Education, 2023 Closing the Gap between Industry and Academia via Student Teams SupportAbstractA well-known challenge in engineering education is the attempt to balance the demands of industryrecruitment with the core needs of an already packed engineering curriculum. Due to timeconstraints, real-world examples and other learning opportunities that aim to develop andconsolidate the industry-desirable skills can be difficult to include in the curriculum. One way toaddress this challenge is to collaborate with industry (for example, on capstone projects, studentteam challenges, etc.) while the students are still studying. A place for these collaborations, whichcan provide benefit for both parties, is through student competitions. Student

EducationAbstractThe Electromechanical Engineering Technology program at Alfred State College requires asequence of two courses in embedded systems. Embedded Controller Fundamentals andEmbedded Controller Applications. Both courses involve hands-on, project oriented laboratoryexercises. For the embedded controller courses, students are required to purchase a specified low-cost microcontroller evaluation system instead of a textbook. A reasonable priced reference text isrecommended, and students are strongly encouraged to use extensively the online manualsavailable from the microcontroller manufacturer. Among the many benefits that we have identifiedby requiring students to buy their own microcontroller system is that they learn to be more carefulwith safety
Laboratory for Computer Integrated Manufacturing CoursesI. IntroductionThis paper describes the development of an online laboratory for students in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) courses. Computer-Integrated Manufacturing is acomprehensive topic taught in a 400 level course to senior undergraduate students, and in a 600level online course to graduate students. Teaching computer-integrated manufacturing coursescan be a challenge because of the breadth of topics spanning from manufacturing technology toelectronic technology and computer technology which encompasses concepts frommanufacturing processes such as modeling and milling, to manufacturing automation systemsand manufacturing information management

been published on the topic. Students give a variety of reasons forending their graduate programs prior to graduation. Whatever the reason for quitting theprogram, the results have a negative effect on all involved. Students choosing to begin a Ph.D.program are usually unaccustomed to failure. Leaving the program without completing thedegree remains a difficult memory for most throughout their lives. Faculty members, who haveinvested money and time in the graduate student, also feel a distinct sense of loss when a studentleaves without a degree. Not only have they lost an investment, they often feel the loss of afriend, a sense of guilt that they could not do more for the student, and a sense of loss ofpotential future collaborations. Then
Session 3215 Role of Computing: Educators' Perspective Robert J. O’Neill, Robert M. Henry, Thomas A. Lenox United States Military Academy/University of New Hampshire/United States Military AcademyAbstract Two surveys were conducted by the Education Committee of the Technical Council on ComputerPractices (TCCP) of ASCE during 1995 to assess the computing needs of the civil engineering profession.The two surveys were targeted at two different segments within the civil engineering profession: educatorsand practitioners. This paper presents the findings of the survey directed to civil

Student comments are included from thefirst offering of the program in 2008.IntroductionThis paper summarizes the development of a study abroad program to China where civilengineering students learn by experience. Consider some of the benefits of learning byexperience. Experiential learning increases retention, creates passion, and develops perspective.Some things can only be learned by experience. Once, while the author was lecturing histeenage son for a foolish misdeed, his son interrupted him with a surprisingly profoundstatement, "Dad, leave me alone....sometimes you just got to be young and stupid before you canbe old and wise".
