CRC Faculty-Industry Collaboration

At SRM Madurai College for Engineering and Technology, faculty-industry collaboration is a strategic focus aimed at enhancing academic excellence, research relevance, and real-world impact.

The Corporate Relations Cell actively facilitates meaningful partnerships between faculty members and industrial organizations to promote innovation-driven teaching, joint research, and knowledge exchange.

The “I-Connect” program at SRM Madurai College for Engineering and Technology is a structured initiative designed to strengthen faculty engagement with industry.

This program ensures that every faculty member undergoes industrial exposure twice a year, through short-term training, industrial visits, workshops, or collaborative projects.

The objective is to keep faculty updated with current industrial practices, technologies, and expectations, enabling them to integrate real-world insights into classroom teaching and research.

Each interaction is documented through a standard reporting format, and outcomes are reviewed annually to ensure academic relevance and impact.

These collaborations not only benefit teaching outcomes but also open pathways for collaborative publications, patents, and the establishment of industry-funded research labs.

By bridging academia with practice, the Corporate Relations Cell ensures that faculty members are well-equipped to guide students with current industrial perspectives and contribute to the institution’s goal of producing industry-ready engineers.
