: Companies can no longer afford to have their productsproduced at B or C level. Nor can they afford to have their engineers, who conceive theseproducts, to be educated at B or C level of competence. The importance for the nation to morefully develop its creative engineering capital in industry for professional competency andresponsible positions of engineering leadership of continuous technology development andinnovation is no longer in doubt. But the new challenge in professional graduate education forengineers requires a change in educational process that is not new. What were once the dreamsof forward thinking educators to remove the constraints of time and place from the educationalprocess for competency-based learning can now become reality. We

postgraduate education for Engineers in IndustryBecause of the need to continue the education of the engineers in industry that provide theinnovation that drives the U.S. Economy, the University faculty members that provide thispostgraduate education must be properly compensated relative to the engineers that they instruct.The pay scales of these faculty members must fit on the scale of engineering levels as shown inAppendix A. If this is done, then the faculty will be more willing to assume these additionalduties, and the postgraduate programs promoted by the National Collaborative for EngineeringGraduate Education Reform, can take place.[Please review appendices B-F for additional information
