"However," he added, "I would say we are heavily supported by industry in our research, so everything that we do in our research programs and that we expose our students to, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels, has a basis in industrial operation … so in that sense we are not developing systems that are never going to be used." Fleischer said that with Cal Poly's learn-by-doing environment, great value is placed on industry experience, and such experience is weighed heavily in considering applicants. Among those faculty who teach senior capstone courses, probably 75–80 percent have had industry experience at some point in their careers, and the lecturers in the engineering departments include many people who came to Cal Poly after several decades in industry.

Furthermore, he said, he would like traditional courses to include "at least some level of advanced manufacturing projects at the end" so that students did not have to wait until their capstone courses to be exposed to hands-on training. Howe disagreed about relaxing the general education requirements, saying, "I feel really strongly that the students learning engineering in a much broader context is really valuable, that it makes them much better engineers and much more flexible in terms of where they go in their careers."
