First, thegeneral belief that well-seasoned and experienced practitioners can be a tremendous resource totap; in combination with regular “full-time” faculty- who are, in most instances, the “research-type” who have not had the opportunity to practice engineering. Second, industry’s prevailingperception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for the practice.Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practice is seenas deficient.

if they could discover it for themselves rather than on faithduring lectures.In summary, experiments are powerful tools of science and engineering because one experimentcan completely dismiss or divulge an entire theory; therefore, engineering students should betaught to design their experiments carefully and to glean as much information as possible fromthose experiments because they provide insight and lead to discovery. As for the engineeringresearch community, there is no doubt that experimental observations are crucial because noproposal for research is ever funded without some hint of an experiment.
