capabilities of students tosolve practical problems similar to the real world problems. Similar to efforts made by others,this project also provides undergraduate engineering students at the Drexel University with acourse that exposes them to real world applications and customers. It must be kept in mind thatthe industries who have partnered with academia have expressed that they should be activelyinvolved in university’s activities5 for the benefit of both parties. Therefore, an iterative dialoguebetween the industry and LBSA and students at Drexel University is emphasized throughout theproject.The remainder of the paper is divided in four sections. The first section describes the universitycourse taught to undergraduate students in the Mechanical

, they were quite cognizantthat things had changed since they took up teaching, and current professional engineers couldprovide insight into the modern approaches used in practice. Industry advisory boards, employersurveys, and consulting subject matter experts are a few examples of this type of informationsharing.In this same vein, during my days in industry, I have found that many practicing engineers lookto academia as early adopters of the latest and greatest methodologies and technologies. Manyengineers view the academics with a sense that they are the ones doing truly advanced researchthat is out of the grasp of the more practically minded industry engineers. For many, the primaryexposure to professors, or PhD’s in general was during their
