Online tools create a short-term collective memory where ideascan be rapidly improved by many minds.” Industry has top level program goals that may requiremultinational team work and the synergistic support structure of extremely large teams where noone person understands all the systems of systems in detail.There is a growing trend of global, multi-company collaboration within the aerospacecommunity. With the growing maturity of information technology and ever-increasingcomplexity of modern engineering and education, many parent companies form partnershipswith specialty teams in order to facilitate rapid development across all subsystems of a project.For example, the Boeing Company purchases roughly

In today’s global economy, engineeringinnovation is recognized as a continuous, systematic needs-driven process, which is highlydependent upon the provision for lifelong learning, growth, and development of the nation’sgraduate engineers and technologists in industry beyond their entry-level undergraduatebaccalaureate preparation. Because of profound changes in engineering practice for real-worldinnovation, a transformation is underway in the U.S. Science and Engineering (S&E) innovationsystem. A concurrent, nonlinear model of needs-driven systematic engineering innovation, whichis supported by directed scientific research, is replacing the sequential, linear research-drivenmodel of

Student teams of 3-5 pursue adesign problem of their selection from problem finding through prototyping and the presentationof prototypes and the results of testing to engineers from local industry. Integration of patentreview into the course presented the opportunity to enhance design instruction and projectoutcomes by providing students with 1) an additional source of potentially relevant mechanismsand design inspiration, 2

Writing enables us to find out what we know—and don’t know—about whatever we’retrying to learn.”1 This presentation examines a variety of creative and successful strategies forincorporating written, oral, and visual communications into engineering classes. It discusseshow engineering and writing/communications teachers can collaborate in helping students tomaster simultaneously the technical subject matter and communications tasks. This talk alsoassesses potential obstacles to an integrated approach.Although communications exercises and instruction can enhance teaching and learning, how

One of her current projects, in collaboration with the McCombs School of Business, concerns risk-informed asset management for electric and nuclear power generation. The project addresses risk assessment, risk management, and reliability problems that arise in electric power generation. The research seeks to help industry officials make the best operational and executive management decisions by more accurately accounting for seemingly unpredictable issues such as outage duration and regulatory safety constraints, as well as uncertainty related to energy prices, mechanism failures, repair costs and other factors.Kendra Foltz-Biegalski

Teamwork skills are closely linked with communication, as it hasbeen shown that students can improve their communication skills by participating inmultidisciplinary teams (Garcia Lorca et al. 2015). Collaboration with industry in designprojects, such as in the senior capstone design course, is one way in which universities areproviding students with proper communication training. Universities are recommended to buildupon these best practices by connecting with
the question, are today’sengineering students prepared to enter the workforce in this new international teaming environment?Most of the research that reports on geographically distributed teams or virtual teams is performedunder industrial contexts. Thus, research is limited with regards to collaborative or distributed teamsin educational environments (Dym et al. 2015). This is what motivates our study.This paper investigates the challenges and benefits of partnering students located in differentcontinents under a problem-based, innovation driven, engineering-design course. For this, we buildon previous experiences of teaming up students from Chile and the United States, as well as studentsfrom Finland and Mexico. In this second endeavor, we

Additionally, engineering is a discipline dedicated totraining individuals to be adept problem solvers [3]. As Wognum et al. [4] have stated, “manyengineering problems can be characterized as large, complex, and ill-defined, also withunknown outcomes” (p. 754). For instance, integrating perspectives from engineering andsocial sciences is essential for tackling societal challenges. This growing complexitynecessitates a paradigm shift in engineering education to bridge gaps between classroomlearning and industry demands. We believe that integrating transdisciplinary approaches intoengineering education is a possible solution.The aim of this paper is to

By establishing a curriculum that emphasizes thesespecialized areas, educational institutions can equip students with skills and knowledgerequired to address the challenges and opportunities present in the microelectronics and VLSIlandscape.

inspirational. Existing alumni and industrymentorship programs have demonstrated positive outcomes, with students reporting significantpersonal and professional growth, greater career clarity, and reduced stress due to a betterunderstanding of potential career paths [3-5].The benefits of industry mentorship programs extend beyond just the students. A significant gapoften exists between academia and industry, where academic curricula may not fully align withindustry needs, resulting in graduates who lack essential skills required by employers. AsMalhotra suggests, mentorship programs that connect students with industry professionals offer asolution to this challenge. These programs promote collaboration between academia andindustry, supporting
undergraduate students in this research throughindividual and team engineering projects that are offered in design and project courses from firstto senior year. Some of the projects are offered to vertically integrated engineering teams (i.e., ateam composed of first year students, sophomores and juniors); other projects involveinterdisciplinary teams with students from engineering, applied physics, chemistry or biology.This effort sprang from collaboration between the College and a small industrial partner, whoselaboratories are located at the College and whose main technical expert offers support forteaching engineering and physics courses as a research scientist. These efforts have additionaladvantages such as generating collaborations and synergies
to Pursue Engineering Careers in Academia versus Industry: A Case Study of MalaysiaAbstractThe participation of women in engineering in undergraduate programs and in the engineeringworkforce in Malaysia stands in contrast to the systematically low proportions of femaleengineers in the United States. What factors contribute to this marked difference? To begin toanswer this question, the research team considers retrospective personal accounts of careerdecision making of 38 female engineering faculty members and employed practicing engineeralumni (PE) from Malaysia’s top engineering school. We conducted a case study using focusgroups in order to capture descriptions of Malaysian female engineers’ curricular and careerdecisions
