all feasible- to eliminate red tape, reduce waste, and allow industrial partners to make more effective use of college resources. Contracting or transaction costs are often a major barrier to cooperation between different parties, and many university-industrial activities run aground on the shoals of intellectual property rights. In efforts that are educational in nature it would do the universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (33) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems of local industries along with theirpotential solutions should be focused on, properly framed, and clearly identified inopen forums (e.g. through technical

In many cases, the iteration is discussed as an aside4, 6. In one text, the designiterations is a central theme, but refers to the evolution of products in the market rather thaniterations of prototypes during development 5. All reviewed books present a design matrix as ifmany product concepts were being developed in parallel2, 3, 4, 5, 6, which is interesting given thateconomic analysis shows that it is generally best to focus only on the design most likely to besuccessful23.One area
