FRIENDS OF ENGINEERING - A POSITIVE CONNECTION WITH INDUSTRY
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Links between schools of Engineering andlocal industry are increasingly important as we movetoward outcomes assessment in the CEAB accreditationprocess. Typically these links have relied on personalrelationships between individuals and their breadth ofimpact has been limited.When the first University of Manitoba NSERC Chairin Design Engineering was launched in 2001, supportwas strong, but relationships tended to be projectfocussed. In 2005, the Manitoba Aerospace EngineeringLiaison Group (MAELG) was established as a means ofelevating the relationship with the Design Chair and toan industry level.Based on the values realized by both the Faculty andthe MAELG members, representatives from all employersof engineering graduates were invited to a series ofmeetings to discuss means of working together. By 2008,an industry owed and financed body known as theFriends of Engineering had been formed with theobjective of providing support to the Faculty. This paperwill define the developmental process, the range ofactivities and future directions of the organization.

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.
