Investigating barriers and opportunities to Industry-Academia collaboration in engineering education and research: building connections across institutions

Start year: 2025

Summary: This project will lead change in engineering education by identifying barriers and opportunities for sustained and more widespread industry participation in curricula, through collating data on sustainable university-industry collaborations and the perspectives of stakeholders on building and improving such collaborations. This will guide universities and the Engineering Future Initiative to strengthen and enhance industry engagement within the curriculum.
