International Conference
on Engineering Education
ICEE-2003
Valencia, Spain, July 22-26, 2003
12. CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop: Coalition between
Industry and Academia toward Enhancing Engineering Education and Research
The primary objective of
this workshop is to discuss the interaction between industry and universities
toward advancing engineering education and research. The workshop is designed
to highlight the methodology, concepts, and subjects of industry-university
interaction. We solicit papers and presentations that address some or
all of the above themes. A follow-up open discussion will focus on future
strategies to bring together industry and university in engineering education
and research. We wish to encourage participation of teams of industry-university
partners and individual experts and proponents of industry-university
partnership.
Following is a summary of
the key motivations for this workshop:
· The ability of a
university as an economic engine is yet to be fully explored
· The intellectual creativity of university faculty and students
needs to be explored
· The shift of R&D infrastructure from industry (especially
small to medium enterprises) to university
· The need to prepare future engineers with specific talents/capabilities
that meet the challenge of industry. What has been implemented toward
this challenge? What will be the implications to the curriculum reform,
research enterprises, and corporate restructuring?
· What is the role of the university to re-training of the industrial
workforce? Any examples?
· What are the functionalities of business incubators, tech transfer
offices, and research parks toward I/U partnership
· What are the new meanings of endowment, internship, co-op, scholarships,
fund raising?
· What are the expectations for our students from the common perspectives
of university, industry, and government? How are these expectations translated
into the policy, curriculum, and business practices?
· How does one assess the functionality of the I/U partnership?
