An International Model for Industry-Academic Partnership in Engineering Management Education

Abstract

The University of Warwic has recently been declared to be the leading University in Europe in terms of its links with industry, an accolade due in no small measure to the contribution of its Manufacturing Group, and in particular the Group's Engineering Business Management Training programmes and the work of its Advanced Technology Centre.

This paper will outline the experience of the Group in the development of a wide range of post-graduate and post-experience training programmes both in the UK and overseas (particularly in South and South-East Asia).

The Group now has over 300 partner companies world-wide including such world famous names as Rolls-Royee, British Airways, Rover Group, ICI, Jaguar, Computer vision, British Aerospace, Digital, Lucas Industries, Sun Microsystems, Raychem, Motorola, Dow Chemical ... etc.
