classes. This is challenging forclasses that incorporate hands-on/laboratory based content. The systems that are required can beprohibitively expensive and difficult to maintain. Close partnerships with one or more industrial Page 24.1298.3partners can allow universities to provide laboratory experiences to closely approximate the real-world work environment.HistoryTo begin the discussion of an electrical engineering program at Texas Tech University (TTU), ahistorical overview is provided. In 1996, Texas Instruments’ (TI) analog business was growingrapidly and needed to add a number of well-qualified analog electrical engineers. TI was

board member participation in courses and laboratories,capstone courses, accreditation, student organizations, student competitive teams, and facultydevelopment. Through this examination of the program’s efforts, other engineering educatorswill be able to build upon their successes and avoid some of their difficulties while involvingtheir industry advisory board members in other ways.IntroductionEngineering programs from all disciplines rely on their industry advisory board (IAB) membersto help ground curricula in the current and future needs of the profession. This “real world”advice can be invaluable to balancing theory versus application in the classroom, help programsstay abreast of technological and other trending factors in the workplace

understanding of design andmanufacturing processes, good communication skills, a multi-disciplinary, systems perspective,a basic understanding of the context in which engineering is practiced, and a profoundunderstanding of the importance of teamwork18. An annual survey of manufacturing educatorsand professionals finds that co-operative education and internships continue to be theoverwhelming priority for practitioners. In a complimentary sense, project and design work is Page 24.253.4favored by academics, and practitioners second that opinion. Laboratory and teamwork alsoreceive special mention. In total these illustrate the importance of education

an employer. When I was in a management position at the NationalSuperconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, I had the luxury of building my own team from theground up, and this included hiring many co-ops through the years. In my current position, wealso have a fair number of co-op students and interns, although they do not report to me.A perspective that I have developed from both sides of the fence - academic and industry -regarding student workers is in regards to expectation setting. It has been my experience thatstudents have unrealistically high expectations when it comes to the work assignments that theythink they should be getting during their co-op experiences. The reality is that student workersare often viewed as a source of cheap labor
