There is considerable pressure fromindustry to increase meaningful experience through internships during the college training period. The experi-ence gained during such industrial employment has been shown to have a positive influence in a number ofareas. This paper anticipates the extension of internships into a formalized program, where industrial experienceis an integral part of the education of the student.In industry, the environment is changing.

It is just as rigorous as traditional research in Topic X, Y, A, or B, although itmay be a good idea to talk with your Department Chair or Dean before submitting one ofthese proposals.Tip #2: Teach to Your Strengths, then to Your Goals – When you start your facultycareer, you are an expert in Topic X and have a broad view of your discipline as a whole.However, as research continues to add increasing depth, it may be very difficult for a newfaculty member to teach certain courses.
