INDUSTRIAL COLLABORATION

Case studies and experiences of administrative infrastructure for cooperation between industry and higher technical and vocational education

Papers are solicited on the area of academia-industry cooperation in engineering education and research. We welcome industrial collaboration case studies (in every engineering field), industry-supported projects, industrial participation in capstone design course, and industrial internship programs as well as the administrative infrastructure/organization to promote the engineering education and research.

Universities and industry are partnering for mutual benefit. It is an international awareness that insufficient cooperation between academia and industry has caused difficulties in engineering education and research. In the past decades, many universities had explored in different approaches to overcome these difficulties. Some cases are successful while some cases are not. This session would like to get us, who care engineering education, together to share our experiences. Through our successful and failure experiences we excel for a better level in engineering education and research.
