Many student–industry activities have emerged in recent years, and universities have invested considerable time and energy in designing and implementing such collaboration models. However, as models differ significantly, student–industry activities should not all be bundled together. This paper examines student–industry activities conducted as integral parts of engineering study programmes. These activities allow students and industry representatives to meet. The results are based on four major components: an interview study, a case study of the Meet with industry guest lecture series, a case study of the Industry link project course, and a risk analysis of two student–industry collaboration models. Two very well-known, but markedly different, types of collaboration models have been chosen, one collaboration model, delivering real results to industry (e.g., project) and one collaboration model, not delivering real results to industry (e.g., guest lectures). Both collaboration models have been subjected to risk analysis, leading to the identification of strategic areas specific to the particular collaboration model. Based on the findings we suggest that, before choosing a specific model of student–industry collaboration, a risk analysis should be conducted focusing on the three key areas, i.e., Resources, Framework, and Pedagogic considerations, perhaps not primarily to identify specific risks, but to identify the typical risk areas for the activities to be offered |
