While the currentsampling does include a variety of industry perspectives (both small and large companies; acrossa range of applications), future work might focus more deeply and explicitly on these industry-specific requirements, and thus provide more detailed guidance for coursework and trainingmodules for domain specific applications or positions. Related to this point, this study was alsolimited geographically in its focus and consideration of educational programs, and by whateducational material was accessible to researchers in this study.

They conclude there is a “synergistic benefit of such an approach and reinforce aprevalent belief that innovation in research can help enrich education.” Finally Newberry13developed a missile system design graduate curriculum that strove to balance scientificdevelopment and robust design. He emphasized that “Design and judgment are the essence ofengineering; they are the primary factors that differentiate engineering from science.” This is alesson that should not be forgotten even as we work hard to advance
