offour semesters at IRE, the students are required to write four technical reports describing allaspect of the design projects in addition to writing business plan, personal improvement plan andexperiment reports for all the technical competencies. The IRE students graduate with a Bachelorof Science in general engineering from Minnesota State University, Mankato.The goal of the program is to producing graduates with significant integrated technical andprofessional knowledge and skills who will help the economic development of the region. Themajority of the student learning occurs in the context of industry engineering projects, in contrastto the traditional distinctly topical engineering classes. The IRE program values skills such asstrong

Still, it possessed strong and admirable attributes that help comprise the TCEPmodel presented here.The second source is a compilation and synthesis of the strengths of over 650 technicalcontinuing education programs operated by other national and international organizations. Theseare articulated by nine universities with successful, high-quality distance learning continuingeducation program experiences with these same organizations.The criterion for selection for strengths within the TCEP model
