Internship experiences areparticularly beneficial because, when well executed, they involve the development of practicalskills, opportunities to apply those skills, and the acquisition of knowledge regarding when andhow to apply skills, which are critical to developing expertise.7,11-12

Thisfrustration did not just apply to Kettering students, but to most all university students. Industryrepresentatives that met with faculty regularly pointed that classical closed-loop feedback theorywas not something that was particularly useful to them.

Upon review ofapplications for the program and selection of students each year, it has become apparent thatengineering students have represented over 30% of the student population in each of the STRIDEcohorts thus far. This cohort program which is for all majors would have welcomed almost anyratio of representation from students entering the engineering college or other colleges at theuniversity. STRIDE is for all majors. The program continues to build on its efforts in

that allfaculty members remain cognizant of current practices. Since PLM is a methodology,not a specific skill, it is difficult to come up with a curriculum that allows for assessmentof the amount of knowledge gained by each student. Additionally, the amount of timerequired by individual faculty members to keep current with industrial practices andtranslate those ideas into cohesive lesson plans may seem daunting. In order to develop acurriculum, it is important to divide the PLM design process into separate tasks. Oncethis is done, then each separate area can be developed into a rich curriculum with fair andaccurate assessment of the individual students’ skills.

The engineering faculty and administrators are constantly reminded by industry aboutthe importance of design and the need for students to learn about various elements thatcollectively constitute a good product design. The primary complaint is that most engineeringgraduates propose product designs that cannot be produced, and that their knowledge aboutmanufacturing and the importance of cost in product development is minimal at best.The universities and colleges are forced to comply with the demands of various
