At the technology education level, establishing a partnership andcollaboration with industry can help to address some of these challenges. The advantages ofuniversity-industry partnerships (UIP) are both incredible and numerous. The strength of anyuniversity's program depends on staying relevant to innovative technologies used and currentmarket trends, not only regionally but globally as well.

She investigates this puzzle through three avenues of research. First, she uses quantitative and qualitative approaches to examine inequality in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) professions--specifically, the recruitment and retention of women, LGBT, and under-represented racial/ethnic minority students and practitioners and the role of professional
