“…Cooperation between companies and universities has attracted much attention recently because it provides opportunities for graduates to work for companies, providing education and research, while corporations, meanwhile, provide universities with a place to practically test their theoretical research and education (Tener, 1996;Lee, 2000;Slotte & Tynjälä, 2003). Cooperation between universities and companies in this study differs slightly from the norm.…”

The goal of this study was twofold: first, to determine the effectiveness of providing environmental education in collaboration between a company and a university, and, second, to describe perspective that the environmental education community has developed through close communication with stakeholders in environmental education. For the study, we observed the "Green Keeper" project's collaborative progress and collected various quantitative and qualitative data on the project for three years. Participating students' knowledge of and concern for the environment significantly increased after participation in the project (p<.01). We discerned that changes in the children spread to the community as well. Green Keeper project participant satisfaction ranged from 3.52-4.32 over three years, indicating a consistently high level. Satisfaction rose each year because the project steadily evolved through collaboration between the university and the company with additional feedback from the community. This project found several advantages to collaborative environmental education, such as effective community environmental education, encouraging environmental education in schools, and investment in the future of the company.

“…Many construction engineering educators and construction industry leaders realize the value of establishing effective, working industry-university partnerships. The degree to which construction engineering graduates are prepared to perform well in practice can be enhanced by effective industry-university cooperation on such matters as the construction education mission and objectives, curriculum, course content, faculty qualifications and development, resources, co-ops and internships, and other issues (Robert K. Tener, 1996). Bolivar A.…”

In China, the conflict of university talents training program and market demands is increasingly attracting public attention. In order to satisfy the markets, the graduates should have abilities of combining theoretical knowledge with practice. Aiming at the issue of combining theoretical and practical knowledge, this paper takes construction management major students in HNCU as the case to expand research. Based on quantitative study, this paper extracts 3 themes and 10 subthemes through recorded sentences and paragraphs. With further definition of each theme, this paper constructs a theoretical mode consisting of 4 stages in exhibiting the combination processes of theoretical and practical knowledge. Internship provides the platform for students to touch authentic context. Students participating in internship must learn to face random matters which less likely to happen during their traditional theory study. So in these 4 stages, internship plays key role in pulling and pushing the combination of two kinds of knowledge.

“…Homebuilders with the CGP designation have the potential to become more successful at green building because they have learned to identify and adapt to the social, economic, political, environmental, and technological issues affecting green building and their businesses. Industry-university collaboration has been recognized as a value added component of construction management education 8,11 . NAHB Education has created license agreement with university construction management programs to teach professional designations since 2009.…”

The Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has been recognized nationally in the residential construction industry for leading the way in green building and enhancing the professionalism of the residential construction industry. From fall 2009 to spring 2014, NAHB has partnered with ten university construction management programs to teach the CGP profession designation. In this time period, nine CM faculty has taught 21 CGP classes, with 329 students participating in the CGP Training. The addition of the CGP course and professional designation into construction technology education, the contractual relationship between the university and NAHB, the requirements of the educators delivering the courses, and the integration and administration of NAHB industry curriculum into an undergraduate residential construction management specialization program are discussed. This paper answers the question: What lessons have been learned through the incorporation of the NAHB CGP designation courses into construction management programs? A course evaluation survey was conducted at the end of each term to obtain the students' perspectives about the course. The researchers also interviewed the nine faculty who have taught the CGP courses to gain their perspective on the program. The results of the student surveys and faculty interviews are presented and discussed. The researchers discuss the challenges, lessons learned, and future course planning.
