Industry Academia Collaboration Workshop
In order to identify the knowledge and skill gaps in the current graduate students in order to make them employable, MKSSS's Dr. Bhanuben Nanavati College of Architecture for Women (BNCA) hosted a day-long Industry-Academia Collaboration Workshop on the 19th of July. The aim of the workshop was to provide a focused group conversation that would strengthen and validate the research-based curriculum. For the workshop, around 25 participants from the construction industry and academia came together to discuss, validate and refine the curriculum that is based on project research. Dr Vaishali Anagal and Dr Sujata Karve conducted the workshop. Initially Dr Sujata Karve presented the findings of the research conducted under the project. Dr Vaishali Anagal explained the modalities of the workshop. Dr Mohan Siriwardena presented the curriculum developed under the research project and then, a structured feedback was received after discussions among the professionals and the academicians.
