Industry Day
Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Industry Day at the ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition is Tuesday, June 12, 2012. More than 100 corporations and not-for-profit organizations comprise the ASEE Corporate Member Council (CMC) in support of its mission to foster, encourage and cultivate the dialogue between industry and engineering educators. The 2012 Industry Day opens with a joint networking breakfast organized by the Collage Industry Partnership Division and the CMC. Industry Day follows with a full day of sessions aimed at advancing the dialogue on key topics of interest and wraps up with a reception jointly sponsored by the Engineering Deans Council, CMC, and Engineering Technology Council.

In 2012, the CMC is taking a big-picture, systemic look at US STEM education. A number of nationally-recognized panelists will explore national policies and actions, innovative models of K-12 STEM education and expected demands for engineering schools in preparing a diverse globally competent engineering workforce. The focus question is "How is the US educational system stepping up preparing a larger and more diverse group of K-12 students for engineering degrees and how can engineering schools anticipate and successfully respond to increased future demands from a new student demographic?
