AB  -          Stimulating Broader Industrial Participation in Undergraduate Programs                                         Abstract                        Dr. Bill Heybruck and Ms. Linda Thurman        While engineering and engineering technology students obtain solid academic knowledgeduring their college years, the missing component typically seems to be the ‘real-world’experience that only industry can provide. While common outside activities such as internshipand co-op programs fulfill this void for some students, there are many other ways to incorporateindustry as to enhance the educational experience to the broader student population. Thechallenge is to successfully and quickly create a variety of programs and avenues to engage theindustrial engineering community into the undergraduate program. This paper will present thecurrent menu of programs established at UNC Charlotte for the William States Lee College ofEngineering Students such as Industrial Senior Design, Employer-Mock Interviews, andProfessional Development Presentations. Many of them have been developed at no or very littlefinancial cost to the students, college or companies. Benefits for both the students and industrieswill be highlighted.
