Particular emphasis is placed on relevance to their actual workexperience, and content and duration of each topic. Additionally, managers continuouslyimprove their training experience by varying the delivery method of the subject matter throughthe coursework (i.e., lecture, workshop, self-guided, web based as examples).  At least six weeks prior to the start of a training cycle, a team meets to review the effectivenessof the prior training round as well as its relevance to the work planned for the incoming students.This participative approach includes the best

importance of testing activity and are aware that testers are responsible andaccountable for the product quality. The percentage of such students is 17% as against theprofessionals 50%. We can apprise students of the complete product life cycle through real-life projects and exposure to industry processes.The major issue is on the con side. The students are aware that the profession is relegated tosecond-class citizenship and vote that as the most critical issue. However, only 36% of thestudents believe so, as against 73% of the professionals. If students are exposed to this reality,many more may get distracted from the testing profession. The industry has to take care ofthis issue. While they may not have planned for this situation to occur, they

for increased “relevancy” of engineering educationwith greater industry-academia collaboration on many fronts. It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultymembers, and joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia &the industrial partners) are also addressed. The

The interviews were conducted by the adjunct professor responsible forteaching the course and the associate professor responsible for the course origination.Course feedback from the coordinators and instructors indicated that close, positive collaborationwas experienced throughout the course planning and teaching phases. Persistent efforts by theOEM professional engineer to visit the experimental lab frequently to work with studentsassigned to setup the experimental hardware enhanced course collaboration and allowed foraccurate experiments to be completed. The same engineer presented two guest lectures to theclass, further enhancing student-sponsor

One example of such a project involved improving early detectionof lung cancer, while another program had students working with Facebook to improve theAndroid application experience for users with slow network connections and limited data plans,which is common in some parts of the world.Kettering University (www.kettering.edu)At Kettering University, all students are required to complete a minimum number of co-op termsin order to graduate. Originally, when the university was owned and operated by General Motorsas General Motors Institute (GMI), all students’ co-op terms were spent at GM. Now, Ketteringpartners with a variety of

Safety Training Series and Certification (undergraduate engineering students)In the current academic year we have experienced growth in both I/U partnerships and inprogram delivery. We currently partner with over twenty-five (25) industries and have plans toexpand to include government agencies, industry associations, and other academic institutionalpartners.ConclusionsIndustry partnerships can be highly beneficial to colleges and universities. Sustaining suchpartnerships requires that clear policies and procedures be in place to mitigate any possiblefinancial risks. The creation of the Engineering New Mexico Resource Network has provided usan organizational structure to manage our challenges and the administrative strength to

customers or industries, thetechnologies in the toolbox are applicable for each of the planned portfolio projects.The technology toolbox itself put requirements on employee skills. An assessment of theavailable employee skills at the company should be conducted in order to define the gap andanalyse future requirements for the personnel. Hiring recent graduates, who already haveknowledge in the technology, can then close the gap. In order to assure that the students willhave the necessary knowledge the company should establish the contact to these studentsalready before their graduation. Thus in case of Big Data solutions in the company’s portfolioand graph database technologies in the technology toolbox, the company might realize a needin a group
