for continuous engineering education would be the creation of aseamless value chain in which a college of engineering would coordinate activities that benefitstudents from age 5 to 105. In such a value chain, alumni and other area technical professionalswould have access to non-credit opportunities for professional development that local, regionaland other employers actively support. Through such an inclusive ecosystem, we could deploy ametaphor of a system of systems of value-added activities that supports learning among K-12,college, graduate school, and engineering professionals. A university’s college of engineeringcan create a unique role for itself by brokering such activities. In this role, the need for marketfeedback for process

Many of the industry-academia collaborations occurred in the form ofco-ops 13. The reader may notice that the students did not work at any time for PNM andwere not exposed to industry interactions. However, through the partnership, the facultyand students got access to state-of-the-art data that became the foundation for severalresearch opportunities and curriculum development. This is very important because thecurriculum can be reused for several more years beyond the end date of the servicecontract. In general, the literature does not include many examples of industry-academypartnerships with an emphasis on curriculum

By understanding thecurrent state of affairs, a path forward was developed that highlighted the components which fitinto the new vision and those that needed to be modified in order to build a common pathforward. The new vision needed to be communicated clearly and reinforced through action.

true tacit knowledge. While they do provide some ongoing support, furtherwork in this area is needed to avoid a gap in knowledge and potential future operational issues.Knowledge document and data systems were found to be robust and trusted as all questionsrelating to them were passed. These areas relate to explicit and basic information regarding plantoperation and statistics which can be used in training new employees. As a new employee beginsto move beyond surface understanding, they will potentially struggle through poor culture, a lackof tacit knowledge, and expertise management. The culture within the utility regardingknowledge sharing is weak. The questionnaire indicates that sharing is neither willingly norregularly practiced, and

that STEM education needs to be comprehensive in its approach in orderto attract more students and retain them as observed in the Memphis STEP (STEM TalentExpansion Program) program (Windsor et al., 2015). Memphis STEP shows the nature of acomprehensive approach to engage students and retain them through various opportunities andresource provision. However, even the Memphis STEP program lacks the emphasis on skills thatextend beyond the academic environment and into the industry. Another example of a step in theright direction of a comprehensive STEM education, can be seen in the “Integrative STEMeducation” as approached by Virginia Tech (Sanders, 2009) where STEM education is viewedbeyond the confinement of traditional subject topics as
