Industry/university-developed telecommunication continuing education program issues

It is pointed out that university-run telecommunications continuing education programs for the telecommunications industry have unique problems which must be addressed by both the university and the industry during the development phase of the program. The authors examine five areas (contracting, costing, students, instructors, and technical content) and provide suggestions as to how some of these issue might be addressed. The study is based on the experience of the faculty of the University of Alabama at Birmingham´s Center for Telecommunications Education and Research
