Title
The role of university-industry liaisons in achieving comprehensive curricula in engineering
Abstract
The proposed methodology and multiple forms of feedback can serve as a consistent tool in order to achieve a comprehensive learning experience, which develops beyond University and aids with lifelong learning itineraries for industry and with enhanced research relations for academia. The development of Final Degree Projects as well Master's Thesis has proved to be a valuable tool for students, faculty and industrial members. For students, it is a good opportunity to gain insight into real world working environments and project demands. For academia, it provides information on how to update existing teaching curricula in engineering degrees, and opens the door to new joint ventures in Terms of research with industry. For industry members, it is a natural mechanism to have access to state of the art research and a good pool of future workers in their institutions. Overall, the experience is very well perceived by all actors and the feedback obtained up to this date will provide valuable information in preparing imminent Final Degree projects for the EHEA adapted four-year programs, as well as for the new Master Degrees under development.
