Guide for Involving Industry in Teaching

Involving industrialists in teaching can provide mutual benefits for lecturers, students and industry. engCETL has developed a guide for Loughborough University academic staff, in engineering and engineering-related departments, who involve (or wish to involve industry) in one or more aspects of their teaching. The guide provides a pragmatic approach to finding and involving industrialists in teaching.

Using the link above, you can download the guide with its accompanying handouts for students and industrialists. You can also access the 22 case studies separately from this page.
