Impact of Industry Institute Interaction in Engineering Education to Enhance Employability – A Case Study

Abstract

This paper examines a case study of collaborative training through the industry-institute alliance to give sufficient exposure to the learners with recent technologies; recognize the practices to bridge the gap between institute and industry and improve the employability of students. The objective of any engineering institution is to create skillful and capable employable graduates through quality technical education. Hence, a good and energetic academic engagement with relevance to industrial collaborations to encourage not only modern technical education but also entrepreneurship is a must. The paper attempts to highlight strategies that can elaborate on the importance of industry-institute interaction to improve employability and strive towards overall excellence. It also focuses on the challenges faced during the course implementation phases and proposes remedies to overcome such challenges. Finally, we conclude by identifying the future needs and opportunities for methodological improvement of industry-institute interactions.
