Some argue thatretention is so important it should be used as a college outcomes assessment parameter and that itbe considered a measure of our abilities as faculty and professional engineers to design programsof study that meet market and customer expectations [5]. Historically, engineering enrollmenthas

, their professional demands prevent them from being able to devotetime to ―moonlight‖ as university instructors. Even for those who do, their effectiveness islimited by their lack of teaching knowledge and their isolation from the rest of the faculty. Andthird, simply introducing students to professional practices does not alleviate the challengeassociated with relating and integrating these practices with students‘ academic knowledge. Butsuch integration is necessary if they are to fully benefit from their educations over theirprofessional careers.This paper describes the Industry Fellows model32, a novel attempt at addressing theseinterrelated challenges in an integrated manner. Industry Fellows involves a university facultymember and a

Itis designed for students who do not wish to continue on to a doctorate leading to an academiccareer but rather to enter the workforce with a master’s degree, a degree now viewed by many ashaving displaced the baccalaureate as the terminal engineering degree. These programs put moreemphasis on applied skills as opposed to those more theoretical in nature.
