TL;DR: The advantages of this approach are that the technical components of the curriculum are continually upd ate, and, in many cases, additional instructional laboratory equipment is available following completion of research activities as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Engineering curricula at most major research universities are driven, in part, by research and technology. Research directions are often defined by funding agencies and major corporations. Faculty learn, develop, and apply the technologies n ecessary to obtain external funding. This knowledge, combined with individual interests, eventually impacts the content and structure of the c urricula. The advantages of this approach are that the technical components of the curriculum are continually upd ate , and, in many cases, additional instructional laboratory equipment is available following completion of research ctivity.
