“…This requires attitudinal changes and value sharing in order to develop new organizational structures and new support instruments for University and Industry cooperation [13]. In this paper the support instrument is proposed where all the above mentioned approaches can be utilized as specific additional services via the KRMS architecture proposed in [3][4] [5] thus giving an opportunity for University and Industry to exchange knowledge and influence each other's viewpoint on current and future skills, knowledge and competence requirements. The next section provides more details about the above mentioned approaches.…”

“…Basically, the design science is applied as a research method [2], i.e., an innovative artifact is developed and tested regarding its applicability for the intended purpose. The research described in this paper is rooted in investigations in the area of knowledge requirements analysis that are reported in [3][4] [5]. Previous work proved that specific information systems support is needed to monitor changing knowledge requirements that come from industrial partners, standardization bodies and other institutions interested in the result of engineering education.…”

“…To narrow the identified conceptual gap the architecture of knowledge requirements monitoring system (KRMS) was designed that allows the fusion of knowledge requirements obtained from different sources thus supporting a higher availability of information concerning industrial knowledge needs and strengthening the links "IndustryàUniversity" and "UniversityàIndustry" [5]. This paper focuses on the development of specific services for enhancing mutual knowledge needs and availability awareness by providing feed-forward and feedback information links to the University and Industry.…”

Nowadays, graduates have a wide range of opportunities when they are thinking about their further education and it is difficult to choose whether it would be better to go one way or another. One of the most important drivers for the final decision is whether the study program chosen can lead to a good and interesting job in the future. That means that Universities have to reflect the answer to this question in the description of the study programs, but in order to do this they have to know what the main requirements from the Industry are. This paper, building upon the previous research showing that a knowledge requirements monitoring system and the processes behind it can improve the quality of study programs, focuses on application of the monitoring system for extracting and representing industrial requirements using skill frameworks and direct and indirect course and topic rating systems.

“…One more reason for this choice is the assumption that the use of e-CF may provide a positive impact on international recognition of study programs [18], [19] and student mobility across universities in the EU due to clear and accepted view on University provided knowledge, skills and competencies, which are transparently related to e-CF.…”

-In order to establish and maintain IT empowered cooperation between universities and industrial organizations; on the one hand universities should be informed about trends in the labour market, and on the other hand industrial organizations should have an insight into trends of knowledge development in universities. Furthermore, taking into consideration that a competency is becoming a kind of "currency" in the labour market, there is a need to compare competency demand from the industrial organizations and competency offer from the universities in order to see if the university can satisfy competency needs of industrial organizations. The use of competency frameworks and mappings between competency frameworks can facilitate information exchange about the competencies. The paper describes the method and the prototype for mediated competency comparison with respect to job descriptions and university courses. The prototype conforms to the architecture of collaboration support system and its services that have been designed with the purpose to maintain and exchange information between universities and industrial organizations.
