In reviewingundergraduate engineering curricula, the NRC wrote: (University) curricula as a whole lackedthe essential interdisciplinary character of modern design practice and did not teach the bestpractices currently in use in the most competitive companies.1 As it turns out, many who teachdesign

These companies saw the benefits this kind of collaborative experience could affordstudents while still in the undergraduate setting.PACE touts its program as giving students the skills they need to succeed in the future.

Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultymembers, and joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia &the industrial partners) are also addressed. The

In many cases,preparing a competent workforce is also widely seen as part of the university mission.The changing landscape of higher education funding has also no doubt had an impact. Asuniversities deal with cuts in public funding sources, collaborations with business and industryare often viewed as financially attractive, by both the university and the business. The universitymay receive funding to help deploy a project, and the business or industry can access theexpertise found on university campuses on a needs basis, as opposed to funding entire training orresearch departments within the organization itself [1].
