It further endorses integrating advanceduniversity graduate studies with experience and the practice of engineering to better facilitatefuture technology development. This would involve nonresearch based advanced degreeprograms that include such topics as strategic thinking, leadership of multidisplinary teams,system thinking, innovation in engineering, as well as specific technical subject matter expertise.Creation of a national network of universities delivering such a life-long learning curriculum isessential

The course should notonly serve the academic and curriculum requirements, but also introduce the students to thesector (e.g., tours, industry speakers, and hands-on laboratory exercises). The three conclusionsare: that proximity to the manufacturing sector for students and campuses is significant, thatinternships and cooperative learning experiences are significant, and that faculty andadministration involvement are vital.A major conclusion of the work presented here is that there is a significant difference in studentsfrom campuses near more manufacturing

Since 1971 WPI has been a leader in using noncourse-based project curricula to teach humanities, integrate societal and technological issues, and to provide a capstone design/research experience within the major discipline. We wanted to instruct future faculty in how to properly design and conduct these project structures.

The same cannot be said for mechanical systems where the mechanical compo-nents are often taught, but are rarely used in mechanical and manufacturing control courses. Theiruse is also rapidly diminishing for use in controlling actual systems.Linear and Logical control courses can be compared, as shown in table 2 below

However, ourgreatest challenge has been finding a balance between the traditional content-oriented goals ofengineering (e.g. foundational knowledge, application, and integration) and the more student-oriented goals we have introduced (e.g. self-realization, identity and values formation, and self-directed learning). Introducing project-based and service learning has meant that there is lesstime available for instruction in content and application. Our faculty members regularly discussthis issue, but we suspect it will be an ever-present tension as we strive to bring the highestquality education possible to our students.ConclusionThe panel session will have presented panelists
