Introduction Even early in the lifecycle of an academic change project, change agents may find that theirrelationship to change theory is far more complex than simply selecting a theory and translating itdirectly into practice. Change agents not only need to select change theories that align with their vision,but also to adapt the theory into a pragmatic framework to fit their social context and meet the myriadneeds of administration, faculty, students, and other academic stakeholders. Further complicating useof theory in academic change projects is the substantial number of theoretical frameworks availablethat can be applied to academic change. These include frameworks that typologize different process-oriented approaches to change (e.g
. IntroductionEngineering curricula have traditionally been developed around fundamental engineering coursesand this has resulted in programs prioritizing simple problem-solving activities over open-endedproblem-solving and integrative design learning experiences [1], [2], [3]. Although manyengineering schools have cornerstone and capstone projects that contain significant designopportunities for students in the first year and senior year, respectively [4], there is a need toscaffold student’s design skills throughout an entire curriculum [5].A critical need in curriculum development is the ability to assess student design knowledge. In theengineering education literature, there have been numerous studies that reformulated engineeringprograms or developed design

The approach involves complementary engagement of a technicaladvisor, a course instructor, a course facilitator, and an industry sponsor. The technical advisorensures that the project synthesizes and applies technical knowledge (e.g., engineering design,software, analysis, prototyping, testing, project management, etc.) as taught in the sophomoreand junior years. The course instructor is responsible for overall guidance, scheduling,assignments, team set-up and coordination, and assessment.

There are no more lectures.Instead, on a repetitive two-week schedule, a small group of nominally 12 students meets twicewith a tutor. During the first meeting, students try to solve a given problem with the knowledgethey have already acquired and identify what new knowledge is required to fully solve it. Then,they go on to studying and applying their new knowledge. To help them organize their knowledge,we ask them to draw concept maps and procedural maps. During the second meeting, the problemis summarised and solved, using the new knowledge acquired during the first week. As support,students can use only maps they

. Howeverthis relationship becomes closely tested when industry and academia endeavor to work togetheron joint projects, especially if a courtship period is cut short or bypassed in the interest ofexpediency. Fissures may show up as a result of the difference in cultures, objectives,expectations and the “internal clock speed” of each organization.3Joint Industry University ProjectsThe key to a successful working relationship with industry is the mutual recognition of the"Operating Cycles" of business and the university, and the motivation on both sides to achieve acommon goal. Business cycle is often driven by quarterly performance, new productintroduction, and organized efforts to improve manufacturing. The company operating cycle isinfluenced by
