  • Summary

  • When preparing students for industry, you must have the end goal in mind. You must prepare them for what the industry expects from them and what it takes to succeed and thrive beyond their classes. This can be done by ensuring that students get industry experience while still in school. Industry experience will help them see the value in teamwork, communication skills, and new technologies. Without industry experience, students can easily close their minds to these essential life skills and only focus on good grades. This will make it harder for them to adjust to the industry’s expectations after graduation.  In this episode, Dora Smith interviews Oscar Barton, Jr., the dean of Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr., School of Engineering at Morgan State University. He’ll help us understand what it takes to prepare students for industry. He also discusses the importance of diversity in both academia and industry.
