“…This study is in line with Lucia et al. (), who investigated how university–industry linkages had beneficial effects for the university in terms of improvement of educational programmes and for industry in terms of better graduates. In other words, researchers could be marked by somewhat contradictory perceptions of industry collaboration, and these may not necessarily be well aligned with the policy intentions.…”

This article analyses the challenging collaboration between small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) and knowledge institutions. The aim of the article is to shed light on the barriers, which hinder collaboration, and to investigate the particular role of research and technology organizations (RTOs) as potential mediators of collaboration between SMEs and universities. On the basis of a unique sample consisting of 151 SMEs, RTOs and universities from seven countries, the differences across dyads of potential collaborations are identified. In particular, the article finds that both firms and universities with collaboration experience with the other partner in general perceive higher barriers than inexperienced firms or universities. In terms of the mediating role of RTOs, the article illustrates that universities perceive lower barriers when collaborating with RTOs than with SMEs. A similar tendency to a mediating role of RTOs can be found among the SMEs' perception of university collaboration. Finally, the analysis shows that the knowledge institutions perceive the SMEs as very important collaboration partners, but the same sense of importance is not shared by the SMEs regarding collaboration with the knowledge institutions. Hence, there seems to be a quite unbalanced view on the potential of the collaborative ties, which is further discussed in the conclusion.

“…The university-industry collaboration that drove this project to its completion has proven to be successful in merging these two environments, as seen in other literature [1], [2], [4]. The hardware/software pairing is fully functional and ready to be tested and used by the industry representatives.…”

“…Such requirements range from power specifications on the switch relays and expandability options, to aesthetics of the graphical user interface and bulkiness of the hardware setup. By working with the industry representatives, these requirements can be addressed and incorporated into the design of the system for establishing a connection that has proven to be beneficial for both parties [1], [2] and [4].…”

“…In those cases, using an existing university connection can gather a group of students to investigate the issue at hand. Additionally, this is being exploited by industry members who are seeking to acquire more active, hands-on methodology to train the students for their future employment [4]. This sort of collaboration would allow for the industry representatives to get a project off the ground with minimal Page 26.525.2 resources, while maintaining a relationship with the student body that might be used in the future for similar endeavors.…”

“…Having a connection established can set up a multitude of projects that can allow the students to learn a variety of skills that can be implemented in the classroom or for their future employment after the completion of their studies [1] and [4]. A successful project could ensure that the industry representatives turn to academic resources for future projects as well.…”

This paper describes how student research and industry projects can benefit through joint university-industry collaboration by introducing new technology for replacing inefficient and outdated systems and software. This research project involves development of a fully customizable, user-defined hardware-software suite for automated signal routing with an open ended functionality profile. This intelligent switching system can be customized and employed in any industry where there is a need for programmable, timed, and/or simultaneous routing of analog or digital signals between devices. Potential applications of these automated switching systems include, but are not limited to: demarcation points, test floors, redundant backup systems, remote maintenance, etc. This system was designed via collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Oklahoma Communications Engineering Team (OKCET) Laboratory and has found an immediate application as a large-scale switching system. The fundamental hardware unit for this system is the National Instruments (NI) PXI chassis with a NI SwitchBlock populated with matrix relay cards. The chassis can be deployed in any location, contributing to the robust nature of the design. The advantage of using an integrated NI system is modularity; the hardware can be easily tailored to the specific needs of each end user. Expansion and customization is accomplished with the addition of a wide spectrum of matrix relay cards. Matrix cards are available with a varying number of relays or switching points. The proposed system is controlled and automated by a customized virtual instrumentation (VI) that was developed using NI LabVIEW software environment and can be integrated with the PXI or function as an executable on a standalone desktop computer.

The Teaching of Engineers Focused on Innovative Entrepreneurship

Engineering schools have a traditional way of teaching based on a sequence of subjects, beginning with fundamental sciences, mathematics, technologies and finally exploring practice and technics. This kind of program allows to deepen each subject, however, hinders the perception of the connections among the parts of a problem. Some schools changed their course aiming to turn the program more attractive to the students and, at the same time, more focused on the solution of actual problems the professionals face. For that, they used an innovative entrepreneurship approach changing the teaching-learning process. This article aims to identify the factors necessary to implement an innovative entrepreneurial engineering education, as well as explain such factors through literature review. As a result, two major categories of factors are observed, the teaching-learning process and university management. The first one encompasses the role of teachers, students, curriculum, and extracurricular activities. The literature suggests an open speech among students and teachers where they can explore multiple and critical perspectives. The PBL (Project-Based Learning) is recommended as a teaching-learning process. Extracurricular activities like scientific initiation, Incubators, and patents are other factors that contribute to this type of teaching. In university management, the incentive to innovation in engineering education is strongly recommended, besides providing students and teachers with an infrastructure that supports research and development and deployment of organizational culture and structure focusing on innovative entrepreneurship.
