the program must meet thresholds set by the academicprograms; these generally amount to having background roughly at the level of a secondsemester sophomore in the major. Assistance for job placement for graduating students ishandled by the University-wide Career Center.Q3: Have you worked (or are now working) in an industry position (other than internship)associated with your major?20% responded “Yes”, 80% “No” overall; 28% of SE Design students responded “Yes” while19% of students in UTDesign responded “Yes” . The percentage of positive responses wouldlikely be significantly higher if the positions were not restricted to be related to the student’smajor. Other sources indicate that working while going to school is pretty common and thatmost

Thisperspective seemed to share a relationship with another weakness that was highlighted byparticipants, which was the weakness in written and spoken communication. Some of thesupervisors highlighted that many STEM employees did not seem to show a strong desire tolearn on the job as they seemed to perceive, that they already knew everything they need to knowand also desired quick and unsubstantiated upward mobility in their careers. This desire forcareer

During the process,faculty serves as student mentors rather than direct knowledge providers. Students areempowered to make decisions and justify their concept selection to different programgroups, i.e. sponsoring industry partners and faculty. The last eight months of each projectis devoted to building a physical prototype and validation of the vehicle targetrequirements.IntroductionTraditional approaches to engineering education in the US have struggled to provide early-career engineers with the skills and experiences needed to succeed in today’s fast changingtechnical fields.

The research questions addressed in theirstudy, as applied to US engineering faculty, would shed interesting light on the effects ofindustry funded research on faculty careers, and create an interesting comparison between the USand
