Fostering Industry-Academia synergies in the curricular development of engineering education

One of the main elements in Curricular Development within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is to promote ties between Industry and Academia, both in terms of curricular content as well as in terms of methodological approach. In this work, synergy between Industry and Academia is analyzed in the joint development of Final Degree Projects and Master Thesis in several engineering disciplines. The overall results show clear benefits in this interaction to students, industry members and faculty members in terms of educative process as well as to enhance potential collaboration opportunities.
