We have also received institutionalfunding for research laboratory facilities.Other Lessons LearnedBelow is a summary of other lessons learned during the last 1½ years in creating a newdepartment. • The promotion and tenure system does not support activities typical of the traditional EM faculty. Funding and refereed papers are still the performance paradigm for most (all?) universities. Because most SE/EM research grants do not need laboratory equipment, the funding is often significantly less than the traditional engineering programs. Also, since most SE/EM problems are applied in nature (all of our current funding at Stevens has

Pushing students to produce innovative, above average projects is central to thePittsburg State EET program as it is in many other programs as well. Another problem notunique to the entrepreneurial-based approach is timeliness. For many students, capstone projectsinclude late or all –nighters the week that the project is due. The planned renovation of the EETprogram attempted to approach the timeliness aspect.

Through typicalclass projects, students are shown how to do this; however, they rarely follow the plan. This isbecause students are used to working with less rigid restraints than what industry demands.When working for a company, students are forced to create a project plan and follow it to theletter in order to ensure all deadlines are met. Project planning is extremely important to masterin order to successfully complete nearly all engineering courses as well as all projects throughouta student’s future career.An important benefit, which comes from working with industry, is the
