This collaboration will improve 2-yr to 4-yr transfer rate,increase traditional high school students, incite interest in advanced manufacturing among highschool students through trained educators, and improve awareness among STEM community.Regional MissionNorthwest Ohio industry has been experiencing significant growth in advancedmanufacturing/robotics. The Ohio Regional Growth Partnership (RGP) projects faster-than-average job growth for the state’s core STEM occupational groups [14]. In fall 2016, EconomicModeling Specialists Inc. (EMSI) reported advanced manufacturing on the top ten growingindustries in Ohio [14
unless other criteria are not met. A primarypurpose of ABET is to ensure engineers are receiving the skills and competencies needed to besuccessful engineers. With this purpose in mind, engaging ABET representatives in discussionsaround multidisciplinary capstones and how they may fit within ABET criteria may be useful –both for the university as well as for the ABET organization.Therefore, industry-university collaboration may be needed to develop an effective andsustainable multidisciplinary capstone. This collaboration could be facilitated by havingprofessionals from academic and industry work together to best understand and articulate what isneeded from the senior capstone course in terms of multidisciplinary content and skills, and thebest
intersection of science standards, hands-on activities, cultural relevancy, and engineeringthinking, (2) collaborating with industry and university volunteers to design and deliver contentin each science class, and (3) adapting to emergent needs that arise due to school, division, andcommunity differences across three counties.Introduction:The focus of Virginia Tech Partnering with Educators and Engineers in Rural Schools (VTPEERS) is to collaboratively develop curriculum to support teacher-identified knowledge gaps inscience standards and facilitate regular, in-class activities throughout the academic year withengineering-focused, culturally-sensitive design. The project aims for impactful and sustainableintegration of the project goals with state

About 60 participants fromacademic institutions, utilities, industry, labor organizations, and other State agencies discussedvarious strategies, identified their interests, and developed plan of action. Some of the valuablesupport the State is providing is: ≠ Share information gathered statewide regarding benefits and potential opportunities to leverage them; ≠ Assist in gathering data of percentages of the workforce retiring in the next several years in key power grid job categories; ≠ Assist/facilitate creation of internships. Identify Statewide and regional resources thus identifying partnership opportunities; ≠ Assist with Consortium’s evolving mission so that

In ET undergraduate curricula at PVAMU, each major technicallecture course with three-hour is accompanied by a one-hour laboratory course. Throughphysical experiments in the lab, students can achieve better understandings of theories in lecturecourses, and gain experience in real world applications. In order to achieve a sustainableimprovement of laboratory facilities in alignment with current technologies, faculties need toestablish an effective collaboration with industry and funding agencies to seek external resourcesin education enhancement.

In addition to better hands-on laboratories and moreindustry collaborations (involving student projects), industry-sought-after certifications are beingconsidered and will be provided "if appropriate" to help achieve these intentions. In particular,the ET Department has decided that a Six-Sigma “Greenbelt” certification would be a goodcandidate to provide the desired attributes if included as part of the existing Industrial QualityTechnology course. This certification is typically part of “Continuing Studies” non-degreeprograms offered by universities outside the ET degree curriculum, which raises the question, “IsSix-Sigma certification appropriate for the college

The present study (conducted by theauthors of this paper) bridges this first gap by using a mixed-methods approach that includes bothsurveys and semi-structured interviews.The second gap of existing research exists in empirical data because existing studies (conducted byother researchers) focus on the overall experience and skills that students learned in an internship1,3,4,5,8,10,12,13,14 . Although it is important to understand the overall experience of student internships,understanding what specific aspects contribute to the overall experience would help the engineeringeducation community develop more effective approaches for university-industry collaboration.

demand for professionals equippedwith unique skill sets that complement AI systems is surging [1], [2]. To maintain a competitiveedge in this evolving environment, educational institutions must prepare students not only withtechnical knowledge but also with professional skills such as critical thinking, adaptability,creativity, collaboration, and ethical decision-making [3], [4]. These competencies are essentialfor thriving in AI-enhanced workplaces, where traditional roles are being redefined, andinterdisciplinary approaches are becoming the norm. In light of these challenges, the role ofeducators is pivotal in reshaping curricula and teaching strategies to address the gaps betweentraditional education and the demands of AI-driven industries [5
