and its partners in the construction industry.IntroductionPartnership between Educational Institution and Industry is not a new concept in fosteringlearning among students. There are many universities that work closely with business,government, and industry partners to develop programs to fit their needs. Universities andindustries traditionally maintained collaborations by including student internships, facultyexchanges, and industry design projects to complete a degree program. The purpose of thesepartnerships is to meet the needs of industries, governments, national laboratories, and thetraining needs of the university students.The goal of any university engineering technology curriculum is to provide the information andskills so each
