  abstract =     "Most existing EDP Programs do not maintain the close
                 coordination with industry required to keep programs
                 relevant and up to date. As a result, students,
                 unprepared for the sophisticated problems they
                 encounter in industry often must struggle to make the
                 formidable adjustment required. Cooperative education
                 programs which attempt to coordinate classroom
                 instruction with on the job training have in many cases
                 not realized their potential because the student's
                 academic training is too unrealistic to be of
                 significant help on the job. Our efforts in the
                 classroom must be directed towards preparing students
                 to deal with the demands that will be made on them as
                 professionals in the computer field. Emphasis must be
                 placed on teaching students methods and techniques for
                 solving their own problems rather than mearly conveying
                 facts and information. A suggested method for conveying
                 the realism of industry in the classroom is to replace
                 the traditional {$<$ u$>$ student}-{teacher$<$}/{u$>$}
                 relationship with one of {$<$ u$>$
                 employee}-{supervisor$<$}/{u$>$}. Students working on
                 individual projects hold private meetings with the
                 instructor in place of class lectures. The complete
                 design, programming, documentation and oral
                 presentation of a worthy EDP Project becomes the total
                 responsibility of the student with the advice and
                 guidance of the instructor. Companies participating in
                 the coop program may also be given the opportunity to
                 suggest projects. In addition to allowing a potential
                 coop student to gain some familiarity with an employers
                 needs, it conveys a desire on the part of the school to
                 keep programs sensitive to the needs and changes in
                 industry. Courses and programs as these which allow for
                 industrial input in our curriculum development are
                 essential to keep pace with the rapid growth and
                 changes that characterize this dynamic field.",
