How will enhancement of research, infrastructure and quality of undergraduate programs affect industry expectations?

Industries desire that each newcomer comes up the learning curve much faster than the previous one. They can help make this difference by partnership with educational institutions and universities, and taking advantage of the power of diversity these can provide. Acceleration of innovative ideas and production requires state of the art technologies and closer collaboration between academician, government and the private sector. It requires all engineering disciplines work effectively and achieve excellence in "doing it right for the first time". The ability to reach these goals will determine the next generation of winners and losers. This paper describes the necessary steps to implement all cross-functional cooperation with schools and industries. Specific examples are used to point out educational program enhancement, to reduce research expenditure, unite a broad range of engineering disciplines, to manufacture cost effective reliable products and put them in the market on time.
