Symbiotic Relationship : Academia Industry Interaction
Industry, the world over, is under tremendous evolutionary pressure. Industrial structure is constantly changing driven by: preponderance of information products and IT embedded products; transformative innovations in production processes; strategic shift towards continuous technological innovation that is driving commercial value; new emerging patterns of work that are gradually replacing older established ones; restructuring of jobs and workforce that are threatening traditional employment patterns and stability of jobs; major shifts in the very nature of skill requirements apart from skills in new knowledge domains; significant shifts in markets and their structure; and in delivery patterns and delivery platforms, to name some.
The book, 'Symbiotic Relationship : Academia Industry Interaction', is timely as the technical education system, barring a few national institutes, is functioning, more or less, in isolation from the world of work. According to Dr Mittal, technical education and industry exists as two separate worlds. Bookish knowledge being imparted to prepare students for achieving a degree qualification, for which the society has glamour, may not have any place in the times to come. Realizing this, Dr. Mittal, drawing on his personal experience, surveys, and studies, has identified the deficiencies in the system and their causes. To name a few, inadequate understanding of the profile of an engineering graduate, inadequate teacher preparation to teach, inadequate or no relevance of practical work in the laboratories and workshops, producing low or nil reliability certificates by majority students who undergo summer training, one or two project assignments by the whole class, lack of focus on producing entrepreneurs, etc.
