the benefits and challenges of creating a customized ABET-accreditedengineering program and presents a case study of such a development for a large multinationalcompany. A brief review of the engineering program’s structure is provided as it plays animportant role in being able to successfully adapt the degree to the needs of the company. Thecase study explains the university-company planning process, how criteria were developed forthe program design and customized aspects of the degree program. The case study also exploresthe difference in program expectations of the industry partner from those of the University,including student preparation, and how these differences were resolved. The case study showshow the planning process moved from

theCivil Engineering Department, Electrical Engineering Department, and Mechanical EngineeringDepartment. In the year 1968, the Department of Architecture was established which laterbecame a college in 1984 under the name of College of Architecture and Planning. In 1974, twonew departments were established, namely the Chemical Engineering Department and PetroleumEngineering Department. In 1988, surveying engineering was established as a program in theCivil Engineering Department. In 1982, an industrial engineering program was established in theMechanical Engineering Department. Later on, the program became the Industrial EngineeringDepartment in 2002. Accordingly, there are currently six departments offering Bachelor ofScience Degree in the

engineering education to the engineering workforce.The EPS study used a sequential, exploratory mixed-methods design, where findings frominterviews with 30 early career engineering graduates were used to develop the Pathways ofEngineering Alumni Research Survey, or PEARS, instrument34-35. PEARS was designed withtwo goals: (1) to identify the educational and workplace factors that most influence engineeringgraduates’ initial and future career plans, and (2) to develop a better understanding of their earlycareer work, experiences, and perspectives.To achieve the first goal, PEARS was framed in Social Cognitive Career Theory, or SCCT,which posits that career goals and actions are influenced directly by self-efficacy, outcomeexpectations, and interests

the TLO will be due diligence. Their goal isgenerally to get the technology on the market as quickly as possible, and ideally, being producedin their local economic region, not only returning royalties, but creating more jobs. It isreasonable for the company to develop a business plan and some terms are tied to hittingmilestones in that plan. The TLO should be willing to renegotiate if milestones are missed forlegitimate reasons, but they will want diligence to be built in. Page 23.791.8Another important term will be for the PI to have the ability to publish. The PIs at mostinstitutions are judged, and rewarded, for scholarly publications

exposed to a potential employer; the industrial company plans to interviewsome of those students for positions.Lessons LearnedThe focus in this section is on the lessons learned from this multi-institution partnership. Lessonslearned from the course taught by the industrial company at a local university are givenelsewhere.17 There were some important lessons learned from the collaboration described here.The first is to ensure the video recordings are of adequate quality. The first lecture was recordedwith the instructor using the standard projector and screen installed in the classroom. As seen inFigure 3, the video recording quality using the projector and screen was not as good as desiredby the multimedia company. The projected image on the
