meetings, teleconferences, and emails, it became clear that the Netherlands very recently (2002) started implementing its Quality Circles program. This program is an approach for implementing the National Environmental Policy Protection (NEPP) program. Through stakeholder collaboration, the NEPP program has reached some ambitious milestones, including establishing covenants and other agreements with industry that provide environmental protection that sometimes surpass existing environmental regulations. The goal of the Quality Circles program is to approach environmental permitting and law enforcement in a more client-oriented and results-based way. A long-term goal is to eventually have an effect on the environmental

In addition to their classroom activities, they shop at localshopping centers, eat at local restaurants, visit nearby cities such as Indianapolis and St.Louis, and take trips to local industries. The students and their visiting professor areaccompanied on these trips by their Rose-Hulman host, classroom instructors, and Rose-Hulman students.The inclusion of the Rose-Hulman students as counselors is the part of the program thevisitors seem to enjoy the most.

If we are to encourage a more collaborative, teaming paradigmamongst our students, then we must behave that way in our own intra- and inter-departmentaldealings. It is imperative that we serve as role models of the desired behaviors of the engineer ofthe future.Rather than dealing with students as an anonymous collective, we have to engage them as unique,whole individuals. Last, faculty have to be more proactive in engaging industry on their terms, orat least with an acknowledged appreciation of the contemporary environment and demands onindustry.5.2 StudentsRather than seeking personal reward from individual effort, our students will need to be
