Swearengen et. al. states that “As outsourcing captures an increasing percentage ofengineering work, engineers will become ‘free agents’ in a professional services market. Long-term employment at a single company may become an exception. Thus responsibility for careerdevelopment shifts from employer to individual.”9 The network developed and maintained bystaying in touch with one’s former students may be beneficial to the students who findthemselves in a sudden career change.

The theme of product development isthreaded through the courses and includes extensive solid modeling, design, prototyping, reverseengineering and automation. The large liberal arts sequence results in a squeeze on credit hoursand limits adding additional courses to the program.
