Abstract

In this paper, we describe the existing successful practices at the Fontys University of Applied Sciences, ICT in establishing and maintaining collaboration with industry within its ICT curriculum. We describe our approach and the major challenges that we face. In particular, we provide concrete examples from one semester of the Software Engineering curriculum where different forms of collaboration are employed. Our approach, experiences and lessons learned may be valuable to other software engineering programs in involving industry partners in the education process.
