This paper explores the difference between an employable engineer and a graduate engineer and proposes a model to reduce/ eliminate the disconnect between the two.The Industry operates in a fast-paced, dynamically changing environment. Universities are steeped in academic tradition and although they may be amenable to change, inertia is high and change is a slow process. Industry and Academia are two very different worlds who do not share a common language. This paper proposes a training model, which involves the introduction of a layer between these two worlds, a communication and feedback medium that can help bridge the divide. The focus is on a symbiotic relationship between Universities, Technical Finishing Schools (who can cater to the vocational training of an Engineer), and the Industry.

Abstract


This paper explores the difference between an employable engineer and a graduate engineer and proposes a model to reduce/ eliminate the disconnect between the two.The Industry operates in a fast-paced, dynamically changing environment. Universities are steeped in academic tradition and although they may be amenable to change, inertia is high and change is a slow process. Industry and Academia are two very different worlds who do not share a common language. This paper proposes a training model, which involves the introduction of a layer between these two worlds, a communication and feedback medium that can help bridge the divide. The focus is on a symbiotic relationship between Universities, Technical Finishing Schools (who can cater to the vocational training of an Engineer), and the Industry.
