However, this project only covers one year. Industrial partnering can be used to prepareengineering students throughout their scholastic career for an ever-growing industrial setting. Apartnership between a college or university and a company can give students exposure to avariety of industries, allowing them to make well-informed decisions when actively seekingemployment. Such a relationship also has the potential to blossom into a recruiting process forthe college involved. There are an infinite number of ways to
