According to Michael Scritchfield, Director of the Manufacturing Excellence Center, close coordination be-tween TNCC and the employers of the college's graduates is key in preparing students for real-world jobs. Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, Improving Mathematics, Science and Technological Education in High Performance Manufacturing, TNCC has initiated a Faculty Internship Program that provides a linkage between education and industry. The internship program provides faculty members with opportunities to become current in the disciplines they teach and to develop up-to-date teaching processes and curriculum by working in the business community in which TNCC graduates are employed. Faculty participating in the pro-gram will spend a three to four-week period at their assigned business experiencing "hands-on" situations while making signifi-cant contributions to their assigned compa-nies rather than just observing operations.
