College-Industry (C-I) Perception: “Big deals, small data,SMART “university” connectedness" M.D. Wilson Michele Summers Dr. Tatiana V. Goris, PhD James A. Gordon College of Technology Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 USAABSTRACTCollaboration on campuses, business or collegiate, is essential to improving innovationacross the street or across the globe. This paper will explore the use of Interactive WhiteBoards (specifically SMART Boards) to connect faculty expertise, in-class experiencesand real-world projects. A laboratory established in the Purdue Research Park exploresthis potential. The dynamics of collaboration and the ubiquity of information is stifling tosome and stimulating to others. Why? What is the perception for satisfaction ordissatisfaction of collaborative technological tools in industry; and in addressingcollaboration for the 21st century, in order to foster innovative power, is it a C-I challengewith technological foundations.Specifically in this paper, the authors survey two sets of industry leading upper-levelmanufacturing management groups using hands-on, Interactive White Boardcollaboration (IWB). The goal is to measure the impact of technology, perception ofusers, and ways to maximize collaboration between business/industry andcolleges/universities. This approach focuses on a mixed-methodology to assist indetermining whether any disconnects for change are an outcropping of technology. Afterall, global innovation is paramount to future successes. Our lab sees the paradigm ofPracademics – a cross between Practice and Academics as a way to afford best practiceswithin College-Industry collaboration and for collaboration at-large.KeywordsCollege-Industry Partnerships, SMART, Collaboration, Perception / Satisfaction, Technology
