This paper describes a collaborative model between industry and academia to implement project based learning effectively in engineering education. We have come up with a viable Learning Framework for the execution of projects in engineering institutions. This would help the faculty to plan and facilitate the projects for enhanced learning among the students. The proposed Learning Framework structure would help the students to acquire essential engineering attributes that includes deeper subject knowledge and much needed "industry-relevant experience" for them. Further, a collaborative model between industry and academia is proposed to bridge the gap between industry expectations and academic accomplishments. A pilot implementation of such collaborative model based learning framework is also presented here, and the experience has been very encouraging.

Abstract


This paper describes a collaborative model between industry and academia to implement project based learning effectively in engineering education. We have come up with a viable Learning Framework for the execution of projects in engineering institutions. This would help the faculty to plan and facilitate the projects for enhanced learning among the students. The proposed Learning Framework structure would help the students to acquire essential engineering attributes that includes deeper subject knowledge and much needed "industry-relevant experience" for them. Further, a collaborative model between industry and academia is proposed to bridge the gap between industry expectations and academic accomplishments. A pilot implementation of such collaborative model based learning framework is also presented here, and the experience has been very encouraging.
