criteria for research-oriented faculty.2. The Professional Advancement Path for EngineersIn modern, high technology industries, engineers are a necessary, and a valued resource. Theseengineers create (invent), design, develop, and innovate to produce new / improved /breakthrough technologies. Most of these engineers enter the industrial workplace with aBaccalaureate degree. They progress up the professional ladder to increased compensation, andhigher pay grades as their capability is demonstrated by a progressive gain in their abilities, andnot by seniority. The process of Lifelong Learning for these engineers in industry is verynecessary since the engineering profession is not static, but continues to advance rapidly. Thislearning is composed of
