Over the past 30 years, he has conducted field research on the practice of engineering design, new product development and innovation in variety of industries, in large and small firms with an emphasis on design thinking, most recently in relation to sustainability. He also studies engineering education as a complex system, and the design and evaluation of next generation learning environments.

Graduate educationmust reflect this change, understand the new relationships between customer needs, directedscientific research, and engineering/technology leadership. For the U.S. to sustain globalcompetitiveness, traditional graduate studies must undergo educational reform. The three broadmandates for this collaborative effort are: • To create new models of needs-driven, professionally oriented graduate education through the master and doctoral levels that better support engineering and technology innovation. • To involve industry and government as key partners in

One primary goal of the projectwas to determine the feasibility and practicality of arranging course projects at bothinstitutions involving collaboration between engineering students and engineeringtechnology students. Although there were a number of technical hurdles encounteredduring this initial effort, the pilot program was successful in demonstrating the potentialof the concept as a tool for providing non-collocated engineering and engineeringtechnology students with an educational experience, based on an industry model, whichfamiliarizes the students with differences in typical job functions between engineers andtechnologists, while also providing them with

One of the enterprise groupsthat have demonstrated these dynamics and traits is ITOxygen, a student-run informationtechnology enterprise team that focuses on emerging technologies and their applications inbusiness, organizational, and academic settings. Team members collaborate to problem-solve awide variety of technology and communication problems that are facing industry today. Since its inception in 2000, ITOxygen has made consistent progress in constructing areputable and successful enterprise program that has become recognized and supported byseveral areas of industry

However, according toBrauchle12, if a graduate student takes only more technical courses, then what value is added?Accrediting agencies are putting pressure on Engineering Technology programs to maketeaching more industry-oriented. One way in which this can be accomplished is throughcollaborative research and development between faculty and industry to improve products4.Collaborative applied research work by the faculty at the State University of New York Instituteof Technology, in cooperation with local businesses, helped to increase the students

Many educational models try to foster collaboration skillsby using student teamwork15, because this helps students learn from diverse perspectives andlearn to work together as they will do in the real world. But the type of collaboration that is trulyboundary-breaking (and therefore transformative) goes beyond simple class project teamwork. The ERC Program promotes BBC through the design of research centers as hybrid, multi-institutional organizations. Typically, multiple universities and industry partners, and sometimesgovernment agencies, are key partners who actively work together to design and implementcomplex research projects. Students are involved in every aspect of this, and often act astranslators across these boundaries

This paper outlines the project underway to build an efficient multi-media network with the 19campuses via Internet to communicate, distribute, and acquire curriculum related multimedia informationfor the first-year design course. This network would provide access to course material currently used at thecampuses as well as to resources that will enhance the future course content. The network will also providevideo-conferencing capabilities and on-line “chat” capabilities to collaborate with industrial partners.Introduction The 19 campuses of the Penn State Commonwealth Education System provide an

The project,now in its second year, involves the development of a microwave curing process for polymercoatings on instrument woods. The first year involved two groups of students: three materialsscience and engineering majors from Virginia Tech and two acoustical engineering majors fromthe University of Hartford. The students worked independently on senior projects at theirrespective universities, but collaborated and shared materials and knowledge. The academic yearculminated

The author, being personally motivated from nearlytwo decades of industry experience in engineering management and leadership roles, hasattempted to help students develop these important skills in one upper division course in thecontext of using a systems approach to vehicle design.A systems approach to vehicle design is essential in a competitive environment, especially intimes of financial strain. The complexity of systems on modern vehicles requires the concurrentinvolvement of multiple disciplines in order to shorten development cycles and reducedevelopment costs. This is possible if development is done in a common framework providing acommon communication platform for all disciplines. One such

The entrepreneurship track includes entrepreneurialmindsets developed by KEEN (Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network framework) [4]. Theindustry track includes resources provided by the university career center. The research trackincludes resources provided by the faculty instructors. The faculty could introduce them toindustrial collaborations as well as university research labs once they become competent in thefields of their interests. Case studies are presented in this paper.2. MethodologyFigure 1 shows the framework consists of three distinctive tracks

In addition to these corecourses, students also take Chemistry, Physics I and II, and Calculus I and II, which are offeredthrough the College of Arts and Sciences. Since the authors’ previous publication on the program,the curriculum has been adjusted to better meet the needs of all regional campuses.
