Also, academic engineering research provides the setting for advanced training and education of our nation's most able technical specialists. It is from this reservoir of talent that the most creative technical ideas which underpin industrial progress and economic growth have emerged.

On the other hand, industry often has little influence on the direction taken by academic research, and university-trained students often have no appreciation of the constraints and drivers affecting the conduct of research by industry, or indeed of why industry should even have a stake in research. Simply put, there has been in many fields a fundamental disconnect between industry's needs and government's support for academic engineering research.

It serves to expand the engineering knowledge base; contributes to the exploration and application of specific areas of technology; provides systematic contexts and infrastructure for the diffusion and transfer of engineering and technological information; and provides training for most of the future leaders in engineering across the spectrum of research, development, design, and other engineering functions. Because of this varied role, leading engineers have long believed that academic engineering research (and in many instances engineering research in general)
