Industry- Academic Collaboration via Undergraduate Industrial Training & Research Projects
The Faculty of Science of the University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka has identified the need for improving the relevance and quality of Science Graduates in order to get their employability expanded. The faculty has launched a number of activities to achieve enhancement and continuity of quality and relevance of undergraduate education. Among these, one of the main and important aspects is to build and to maintain a strong relationship between university and industries (public and private sectors). More specifically, the faculty is in the process of reforming its educational processes to meet demands from present job market and is also looking forward for contribution from private and public sectors’ businesses that have the potential to employ skilled science graduates. This has already been initiated by offering FSC 3bP2 course module for the science undergraduates.
