Easy-to-understand competitive forces in global product markets make it essential to achieve sustained best-in-class competence in a manufacturing firm's technical work force. This creates an unusual opportunity for higher education and manufacturing industry to work together advantageously. The problem is outlined, together with descriptions of a balanced grouping of new programs designed to meet the new needs. These include use of low-bandwidth interactive compressed digital video in bringing distance education to the workplace, an executive master's degree program for fast track, mid-career professionals, and a collaboration between Boston University and the Fraunhofer Resource Center.
