, there exists one significant drawback: fresh graduatesare unskilled at the process of representing real-world systems as idealized models that can besubsequently analyzed using theoretical textbook principles. This conclusion was based uponanecdotal feedback received from employers and freshly graduated engineers. This anecdotalfeedback was enough to initiate a more formal process to explore the transition from theclassroom to the real-world for an engineer or technologist.The capstone course, where students do projects with industry, attempts to fill in the voidbetween theory and practice. However, based upon feedback from fresh engineering graduates, itdoes not perform an optimum job of doing so since it is a single course taken during the

knowledge to engage them in their studies. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Survey of Types of Industry-Academia CollaborationCollaborations between industry and academia are, when properly designed and managed,beneficial to both the industry partners and the academic institutions. Such collaborations maytake place on both small and large scales, and may involve varying numbers of academicinstitutions and industry partners. They may also have different purposes, including bothresearch-focused collaborative efforts and programs designed to connect undergraduatestudents with real-world projects to enhance their education.In this paper, the authors will provide a survey of different

final step was to have OEM engineers lecture on the importance and relevance of theintegration of analysis and experimental techniques. The students’ reflection on collective learningwrapped up the course, and helped to prepare them for competence and relevance in their ownautomotive engineering careers.Course Project PreparationIn order to accomplish the previously described course objectives, two of the faculty membersworked in collaboration with a professional engineer and two additional participants from theOEM research lab. A test setup mimicking the OEM laboratory was constructed (Figure 2), andall components were checked for safety as a practice run was performed in attendance of theprofessional engineer. With the support of the

To that end, the AIDP construct is the actual threading together of all four tenetsfocused within company needs and university strategies.Table 1.

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

professionals are also emerging. Offered as non-credit pop-up sessions, these workshopsare providing undergraduate students with skills to readily traverse multi-disciplinary projectsthrough venues that bridge engineering concepts and theory with application.Three years into development of our ecosystem, we continue to engage stakeholders at thecampus level and across the broader industry-based community to expand our professionaldevelopment offerings at various levels. Industry partners have proven to be key contributors ingrowing the ecosystem, bringing financial support, project expertise, and, coupled with facultybuy-in, legitimacy to our efforts. In this paper, we offer requirements for an effective partnership,some dos and don'ts, the evolution

facilitate the problem solution.According to its focus, educational collaboration can be classified in three groups (Thune2011):  development of new educational programs,  industry invocation in teaching and learning process by thesis supervision, lecturing or conducting research projects,  transfer between studies and work life (internships, career fairs, trainee or other recruitment programs).While the last group of activities is relatively easy to realize in short-term, the first two typesof cooperation might cause certain difficulties. The problems mostly occur because of thedifferences in nature and culture of the academia and industry worlds (Bruneel et al. 2010;Cerych and Frost-Smith 1985

Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible Networks Integrated Realization of Engineered Materials and Products Managing Organized and Disorganized Complexity: Exploration of the Solution Space His current education focus is on creating and implementing, in partnership with industry, a curriculum for

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
