Abstract
Industries spend tremendous amount of time and money in converting a fresh graduate to a workable employee due to the gap between academic curriculum and industry needs. There is a growing demand for creating employable man power at university level by suitably augmenting the university curriculum. Organizations like CII, NASSCOM, National Skill Council of India, AICTE are stressing the need of imparting industry needed skills to engineering students in campus. Certain IT and related industries are increasing their focus to creating readily employable man-power rather than involvement in research activities with universities. This paper presents a case study of evolution of collaboration between industry, Govt agencies and the institute to impart industry-oriented training in campus, with an integrated curriculum. The paper provides a methodology for developing and implementing of the collaborative course delivery that can be adopted by different engineering studies. The success of the collaborative teaching has been shown by means of observed benefits using certain performance metrics.
Highlights
Though this paper focuses on the under graduate programs in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Information Technology (IT), the methodology can be adapted for any branch of engineering program
Published work on industry trends, and interaction with area experts from premier institutes was used for validation and fine tuning of the results obtained from the feedback analysis
This paper has presented an industry integrated curriculum as a framework of collaborative engineering education for bridging the gap with industry requirement
Summary
Motivation behind this study is bridging gap between academics and industry. Academicians recommend curriculum that cover fundamental concepts, principles, algorithms, mathematical analysis and reasoning etc. In the typical scenario of engineering curriculum the teaching is distributed over science, mathematics, humanities and management, basic engineering, professional core courses and choice based electives. Five years is considered to be a comfortable period for stabilizing the curriculum and reap its benefit. Institutions struggle to find ways and means of satisfying the dynamic demands from industry and market. This paper presents implementation of industry collaborative engineering teaching used in the last 10 years in the author's institution in India. The evolution of the collaborative framework to bridge the gap between industry demand and university education culminating in an integrated curriculum has been discussed. A set of performance measures have been suggested to quantitatively evaluate the impact and benefits
