a very special, active and dynamic partnership between industry, accreditationauthorities and educations. This paper discusses these partnerships, advantages andchallenges for the future in Australia and how the partnership flows into a global market.IntroductionIn the early part of this decade, engineering accreditation bodies worldwide reviewed theirnational guidelines for engineering education to consider restructuring them such that theycould determine whether universities were actually delivering graduates ready foremployment and, more importantly, able to cope with the future requirements of theprofession. These reviews resulted in a refocusing of the engineering curriculum to outcomesrather than process. The UK‟s Royal Academy of

“best practices” of implementing PEL projects include providing time for project development,advance notice for students to ensure clear expectations, and that projects designed to besemester long should include a variety of course concepts. One faculty member suggests that it isbest to assign the project early in the semester “so that they can get thinking on a concreteexample[s].” This additional time allows student groups to review the project concept severaltimes as a group and turn to instructors throughout the semester for clarity. Due to theassessment weight and the length of the project, student project groups are often strategicallycomposed to provide an intellectual balance.

Universities are trying to compensate these cuts by increasing fundingfrom private groups willing to “help academia to achieve its goals” being the private sector,claiming an “ad-hoc” education. The loud calls to align industry and businesses with academia seem to be reasonablebased on economic constraints on both sides and the fact that “our students will benefit from it.”Another strong argument in favor of the social benefit of the alignment of business‟s needs, andcollege curriculum is the fact that our worldwide competitiveness will improve
