While in structural design, Physics, Civil, and Industrial Engineeringdepartments will collaborate. Lastly, engineering students together with mathematics andarchitecture students will work together for the wind turbine design. It is essential to clarify that asignificant objective of this project is the introduction at the undergraduate and graduate level, asystems perspective in fluid dynamics and propulsion engineering [13]. Each student will beguided and mentored by the Rocketry staff to use the necessary software and modeling suchas Finite Element Modeling, Robotics, Computer Programming, and Mathematics, Aerodynamics,AutoCAD and many

Industry, particularly technology-based companies, has observed thatsolutions to problems have a greater probability of success when all interested parties(purchasing, innovation, marketing, sales, manufacturing, etc.) have input in developing a plan toachieve a desired corporate outcome. It is through this collective action of diverse disciplinesthat unique solutions are conceived. Many times breakthroughs in innovation and productdevelopment occur not through the actions of companies in direct competition but through newentrant companies by modifying technology currently residing in different markets andapplications. The breakthrough occurs because the new entrants are not bound by the technologyparadigms constraining

From itsinitial founding, the ECE department had significant collaborations with local industry and inparticular from two major technology corporations that surrounded it. As the program grew andexpanded, the need for a doctoral program was seen as a natural next step in the progress of theuniversity and critical to serving the needs of local industry.Since this would be the first doctoral program in engineering and only the third at the university,several challenges existed. The first was the high cost associated with such a program, thesecond was resistance to the university in moving from a comprehensive institution to a
