Decide first--what are the knowledges and skills you want students to have when they graduate-i.e.:

  • Ability to teach themselves
  • Knowledge of how to use tools and test equipment
  • etc
Technical areas sometimes take second place to a "can-do" attitude, excellent communication skills, and the initiative required to teach oneself. Meetings with the Industry Advisory Board occur once per semester. Close ties with industry through the coop program, research and consulting, and alumni interactions provide valuable feedback on the program about the skill sets required to function in a working environment...."
