The result has been a workforce entrant that has no preparation for many of tasks thatthey are expected to perform. By far the majority of such graduates will enter industry positionswhere they are involved in product development and support, as opposed to research anddevelopment.

offaculty support will be the most important impediment. A university located “in the middle ofnowhere” may find generating nearby sponsors a difficult challenge. Even though projects aregenerated from industry, there must be lab space and technical support on campus to implementthe projects. If there is insufficient laboratory space, it is difficult for students to developappropriate models, mock-ups, software, tools and computer visualization. Most likely, allschools face some elements in all three of these categories.At a school with high research expectations of its faculty, the most significant impediment ismost likely the lack of enthusiasm among faculty for supervising such a course.
