,courses, seminars, and other educational aids like laboratories. In addition, a “design center” wasrecreated with adequate office space to accommodate the students in a real industrial setting. Anatmosphere of hard work and collaboration among students was created. Energy Engineering and Energy Efficiency were finally the selected research areas. Allpartner companies agreed that under this umbrella they were able to accommodate manydifferent engineering projects, ranging from those heavily oriented to electrical power systemsanalysis in presence of large nonlinear loads, like Electrical Arc Furnaces for the steel makingindustry, to combustion in large steam power plants. Design of new electrical devices, electronics converters

coordinating the curriculum to combine four traditionalundergraduate years with a fifth graduate year to receive stronger analytical training. Theprogram also includes the integration of industrial experience through summer internships andmentoring of industry-sponsored product-oriented projects.BS-MS students follow the normal undergraduate curriculum in ME through their third yearwhile taking two graduate-level classes in addition to the normal BS course load in their fourthyear. Immediately after receiving the BS degree, students are required to work in industry orgovernment laboratories to gain practical work experience while earning academic creditstowards their graduate degree during that summer.

faculty’s time to sustain the effective collaboration andteam work with local industries in the Internship-Senior Design structure. Hiring new facultyand faculty assistants, who can serve as project managers to oversee the Internship and SeniorDesign, has been requested but budget cuts imposed by the State on the university has hinderedthe effort. One positive development is that the university has secured funding to plan a newengineering and science facility to increase instructional and laboratory spaces.5. Concluding RemarksThe Quad Cities metropolitan area has an economy based around heavy manufacturing and astrong historical tie to engineering firms. The School of Engineering has become a valuableresource for providing education and new ideas
