Abstract :
For years, companies have complained that new engineering graduates fall short on the practical engineering skills that would make them more productive in the real world. Here, the author describes how industry is helping to redesign the education of engineers by sponsoring student projects, supplying laboratory instruments and procedures, and giving seminars on the latest technologies at faculty workshops
