Those noted comprehensive design experiences have been practiced by the writer at several universities and, more currently, at Eastern Michigan University. They have enabled us to partner with industry in many major design projects. And they have allowed us to develop our cooperative educational program as well, because the sponsoring organization finds that our students have an excellently-prepared background in providing the necessary functions expected in
