decades now, the standard model of a graduate education is one that culminates with adoctorate at the top. There are good financial reasons for this, although some are nowevaporating. Graduate schools have been driven by money from the government for big projects,including space exploration, missile defense, and military research. For financial and otherreasons, graduate students are engaged directly and indirectly to help with the research. Theneed for funding has directed many a career in academia, and government funding obviouslyaffects the material that is actually taught.This research-based, doctorate-driven model has disadvantages for an MS student. To bepractical, MS and Ph.D. candidates must share the same classes with the same

For example, is faculty accessibility a primaryobjective, or is it simply the desire for an easy grade. It is not the intention of this research toinsinuate that student evaluations should be considered a completely reliable indicator ofsuccess, but instead that there are areas of the higher education experience that deserveconsideration beyond current standards.Research ProblemThis research seeks to identify if students are indeed receiving

The evaluation reveals how universities contribute to technological development andeconomic competitiveness, emphasizing that the index can and should be adjusted to the characteristics ofeach industrial or economic sector. In this regard, the weighting of indicators may vary, and someindicators can be removed or added according to the defined context. This index provides a strategic toolto guide universities in their continuous improvement, aligning their research and training programs withthe industry's needs.

educationThe purpose of the paper is to identify strategies to encourage and facilitate stronger industryengagement among engineering faculty. A continuous engagement between industry and facultyis essential for faculty to understand current best practices in the industry and build strongerlinkages with theories and concepts. This knowledge, when brought back to the classroom,enriches students with practical skills and abilities to be successful in their careers. Additionally,engaging and working with the industry to design solutions helps higher education institutionsfulfill their broader mission of advancing research, providing meaningful education, andpromoting lifelong learning.ProblemTraditional industry-university collaborations in engineering
