of Prof. Nick Holonyak, Jr. She worked as a member of technical staff at Lytel, Inc., following graduation. At Polaroid, she was appointed a Senior Research Group Leader, responsible for the design of laser diodes and arrays. After leaving Polaroid, she was employed at Biocontrol Technology. She moved into academia full-time in 1997 and worked at the University of Denver, West Virginia University, and Virginia Tech. She is currently the director of the University of Glasgow-University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Electronics and Electrical Engineering programme. While at Virginia Tech, she collaborated with Dr. Robert W. Hen- dricks, with assistance of a number of undergraduate students, to

reasons, we are proposing solutions to bring in changes to attract morestudents to testing careers. This would, in turn, help to improve the quality of the testingeffort and of the software end-products. The next section covers the research design processand includes discussion and conclusion.Research DesignOur study analyzed the reasons for computer engineering graduates not choosing testingcareers. We asked a sample of students to provide pros and cons about the career. Wecompared the pros and cons from students with those provided by test professionals to proposepossible remedial measures. The overall research design is outlined in Figure 1.Objective, Scope, and TypeWhile software engineering is delivering unprecedented performance-to-cost

empirical environments,exposure to industry problems and expertise, and establishing future employment connections forstudents as benefits[6-8]. Industry members cite access to new research techniques, developmentof new products and patents, generating knowledge and advancing technology by using facultyand student expertise, and engaging with potential employees [9-11]. Current literature offersevidence that partnerships generate benefits at both the macro level (organization) as well as atthe micro level (individual student/employee).Yet there appears to be some conflict with research and practice as evidenced by continuedconversations about career readiness of graduates, debate about the skills required for earlycareer success, and high attrition

for increased “relevancy” of engineering educationwith greater industry-academia collaboration on many fronts. It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultymembers, and joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia &the industrial partners) are also addressed. The

idealized systems to which thebasic textbook principles can be applied. This modeling process bridges the gap betweentextbook theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom, and the application of this knowledge tosolving problems in practice. “Research confirmed in the 90s that students learn more bygrappling with open-ended problems, like creating a computer game or designing an alternativeenergy system, than listening to lectures”1. For example, in the area of structural engineering,the process of defining a system involves defining the system geometric model, material model,load model, connection model, boundary and support conditions, and the analysis model. In atextbook problem, all of the above are explicitly given to the student who simply
