Teaching-learning process for industry oriented courses - a case study

With the establishment of close connect between the industry and higher engineering educational institutions, the imminent need to introduce the industry-grown courses into the curriculum of engineering education has become the present day need. However, since the evolution of such industry oriented courses is radically different from the core engineering courses, specific adaptation and acceptance of such courses within an academic context is required. The general principles that, probably, govern the introduction of such courses along with a case study of the introduction of one such course into an Under Graduate (UG) programme is discussed in this paper.
