A Model for an Industry/University Strategic Alliance in the Classroom

Modern engineering corporations build much of their engineering workforce from a few key engineering schools. Corporate support and interaction is focused on these key engineering schools, which provide engineers who perform particularly well in a given company. The authors explore the above strategies, and provide a model for a university/industry alliance in the classroom to enhance the future engineering workforce. This model is based on a collaboration between Montana State University and The Boeing Company in Seattle for the development of a course entitled ‘Aircraft Structures Design and Analysis’. The important elements for success are given, along with lessons learned from this experience. Similar industry/university collaborations are encouraged, based on the results.
