In this phase, the company enters intoagreements with the University to license any applicable intellectual property (IP) and to licenseVA mentor services. The contacts stipulate the type of services provided, as well as the equityand fees associated with the contracts. In general, the equity earned by VA is significantly largerthan would be earned through licensing alone.As

One of theadditional questions asked MET programs to list their perceived strength(s), particularly thosestrengths attracting new students. We hope these strength data provide information about whattype of manufacturing curriculum attracts students to MET programs. A question pertaining tograduate level degrees was also added to the survey, as the 2005 survey did not specifically askprograms if a M.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology was offered.The graduate starting salary question was modified from a two-part question where a yes/noquestion was followed by a

To complicate mattersfurther many of our students took their introductory programming course at regional communitycolleges. It has been observed that anyone foolish enough to make a programming assignmentalmost surely risks lowering their course evaluation. Borrowing an idiom “the more computingchanges, the more the introductory programming course remains the same.” Can theintroductory programming course be changed to render it more beneficial both to the studentsand the faculty? Can we identify a rationale that allows us to create a more relevant computingexperience? In this paper we make several s regarding the computing experience for engineersand suggest
