In the current competitive environment,for both students and companies, new approaches need to be designed that support development ofcompetencies and skills needed by new graduates to be productive from start of their career.1.2 Industry and academia partnership to develop competenciesCorporations and employers have frequently pointed to a lack of professional awareness and low levels ofcommunication and teamwork skills in engineering graduates [11-14] These issues have led the U.S.Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) [15] to transform their accreditationcriteria from a content-based approach to an outcomes

These brainstorming sessionsled to planning sessions surrounding curricular change discussed in the Curriculum sectionbelow. The “critical doing” of developing the new curriculum allowed the faculty to examine thecurrent system, identify issues to be addressed, and build the shared vision.Faculty reached the consensus on bringing industry practice to our students and sharing thevision of “Engineering with Engineers” during the first year of this project.b.

The change has been most difficult for theARCE department due to a highly impacted curriculum of typically 3 unit courses.One concern initially expressed by ARCE faculty was what existing courses would be sacrificedto make room for this new 5 unit course? It appears that this question has been answered withthe new interdisciplinary project based course replacing a prior 3 unit “senior project” course.The additional 2 units for the new interdisciplinary course were gained by eliminating a 4 unitgeneral numerical analysis course taught by computer science and replacing it with a 1 unitfocused numerical analysis lab taught by ARCE faculty.

According to a January 2011 Department of Energy audit, the currentstandards are not “adequate to ensure that systems-related risks to the nation’s power grid weremitigated or addressed in a timely manner.” While the 2012 cyber security act did not pass, thisissue remains one of great concern to many, the Department of Defense has deemed this issue ofenough importance to increase its dedicated workforce from 900 to 4000 with a goal of growingit even more across sectors in the coming decade. 1.

Arthur Lakes Library supports Mines faculty inadapting existing OER or creating their own open materials.Some faculty at Mines have been using free resources in their courses for years, however theofficial “OER movement” on campus is relatively new. This movement was sparked by the workof a student group, For OER At Mines (FOAM), and a grant from the Colorado Department ofHigher Education (CDHE). In 2017, Colorado established a state OER Council to developrecommendations to support OER adoption at public higher education institutions [2]. The nextyear, the Council funded $550,000 in individual and institutional-level grants to foster theadoption, adaption and creation of OER across the state.

difficulty isthe fact that institutions place constraints on engineering curricula in order to meet very restrictiveaccreditation requirements. The institutions, however, derive substantial benefits from accreditation.Consequently, relevance and suitability are critical issues that will always confront attempts to reviseengineering curricula. Curricular constraints, therefore, must be addressed explicitly by new or emergingprogrammatic directions, such as expanding the availability of environmental engineering course work tostudents enrolled in other programs. Institutions could respond in a variety of ways to the needs of engineering students to have bettercomprehension of environmental issues and, more specifically, how these issues

philosophy departments are ill equipped to handle the demand created by a required engineering ethics course. As with engineering faculty, philosophy faculty are already committed to research in their own discipline and to maintaining programs of study such as the philosophy major. Some philosophers have told us that they would be unwilling to sacrifice attention to their own programs to respond to required courses in the so-called service areas such as engineering or business ethics.EAC offers a promising alternative.

For the initial term, these tasks were made easier by the small classsize (13 students) and the interest in participating by members of the Department‟s externaladvisory panel. While the partner companies suggested receiving more feedback on theirperformance in mentoring students, such measures are easily implemented, likely by an exitinterview held by the employer.The faculty workload was not significantly different under the new format. Given the variety ofprojects, there could be concern of a lack of faculty expertise to assist students. However, theindustry partners provided the majority of the
