工程技术专业要使教师跟上各自领域的新发展,一个更有效的方法是灌输教师实习计划。研究表明,教师工业安置是终身学习的一个组成部分,有助于保持和扩大技术技能1。在田纳西州中部州立大学(MTSU)的实习计划,完全由工业咨询理事会支持,是建立一个非常简单和无纸化的过程。每学期都有一名教师在当地一家企业担任工程师,并继续从大学领取正常工资。反过来,该行业偿还大学用兼职教师取代教师的费用。由于教师是作为承包商受雇于东道国公司,他/她保留了大学的就业福利。本文介绍了教师工业实习的后勤细节,对工业和大学的优势,以及作者作为一名教师实习生的个人经历。
One of the more effective ways for the engineering technology programs to keep faculty abreast of the new developments in their respective fields is to instill a faculty internship program. Studies have shown that faculty industrial placement is a component of life-long learning that helps to maintain and expand technological skills1. The internship program at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), fully supported by the industrial advisory council, is set up to be a very simple and paper-free process. Every semester one member of the faculty spends the entire semester working as an engineer at a local industry and continues to draw his or her normal salary from the university. The industry, in turn, reimburses the university for the cost of replacing the faculty with adjunct faculty. Since the faculty member is employed as a contractor in the host company, he/she retains the employment benefits from the university. This paper describes the logistical details of faculty industrial internships, advantages to the industry and the university, and the personal experiences of the author as a faculty intern.
