Industrial Needs

In facing the industrial era 4.0, college graduates in information and computer science are required to adapt to the developments and needs of current industrial technology. The link and match between the world of education and industry is the key to optimizing the absorption of skilled labor. To answer these challenges, the Information systems undergraduate study program at Institut Teknologi Telkom Purwokerto, SUHU, and T-Lab held a Webinar Series "Link & Match of Information Technology between Academics and Industrial Needs" with the topic of Digital Business Roadmap: Exploring creative digital business ideas. This webinar activity is carried out using a mentoring method as well as sharing new knowledge with participants about Digital Business Transformation and how to explore creative digital business ideas. The result is that participants can understand digital business transformation and then explore creative digital business ideas to be developed in a business proposal.

This chapter reports on the development a formal social mechanism for interaction among female IT role models, such as industry executives and recent college graduates, higher education IT academicians, and female middle school and high school students. The GETSMART (Getting Everyone To Study Math and Related Technologies) program is designed to address the national issue of low female participation in the computer science and information systems fields. The goal of this initiative is to create an innovative educational and mentoring program that encourages women to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The comments of the GETSMART participants serve as a feedback loop to the program executive and academic leaders and indicate the importance of teachers, parents, role models and early STEM experiences in formation of interest in STEM.

Past research has involved various measures of locus of control. In the present study, Rotter's Internal-External (I-E) Scale, Levenson's Internal, Power, and Chance scales and some items from Coleman's study of equality of educational opportunity were administered to northern white and southern black college students. In general, the relationships between the measures did not vary by race or sex. Multiple regression analyses showed that Rotter's I-E Scale was significantly related to Levenson's Chance and Internal scales; Power did not contribute to the multiple R. The correlations of the Coleman items with the Rotter and Levenson scales were low but in the expected direction.

This study surveyed 566 black college graduates for their perceptions for attracting more minority students to the University. Academic programs and location were critical factors noted. A majority (93%) of black alumni rated their educational experience good-to-excellent and 84% indicated they would attend the University again. The study suggests marketing techniques regarding admission should be changed to strategies emphasizing needs of the institution, e.g., use of black alumni, black professors, and black students.

What percentage of Americans have ever had a family member incarcerated? To answer this question, we designed the Family History of Incarceration Survey (FamHIS). The survey was administered in the summer of 2018 by NORC at the University of Chicago using their AmeriSpeak Panel. It was funded by FWD.us, which released a separate report using the data. The data show that 45 percent of Americans have ever had an immediate family member incarcerated. The incarceration of an immediate family member was most prevalent for blacks (63 percent) but common for whites (42 percent) and Hispanics (48 percent) as well. College graduates had a lower risk of having a family member incarcerated, but the risk for black college graduates was comparatively high. The most common form of family member incarceration was the incarceration of a sibling.
