What is Industry Collaboration

Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Engineering Education in a Global Context
The collaboration between industry and universities is essential if we are to ensure that graduating students can contribute fully when they start their careers. Unfortunately, the collaboration not occurring as widely as it should and, when it does occur, the effort needed for success is considerable. The university / industry toolkit explores the features of strong engagement with respect to the learning and teaching space and identifies actions that each can consider in order to foster even stronger relationships.

Abstract
The need for a reliable supply of engineering talent is accepted globally, but in many parts of the world the many challenges mean that this is not easily achieved. Even if the graduate supply is a reality, often there are concerns about the quality of the engineers entering the workforce. This chapter will explore this landscape, and after identifying the many challenges, explore solutions and potential ideas for the future of engineering education and the university/industry collaboration.
