A pathway amongst undergraduate learning, postgraduate research and industrial involvement

The effectiveness of an industry-based experimental learning program for engineering undergraduate and postgraduate students at Swinburne University of Technology has been discussed and evaluated. The significance of this program lies in the fact that both types of students will see the relevance of learning and how it is implemented in industry-based problems whilst industry will gain engineering expertise in a specific field. The interaction amongst undergraduate students, postgraduate students, academia and industry personnel was found to be very productive to all parties involved and to the engineering profession in general.
