Abstract
Discussion of innovations in science education and academic-industrial partnerships intensifies in weak or changing economies when jobs are harder to find. Experiential and cooperative education programs have always helped students to find jobs. We still offer science education as groundwork of many career alternatives, but provide too few opportunities for students to experience them. With tough times in store for the forseeable future, it is imperative that more science students have the chance to hone their skills in experiential, cooperative education, and study abroad activities. This needs hard work by faculty and employers to identify student opportunities, monitor progress, and provide program continuity, but the benefits are self-evident.
