Abstract
The university-learning environment in engineering is not sufficient for students to become engineers. The practical role of engineering is working on real world problems in an industry environment. Industry-university collaboration seems to be actively increasing in the development of engineering education in various parts of the globe. The close relationship between industry and university is a vital component of engineering pedagogy in Australia. This research paper is focuses on analyzing staff and students views on industry-university collaboration in engineering. The staff and students are playing vital role in industry-university collaboration. It is always worth analyzing staff and students’ views about their experience on industry-university collaboration. This research inclined to conduct a paper based survey with a cohort of students in second year undergraduate engineering course and also conduct face-to-face interview with staff members in the School of Engineering at Deakin University.

It was interesting to see that most of the students (34%) realized an industry-university collaboration is a supportive cooperation from both sides, which is a WIN – WIN situation
Summary
The real value of industry collaboration is to create benefits for society. Universities focus on educating students as professionals while industry concentrates on giving opportunities to students to experience real world problems in a competitive environment. The core interest is different for both industry and university. Academics pursue the practice of teaching theory to practice through research projects within an engineering curriculum. The industry expects graduates with career ready skills such, as problem solving, analytical thinking, and design to work on real world projects. The industry expects creative and innovative academic practice that gives students valuable practical knowledge
