Another reason education institutions seek collaborative relationships with businessesis to promote advancement of knowledge by improving the quality of instruction and research.Businesses enter cooperative relationships first of all to meet corporate product, service, ormanagement needs.”1 While there are some potential hazards to this, the possible benefits aretoo great to ignore.First, let us look at some of the potential or perceived drawbacks to collaborations.Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Charles Vest, while testifying before the UnitedStates House of Representatives in 1998, stated “Over the long term, (private) collaborations canhave a transforming effect on the ability of

asked to rate the performance of each team with regards to a)performance on task assigned to the team and b) willingness to assist other teams. The approachto assessment relieved the stress of some students around interdependence on fellow teammembers. They had comfort in the fact that they would have a voice in assessing theperformance of other team members and thereby mitigating against slackers.With functional teams in place, organizing the work began with the creation of a workbreakdown structure (known as the WBS) and establishing a responsibility matrix. The WBSwas formed around the various work areas of the plant while the teams were created according tothe equipment types to be moved. Prime responsibility for a work area was given to

Graduate Students as Co-Instructors for an Undergraduate Course: Implementation and AssessmentAbstractThis work suggests one method to fully expose graduate students to the demands ofteaching an undergraduate course under the supervision of a full-time faculty member.The students, called co-instructors, interact with the supervisor on various levels fromcourse design to the grading schemes. Based on the feed back received from the students,it was concluded that this type of interaction provided a useful learning experience forboth the undergraduate students and the co-instructors.IntroductionThe primary purpose of an engineering college, especially at the undergraduate level, isto provide effective instruction in subject matter

In addition, the laboratoryexercises developed for each course using the apparatuses are discussed. The experiments weredeveloped using simple, practical devices. The experiments developed center around (a) adorm-sized refrigerator, (b) a small industrial heat exchanger, (c) a cooking wok, and (d) a high-intensity commercial light fixture. These are all devices that students have either encountered ineveryday life, or can easily connect with.

These principles, referred to as“KEYS” in his essay, are: a) promoting individual and group accountability; b) usingassignments that link and mutually reinforce individual work, group work, and total classdiscussions; and c) adopting practices that stimulate give-and-take interaction within andbetween groups.Application of the Theory:This type of interaction can be facilitated by dividing students into small groups of five orsix and assigning chapters within the text. These teams of students are then divided intoexpert groups one through five. After each individual reads the
