Development of partnership between industry and university via customized field-oriented curriculum

This paper introduces the education-oriented collaboration model between LG Electronics and Handong Global University in the form of custom-tailored curriculum - embedded multimedia system track. A new curriculum was developed based on an analysis of the current curriculum with the survey results of industry demands for the engineering graduates, LGE´s business direction and comprehensive on-site feedback. The previous curriculum was reshaped by revision of the course contents to incorporate the new track and addition of the custom-tailored specialized courses to suit the needs of LGE. Various programs such as internships and industry scholarships were provided to promote the effectiveness of collaboration. It was mutually recognized that this collaboration model is a good example of a win-win strategy between university and industry.
