Abstract

Engineering educational projects with regional industry have influenced creation of Florida's First Coast Manufacturing Innovation Partnership. The development of the joint industry-academia collaboration has the primary goals of project-centered innovations for technology transfer, training the regional workforce with relevance to industry, and sustainability of technology transfer through creation of high-technology jobs, By providing an experiential education in manufacturing systems automation and design in undergraduate engineering curriculum, engineering students are better prepared upon entering the workforce. Projects comprising the development of the Manufacturing Innovation Partnership are outlined which describe project-centered engineering education in design and manufacturing systems engineering.
