The Faculty of Engineering's Industrial Relations Liaison Office offers assistance in establishing and nurturing a mutually beneficial connection between our students, faculty members, and the industry. We work with multiple stakeholders at TAU and beyond to facilitate these connections.
At the Faculty of Engineering, we encourage and promote collaborative partnerships across sectors for cutting-edge research and education. Our vision is to bridge academia and industry, empower students to contribute to various sectors, and nurture engineers as influential leaders with a multidisciplinary approach. The connections between the industry and the faculty are robust, with numerous spin-offs, numerous faculty members taking prominent positions in companies, and various companies offering student scholarships, mentoring programs, industry-sponsored research, and direct support for teaching laboratories. On these pages, you will find resources and information for enhancing your educational experience and boosting your career prospects. Here are several key ways students can gain from these connections:
Collaborations between industries and TAU offer students with hands-on experience and real-world exposure, helping them apply academic knowledge to workplace scenarios. Industry input also shapes academic curricula to align with current standards and needs, ensuring students acquire relevant, marketable skills. These partnerships facilitate sponsored research projects, allowing students to engage with cutting-edge technology and developments that enhance their attractiveness to future employers. Through industry connections, students gain opportunities for networking, mentorship, and career guidance, often leading to job offers post-graduation due to their familiarity with a company's culture. Additionally, interaction with industry professionals helps students develop essential soft skills like communication and problem-solving. Exposure to industry challenges and technologies can also spark innovation and entrepreneurial ventures, supported by the technical and business resources from these partnerships. Furthermore, companies often fund scholarships and grants, making higher education more accessible and allowing students to focus on studies and research. Industry partners also sponsor conferences and workshops, providing insights into the latest research and further networking opportunities. Lastly, industry mentors offer invaluable guidance and support, fostering both personal and professional growth in students.
