering from ComputerSciences and Software Engineering department collaborated on five Internet of Things (IoT)projects. The collaboration has revealed both challenges and positive outcomes. This paperdescribes the collaboration, the students’ feedback and lessons learned. 1. IntroductionEngineering projects have become complex in the 20th century and require multiple teams fromdifferent disciplines to work collaboratively to solve problems. Collaboration betweenmultidisciplinary teams has become a standard in industries; however, educational curricula havebeen slow to adapt. Although most engineering programs have a capstone design course as a partof their curricula
Project courses for all majors. The importance of understanding risk andliability, of continuous professional development including licensure, and of ethics inengineering practice, all of which are relevant concepts for an entrepreneurial approach toengineering, have been stressed. Historically, senior projects that have led to longer-termstudent-private sector collaborations or even student-initiated business have been rare.Recently, entrepreneurship at Pitt-Johnstown has experienced a revitalization. A renewed pushto create an Entrepreneurial Studies program came from Pitt-Johnstown President Jem Spectar in2011. This led first to an agreement with Johnstown Area Regional Industries (JARI) to supportentrepreneurial internships for Pitt-Johnstown

A successful case study of virtual mobile robot design for home roboticswas presented to illustrate the key advantages of the virtual world approach,using Second Lifetechnology. Based on our experiences, key advantages of virtual worlds include the ability tocreate and animate 3D models and prototypes,and to communicate and collaborate as avatars inan immersive environment. Ideal virtual worldtechnology tools should include in-world shared3D editing, animation (preferably with industry standard programming languages,) ability toimport mesh models, a sophisticated physics engine, highly interactive avatars and a strongcommunity of users

. Unlike traditional whole-group discussions, which tend to be dominated by a few voicesand the teacher decides who speaks, the fishbowl format fosters an environment where studentsautonomously contribute and their peers genuinely engage with their perspectives. Additionally,students shared that the fishbowl approach was intense because of the need to look for a time toenter the center circle and the presence of an audience.Shift & ShareShift & Share as a collaborative format emphasizes learning together and transfer of knowledge.Used in industry for pitching innovations and getting feedback on new features, it also replaceslarge group presentations with smaller conversations that enable freer exchange of ideas.

Two types of technology have dominated in these areas, buildinginformation modeling (BIM), which has established a solid reputation for collaboration 2, andcloud computing, which has emerged more recently as a solution for collaboration 1, 10, 12. Whileaspects of BIM and cloud computing continue to emerge, in general they are rapidly becoming atypical component in the construction process, whereas a few years ago they were cutting edge.Because of this rapid pace of change knowing what direction technology is heading is vital.Technology in construction education should reflect that of the industry, but a variety

Over the next sixteenyears, the MIPS program evolved to be a major factor in the development of productsresulting from academic-industrial linkages.Program DescriptionThe MIPS program subsidizes technology commercialization by jointly fundinginnovative, collaborative R&D projects between Maryland companies and UniversitySystem of Maryland faculty. Both MIPS and company funds go towards universityproject costs. Those projects which are competitively assessed to be of high technicalmerit and of commercial relevance are conducted by USM faculty in conjunction withcompany researchers. Companies leverage their R&D funding and gain access to
, the faculty and students work moreclosely with their industry sponsors, requiring a greater commitment on the part of the industrysponsors to support the project throughout its life cycle. Furthermore, the industry sponsors arenow charged a fee for a student team. This has raised the sponsor’s expectations and students arecharged with bringing their project to a successful completion. Our experience has been that thisnew program has been a win-win situation for all. For example, students get more challengingprojects, industry sponsors get good solutions to their problems that can save them money, andfaculty develop long-term relationships with the companies leading to future collaboration in theform of research projects.
