manufacturingfacility is a key ingredient in the educational process of Alliance employees and full-time NSUstudents. NSU offers programs in four general areas: Technician Programs, MaintenancePrograms, Team Leader Programs, and Engineering Technology Programs. The latter two canlead to a Bachelor of Science degree from NSU. For its part, Alliance offers a series ofpromotions and pay raises that are tied to the employee’s completion of specific blocks ofcourses or programs. In this paper, we present the NSU @ Alliance programs, their benefits forthe university and for industry, and the innovative design of the industry/university relationship.Included are discussions of the teamwork used to develop the program and a description of thecooperative work

Session ETD 526 Internship Opportunities for Millennial Students Lucinda K. Fowinkle Austin Peay State UniversityThis paper describes how industry can best aid engineering technology programs through theoffering of internships targeting millennial students. In general, the millennial generation isconsidered to be those who reached adulthood around the turn of the 21st century. This group hasgrown up with electronic devices and is very comfortable with technology. Although they are“tech savvy”, many traditional millennial students entering college directly after
, there is a concerted effort to ensure the student only experiences the same case study(when applicable) only once during their four-year program in the department. This approachensures students experience the full spectrum of formal ethics instruction. This paper reveals thisUniversity’s creative approach teaching ethics, using the aforementioned techniques.IntroductionAt this university, both Electrical (EE) and Computer (COE) engineering programs areaccredited through ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc). BothEE and COE (Bachelor of Science in Engineering) programs were accredited in 2018, and thenext accreditation review is in 2025-2026 academic year.
