, 10 students are admitted to PSPE each year.Figure 2 shows the cumulative totals for enrollees, interns, and hires. The conversion rate is asignificant figure of merit to TI and is a prime driving force for continued support. In order toshow TI’s assessment of program outcomes and return on investment, we provide a statementfrom Mr. Mark Gary who is the Business Unit Manager for Linear Power. There are several advantages TI gains from the program. In general, TI recruits from a wide range of domestic and international universities. What stands out is an overall lack of knowledge of what product engineering is and what the job role entails. A large majority of EE graduates all believe they want to be IC designers due the curriculum

Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering within the Herff College of Engineering at the University of Memphis. Prior to his academic career, Russomanno was employed by Intergraph Corporation, Pratt and Whitney Aircraft, and Michelin Tire Corporation as an engineer. Russomanno has secured several million dollars in ex- tramural funding for basic and applied research, as well as for initiatives to improve the recruitment and retention of STEM students. Sponsors of his research include the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, the U.S. Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, the U.S. Army Redstone Technical Test Center, as well as numerous sponsors from the
examined the nature of theseexperiences and the primary learning experiences of the students participating in these projects.BackgroundABET Criterion 5 Curriculum section states that “Baccalaureate degree programs must provide acapstone or integrating experience that develops student competencies in applying both technicaland non-technical skills in solving problems.”2. A short search of ASEE Conference papersvariously defines the goal of the Capstone experience is “to integrate the engineering andmanagement disciplines into a single comprehensive educational experience”3,“to provide abridge for the students to cross between the academic world on one side and the technicalprofessional world on the other”4, to “provide an extensive platform to
andeffort, this type of collaboration blurs the line between industry and university and offers a morecomprehensive integration. With administrative assistance, courses can often be adapted to bestfit the advisory board member’s schedule, such as being offered in evenings or in a shortenedtime (single credit hour versus standard three credits, five weeks versus full semester, etc.).Although the subjects were not described as IAB members, Varma5 offered several case studiesof how industry professionals can be successful as part-time, “clinical” instructors. An advisoryboard member from the author’s program also was on the board of a neighboring institution, andtaught a class on leadership there that was very successful and enrollment had to be

80.9 percent to86.5 percent.1The EcO15 initiative also created a program called the Seamless Pathway that endeavored tocreate certain pathways from high school to college to employment in one of the three main localindustries (manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality/tourism). As part of that program, PurdueUniversity faculty members are engaged with teachers and students at two of the local highschools with an emphasis on assisting students entering the manufacturing fields. A facultymember is team-teaching a PLTW course called Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM).Teachers and students spend a part of the year on the local campus utilizing computer numericalcontrol (CNC) and measurement tools not available on the high school campus

university, their two engineering schools have a lot of common ground.Both are primarily undergraduate institutions, offering master’s programs, but no doctoraldegrees. Greater emphasis is given to teaching rather than to research. Each also emphasizespractical experience, with mandatory co-op job placements woven through the curriculum in a“one academic semester, one work semester” fashion. In both of these roles I taught manycomputer aided design and computer aided engineering courses (CAD/CAE), but thrown into themix were also classes in engineering graphics, design, solid mechanics, machine design, and thelike. By the time I left GVSU, I had become a permanent tenure track faculty member.Perceiving that an industrial job might offer me a better
