It also brings expertise to support knowledge transfer activities and opportunities to promote innovation in everything we do.
The following approaches are proposed to enhance interface amongst industry, academia, and students:
Learning from Industry
Industrial visits! generates excitement among IAR students as they get a chance to learn something outside the confines of their university campus. These industrial visits are conceptualized with a vision to design an active learning environment and to experience the theory put into action, thereby bringing practical context to their learning. Students are exposed to the real working environment and shown how things are done in an organization to understand work processes, industrial practices, and business functions.
These visits also enhance linkages between our faculty and industry professionals leading to collaborative research and development projects, thus enhancing industrial practice.
