These goals form a solid foundation for the industry-academic partnership. However, tomove to the level of a “strategic partnership,” a deeper commitment on both sides and longer-term thinking are required. If both the University and the corporate partner are committed,ABET related issues naturally arise. After all, the new EC 2000 criteria are based on outcomes,require dialogue with constituents, and call for data reporting on student performance in theworkplace.

of Chemical Engineeringat Louisiana State University (LSU). The authors noticed in recent years that many undergraduatestudents avoid enrolling in graduate school because they believe the only path for someone with aPh.D. in engineering is as a faculty member. To address this limitation, the authors have developeda 10-week program that couples traditional research-related activities with training inentrepreneurship. The concept was to show students how both fundamental and applied researchcan lead to start-up companies, patents, and industrial partnerships. Additionally, in the part of thecountry where LSU is located, there are numerous small universities and colleges that do not offerresearch programs for undergraduates, so this REU site is

All faculty followed the ARG modeland demonstrated proficient use of active student engagement. 5. Reflections and ConclusionNumerous studies have linked undergraduate students' academic performance and retention in engineering fields toself-efficacy [15, 16]. Bandura has defined four sources from which efficacy beliefs are developed: masteryexperiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasions, and physiological states. Self-efficacy beliefs
