One deviation from the standard programs may be the possibility that a limited number of hours taken for graduate credit can be applied to the Bachelor degree (not more than 9 hours).”This single paragraph allowed the IMSE Department to create the Concurrent B.S./M.S.I.E.degree, which allows students to count up to 9 hours of IMSE graduate courses toward theirundergraduate degree requirements.

PD-3 courses are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To assess the effectiveness of any new content, sequencing of content and/or new instructional methods, the instructors that taught Tuesday sections would return and report on the success of student comprehension of material, the effectiveness of the sequence or flow of the content, and the overall evaluation of student

Engaging in these formalized and non-formalized interaction channels create opportunity for organizational learning (Bruneel, d'Este,& Salter,2010), which are crucial to enhance the effectiveness of long-term interactions (Kogut,2000).At individual level, some studies have identified the role of university faculty and techniciansas primary agent for the dissemination and commercialization of new knowledge (Shane,2004;Hayter,2015). Recent studies have also put forward the important role of students, especiallygraduate students in knowledge-based activities and academic spin-off creation (Hayter, etal.,2017; Boh, et al.,2016).

Additionally,two major concerns were explicitly expressed: 1) Create a course that maintains the academicexcellence and rigor reflected in other Rose-Hulman STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics) courses and 2) Integrate experiences to help students build the leadershipskills required of successful project leaders.

To be clear, this is not necessarily a new trend - Thorstein Veblen noted theincursion of businessmen into the operations of American higher education in the early 20thcentury; however, the trend may be accelerating in conjunction with the economic paradigmshift.

While the faculty andadministrators believed that the engineering ethics curriculum provided a “nuanced treatment ofcomplex issues, their students reported “hearing simplistic, black-and-white messages aboutethics” [11]. Due to observations of faculty approving or participating in unethical behavior,students also did not perceive the faculty as ethical role models

This attitude promotes engaged learning and a professional view of how experimental work has to be planned, executed and reported. These are central concepts in many of the ABET outcomes. New opportunities for continuous improvement are welcomed by the accreditation bodies. Almost every student engaged in a practical project will make use of electronic instrumentation. The most likely area of trouble concerns analog signal processing between sensors and computers and this is a path to ‘just enough’ electronics training for non-specialists.
