While through our collective experience we have determined many positive reasons to consider partnering with industry, we also present areas of caution to consider when engaging with external partners for a learning experience. The two initiatives discussed in this paper are a school outreach programme that partners a university, industry, and school systems in the United States (Programme A) and a capstone integrated civil engineering design project that partners a university and nearby engineering firms in the United Kingdom. Despite the disparate nature of these programmes, we found points of comparison in consideration of the industry partnership aspect that they share.}, author = {Gillen, A and Ford, J and Grohs, J}, url = {https://hefocus.raeng.org.uk/events/uk-ireland-7th-engineering-education-research-network-annual-symposium/}, keywords = {Industry Partnership, Outreach, Capstone Design} }
