An elevated level of interaction between engineeringprograms and industry has potential benefits that are multiple: 1) engineering students gainvaluable practical experience while in school so that companies that hire them need to investfewer resources in on-the-job training, 2) teaching and research by faculty are enhanced byindustry relevance, and 3) the innovation engine of companies is aided by academic research.The model presented in this paper is similar to academic university

Picture Thinkers (BPT). In the corporate environment, there issignificant concern over the loss of BPT due to the retirement of Baby Boomer generationengineers. In the academic environment, the development of BPT aligns with efforts to prepareengineers who can work and innovate across disciplines although it may run counter to efforts todevelop engineers with specialized expertise. There is little empirical research on the skills,behaviors, and values of BPT in technology-based industries. Research is needed to develop alanguage of BPT that can guide professional development in the workforce and in academia, aswell as to understand the ways BPT are critical to driving a breakthrough mindset.

-learning process, inpartnership with “full-time” regular faculty members. The impetus here is three fold. First, thegeneral belief that well-seasoned and experienced practitioners can be a tremendous resource totap; in combination with regular “full-time” faculty- who are, in most instances, the “research-type,” and who have not had the opportunity to practice engineering. Second, industry’sprevailing perception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for thepractice. Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practiceis seen as deficient. Third, blending practical experience in teaching design and design-relatedcourses is repeatedly emphasized by ABET, and by other engineering
