social networks argued that patterns of tie dissolution mimicthe influence of homophily in the creation of ties-- “tie formation” -- but in a weaker way. Themajor argument of McPherson et al. (2001) is that people with certain qualities such as age,gender, race, class and educational background tend to interact with people like themselves.In the context of research collaboration, Dahlander and McFarland (2013) reviewed the detailedinformation on interorganizational collaboration using a longitudinal dataset of facultycollaborations at Stanford University between 2003 and 2007, and asserted that homophily, tiestrength, and multiplexity influence repeated interaction and persistence. Granovetter (1973)defined the strength of interpersonal tie as

In this case study, we will explore how aregional incubator, Euratechnologies, and an education partner, Stanford University and itsCenter for Professional Development (SCPD), worked together to create a uniqueindustry/university partnership.Founded in 2009, Euratechnologies, an IT ecosystem (incubator, accelerator, enabler) inLille, France, has become one of the fastest and most attractive hubs for high technologystart-ups in Europe (the 3rd best accelerator in 2015 Fundacity European Ranking). It wascreated and supported by the Lille Nord region to revitalize the community and spur hightechnology innovation and entrepreneurship.

- commercialization pathways and timelines. Universities have largely providedthe science and engineering curricula and research support driving the technical capabilities andaspirations of delivering these innovations for broad clinical use. However, engineeringcurricula have fallen woefully short for one particular consideration, namely, the explosion ofnew or changing regulations, and their impact and application throughout all critical stages of thebiomedical product development lifecycle and, holistically, throughout the technical biomedicalbusiness. This deficiency grounds the failure of universities to consistently and reliably bridgethe gap between what the engineer learns in school and what they must do on the job in aregulated industry, to

A formerstudent, working in industry, emailed to describe the effects of processes and tools on his career: “Even though I (we) complained during our software engineering class about the tedious paper work that was required for our projects, it was by far one of the most accurate representations of a ‘real world’ work environment. The processes that we underwent in your class to develop a project (especially scoping it out) have given me a leg up on my peers. I have come to understand that the (good) developers spend roughly 65
with this characteristic tended to havelower interest in traditionally taught math classes. They perceived these traditionally taught classesto inhibit their own thinking and agency. These students had higher levels of satisfaction inreformed math courses where students worked together to solve math problems. In contrast,students who identified as good rule-followers had the opposite experience in a reform-orientedclassroom. In another study, “Inez,” a student who wished she “belonged more in this wholeengineering thing,” illustrated the disenfranchising experiences of particular students withalternative ways of thinking20.

ofproductive student work out of the 10-week quarter, forced teams to rush their efforts at the endof the quarter, and was not acceptable.Now with project tracks, assignments are supplemented by the registration process. Each track isassigned a separate class number, so registering for that class is essentially bidding on the track itrepresents. This allows a committee to place the students in individual projects within the track(when possible) prior to the start of classes. When MSD meets for the first time, studentsalready know what team they are on, and have read and understood the PRP posted on EDGE.This has virtually eliminated the two-week start up time that was required in the past.B.

problem-solvers.The demand for the engineering mindset to grow and develop as problem-solvers, requiresadditional skills such as entrepreneurship, leadership, and communications. Engineeringentrepreneurship and engineering leadership programs have proliferated in recent years. Despitethis, there is less emphasis on communication skills and intercultural competence, which areessential for many additional skills. Approaches to STEM curriculum design in Asia includeimplementing intercultural awareness and communication competencies, as the relationshipbetween employability and professional skills is well studied, adapted, and implementable.This paper proposes a process for building an engineering-focused communications course thatcan be tailored and
