], theNational Collaborative Task Force concludes that one size or type of graduate education doesn’t fit all ─thus requiring two very different types of graduate education designed specifically to meet the differentmissions, purposes, and intents of each pursuit which necessitates major reform in engineering graduateeducation for professional practice. But the change that is required to yield a balanced emphasis inengineering graduate education, for both research and creative engineering practice, has been slow infruition ─ and the ‘disconnect’ in U.S. engineering graduate education continues to exist at too manyuniversities across the nation causing a long-term ‘gap’ in the further professional education of thenation’s engineers beyond entry-level in

. Through the 1980’s, New Jersey Institute of Technology, known earlier asNewark College of Engineering, was best known as a primary source of practicing professionalengineers. Through visionary leadership, reasoned planning and goals setting, an engineeringapproach to tactics, quality measures, and strategic resource allocation, NJIT became a majorproducer of graduate degrees, with increasing emphasis on research and the doctorate. Amongits priorities were an increase in graduate program participation in both master’s and doctoralprograms by those traditionally underrepresented in engineering by both ethnicity and gender. Astep-by-step approach is described: data gathering and analysis of student achievement, settingof admission and retention
