strategic initiatives of industrial leaders.In spite of the attention the topic was receiving in industry, little mind space or targeted researchwithin the academy was being focused on the looming issue. In 2011, with urging and supportfrom an Engineering Education Industrial Advisory Council (IAC), a first of its kind course waslaunched entitled “Harnessing Engineering Expertise in Industry”. The graduate course, co-developed and instructed by university faculty and members of the IAC, explored the topic ofengineering expertise from an industrial perspective. The objective of this course was to makeexplicit the concept of expertise in industry, to replicate and/or develop research basedapproaches for identifying and capturing this expertise, and

need to attract top talent from all over the world willing towork hard in applied research to get new patents, publish scientific papers and create wealth forthe supporting companies. With all these objectives in mind a group of five companies foundedthe Industrial Consortium to Foster Applied Research in Mexico in February 2008. UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIP THE SYNERGY THAT MAY CHANGE THE INDUSTRIAL FUTURE It is well known that most of the top engineering students receive good work offers fromleading companies at the time of their bachelor graduation, but a few of them reject these offers,as they are willing to pursue graduate studies. These students are not attracted by just a goodsalary
