_________ ____ as well as for graduate students. From the university’spoint of view, having graduate students teach courses in the undergraduate programs allows forlighter teaching loads of full time faculty members as well as flexibility in teaching schedules.Moreover, the practice is beneficial for the graduate student because it offers them theopportunity to be the instructor over a class during their graduate studies. This hones variousskill sets that future employers would desire whether the graduate students pursue careers inacademia or industry. For the most part, however, the graduate students are not provided with thenecessary resources from the university to prepare them properly to oversee a course1.

A summer REU program should thus be aresearch “training camp” to prepare students to make informed choices about a career in teachingand research, and to prepare students for success in those fields, if that is their career choice. Assuch, the summer REU experience must feature three key parts: • Leadership of meaningful and valued research • Formal learning about graduate studies, the craft of research, and leadership • A positive and

The goal is not to go back to the days of heavy ECE enrollment, but to chart thecourse for a sustainable ECE curriculum that meets the needs of industry and continues tomove the US forward as a leader in a high-tech world. The change needed is twofold:macroscopic and microscopic. At a macroscopic level the change is largely related toenhancing the soft skills of the graduating engineer, while at a microscopic level, thechange is specific and is related to classical ECE study subjects. Underlying both aspectsof change are three key factors that are a must for all engineers

Early research focused primarily on faculty members as academicentrepreneurs based on their expertise and access to research and commercialization resources(Bercovitz & Feldman, 2008). Studies have found that high publication counts and othermeasures of faculty excellence correlate with increased involvement in patenting and industrycollaboration (Perkmann et al., 2011). This suggests that faculty members are more likely toengage in technology transfer activities when they are recognized for their research capabilities,thereby bridging the gap between academia and industry.Over the past decade, studies have begun to recognize graduate students as a critical
