To foster innovation and entrepreneurship among engineering students, academic institutions and industry partners can collaborate more effectively by establishing joint programs that combine academic knowledge with real-world industry experience. This can include creating internship opportunities, research projects, and mentorship programs where students can work on practical problems faced by industries. Additionally, organizing innovation challenges, hackathons, and workshops can provide students with a platform to showcase their creativity and problem-solving skills. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, students can gain valuable insights, skills, and networks that are essential for success in the job market.
