行业学者计划（ISP）是由[[大学]]行业合作伙伴设计的为期一年的计划，于2017年春季首次推出。在ISP计划的第一年，第一年和第二年的本科生通过体验式研讨会，行业实地考察和行业合作伙伴计划和协调的实习介绍了专业技能。第一批27名行业学者在一系列体验式学习研讨会中接触到团队合作，情商和沟通等技能，这些技能是建立在夏季行业实习之前的。在这些实习之后，学生们通过额外的研讨会，行业实地考察和额外的体验式学习，参与了最后一个学期的专业技能发展，之后收集了学生的反馈。ISP规划委员会确定的拟议计划成果全部实现，在描述和讨论预期工程和领导技能的能力，面试能力，自我意识和沟通效率等方面都有显着增长。这项工作介绍了一个行业与大学的合作计划，可以成为全国创新大学和行业的典范，这些大学和行业寻求准备和确保学生具备专业和技术技能，这两者都需要在工程领域蓬勃发展。
The Industry Scholars Program (ISP) is a year-long program designed by [[University]] industry partners and first launched in Spring 2017. In the first year of the ISP program, first and second year undergraduate students were introduced to professional skills through experiential workshops, industry site visits, and internships planned and coordinated by industry partners. The first cohort of 27 Industry Scholars were exposed to skills such as teamwork, emotional intelligence, and communication in a series of experiential learning workshops, which preceded a summer industry internship where those skills were built upon. Following these internships, students engaged in one final semester of professional skill development through additional workshops, industry site visits, and additional experiential learning, after which student feedback was captured. The proposed program outcomes as identified by the ISP planning committee were all achieved, with significant growth in areas such as abilities to describe and discuss expected engineering and leadership skills, ability to interview, self-awareness, and effectiveness at communication. This work introduces an industry-university collaborative program that can be a model for innovative universities and industries across the country seeking to prepare and secure students equipped with both professional and technical skillsets, both of which are required to flourish in their fields of engineering.
