Abstract:

Traditional Methods of Industry Participation Serving on industry advisory boards Making donations Encouraging employees to work with universities as adjunct faculty or guest lecturers Sponsoring and speaking at faculty development workshops Bestowing grants to help develop new degree programs Donating scholarships and summer internships to students in these programs Providing support for realistic capstone projects Modifying and updating employee position descriptions to raise the bar Creating an financed chair position. New Realities Software engineering staff members change jobs often Industry investment in software engineering education has become an expensive luxury Some organizations that hire software engineering graduates have little actual interest in software engineering Financial analysts are concerned with the next quarterly report more than with what might happen five years from now We are now in a global economy strategies for industry university collaboration that work in one country or region may not work in another.
