INDUSTRIAL TRAINING PROGRAMS AND DEGREE PROGRAMS CAN BE MERGED TO ENHANCE BOTH. NORMALLY, TEHCNICAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TRY TO ISOLATE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FROM NORMAL DEGREE PROGRAMS. THIS PAPER SHOWS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OF COMBINING THESE PROGRAMS. THE ADVANTAGES INCLUDE COMBINING BUDGETS TO PURCHASE AUTOMATION EQUIPMENT, HAVING FACULTY MEMBERS IN INDUSTRIES EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY ON A FREQUENT BASIS, HAVING FACULTY MEMBERS BRINGING NEW TECHNOLOGY BACK TO THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM ON A MORE TIMELY BASIS, AND MODIFYING CURRICULA AND COURSE CONTENT TO BE USEFUL FOR INDUSTRIES.
