FROM COLLEGE TO UNIVERSITY: MOHAWK COLLEGE - McMASTER UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP, A SEAMLESS PATHWAY
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the mid 1960s, Ontario education policy makers recognized the need for an engineering trained individual to fill the gap between high school and university graduates, namely, an engineering technologist. This gap was filled by consolidating existing institutes of technology and creating the Ontario community college system in 1967. However, clear pathways for students to progress from an Ontario college diploma program onto a university bachelor’s degree were extremely limited. In 1997, Mohawk College and McMaster University created a bachelor of technology degree partnership to offer students such an option. This paper will discuss the unique aspects of the collaboration between Mohawk College and McMaster University, with a main focus on the inter-institutional synergies which drive the partnership’s success including: shared facilities and faculty, interdisciplinary co-op placements and joint research programs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
