Wh ile the academic system primarily focuses on building a broader knowledge base\, a very important factor for successful transition of the trainees i s their industry-readiness. Hence\, the need for dynamically evolving indu stry-academia collaborations.\n\nWhile technological trends largely dictat e the needs of the dynamically evolving industrial ecosystem\, recent time s have highlighted the need for easily scalable methods that can help effe ctively empower students transitioning into industry.\n\nThis panel discus sion aims to focus on the dynamically evolving requirements of the tech ec osystem and the challenges and trends that drive current and next-gen indu stry-academia interfaces.\n\nEach panelist will provide a short\, pre-reco rded presentation extending over 5-10 minutes with their thoughts/perspect ives on the topic in discussion\, including trends\, challenges and propos ed solutions. Once all the pre-recorded presentations by the panelists hav e been run\, a live QA session moderated by Rossitza Marinova and Deyasini Majumdar will follow.\n\nOrganized by Deyasini Majumdar\, Chair\, IEEE R7 Education Activities Committee & Rossitza Marinova\, IEEE R7 Training Co- ordinator\n\nPanelists:\n\n- Witold Kinser – Professor University of M anitoba & Ex-Vice President\, IEEE EAB\n\n- Mohammad Moshirpour – Softwa re Engineering Teaching Chair and MEng Program Director\, University of Ca lgary\n\n- Julia Elvidge – Ex-President & Co-Founder Chipworks\, Co-Foun der SheBoot\, Advisor Invest Ottawa\n\n- Tom Murad – Country Lead - Engi neering & Technical Excellence\, Siemens Mobility\n\nPlease see the attach ed flyer (in Media section) for more details on the panelists\n\nCo-sponso red by: Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE) 2021\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280537 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280537 ORGANIZER:deyasini.majumdar@ieee.org SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:CCECE 2021 Panel 1 - Evolving Dynamics of Industry-Academia Collabo ration URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280537 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 12pt\;">A key meas ure of a productive tech ecosystem in any society is the successful transi tion of new graduates from academia into industry.
