Such insight is fueling a growing demand for STEM graduateswith data science training. Recently, data science, considered to be a multidisciplinary STEM-related field, was identified by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute ofElectrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Institute for Operations Research and theManagement Sciences (INFORMS) as one of the top degrees needed for the next decade. AsSTEM innovation is increasingly driven by data science, training STEM students in data scienceis critical to keeping our nation’s STEM industries globally

The technology involved in every one of these aspects offers opportunities for engineering schools, bothin teaching and research. To respond to the opportunities the schools need, however, to thinkinterdisciplinarily - combining the skills of electronic engineers, physicists, mechanical engineers, industrialengineers, mathematicians and computer scientists - and to collaborate with the merchandising groups inbusiness schools. They also need to establish close contacts with the merchandising industry.References1. Bugliarello, George, “MetroTech: An Urban, University-Industry Park,” The

Collaborative and interactive features required in simulationsled to the exploration of the incorporation of video game technologies5 into online academiclearning developments. 3D graphic environments allow instructors to teach situations andconcepts of the industrial world by immersing students in an interface that provides the requiredknowledge and experiences.

While early CAD systems were little more than electroniccomputer-aided drafting applications with tools replicating board drafting capabilities, modernthree-dimensional (3D) systems allow engineers and designers to replicate entire manufacturingprocesses and products. When coupled with strong data communication backbones and flexible product datamanagement applications, CAD models are becoming the key knowledge base that leveragesdata throughout an enterprise. Like CAD, the increasing role of data communicationsthroughout an enterprise is changing the way that collaborators communicate within the designchain of dispersed manufacturing industries.

According to [10], co-creation via partnership is defined as all parties being activelyengaged in collaboration and standing to gain from the collaboration. In some partnershipmodels, students and faculty work together to address pedagogical concerns [19].
