At the same time the university would like to increase the Return on Investment (ROI) it has made in its knowledge capital (faculty, students, labs, and other infrastructure). Universities, after all, need funds to operate and given the current financial crisis the need for external funds is even greater. The above are only a subset of a long list of issues. For each point listed above, industrialcollaborators respond with their own concerns and issues. David Wisler (WISLER1) points out inhis paper the contrasting set of expectations in academic and industry. While all the criticismsone can make against such collaborations have been made, it is also true that university

The real concern is the way these rankings are now being viewed bythe public and the hype that accompanies their release. Critics of the ranking process are quick to challenge the suggestion that an undergraduateeducation experience can be reduced to a statistical score.8,11 Even with their self cautionaryadmonishments to the contrary, some publications like U.S. News & World Report, Barron's Top50, and Money Magazine appear to do just that by using a variety of evaluation criteria that insome cases fluctuate from year to year,10,12 which is why it is not unusual for these rankingagencies to show dramatic changes in

The issue of duplication within a state is often the limiting factor, so the fact thatthe region was not being well served from the other doctoral granting institutions was critical.Other lessons learned relate to program growth, and cost to the university.

One faculty member is new, so just three of the facultymembers did the assessments described here. Building the process certainly took time, but theongoing costs are quite reasonable. The indirect measures are generally very easy to perform –typically a few minutes of class time for a survey. Many of the direct measures are based onexisting exam questions and assignments.

This strategyaddresses a number of key issues: 1. It satisfies the requirements of the Clare Boothe Luce scholarships 2. It creates an interdisciplinary social nature to the meetings 3. It involves science and math faculty in the engineering process so they can better identify successful engineering students and relate their courses to engineering students
