*Professor Esther Ngah Director of the School of Chemical Engineering and Mineral Industries visits Kesmonds International University Ngaoundere Cameroon campus.*
The Director of the School of Chemical Engineering and Mineral Industries EGCIM of the Public University of Ngaoundere Professor Esther Ngah paid a working visit to Kesmonds International University Ngaoundere campus. During the working visit the Rector of Kesmonds International University welcomed the team of EGCIM as they shared a tete-a-tete plan on the nature of their collaboration. Both Directors share a common goal of industrializing their faculties into small and medium-sized enterprises. The creation of industries within university faculties will be crucial for enhancing the relevance and applicability of academic research. As universities traditionally emphasize theoretical contributions, they often lag in addressing immediate industry needs. By fostering industries within their frameworks, universities can create a symbiotic relationship where both academia and industry benefit from shared resources and knowledge. This collaboration enables both institutions to translate theoretical insights into practical applications, ultimately enriching the educational experience for students while addressing real-world challenges.
At Kesmonds we believe that any university is an industry, establishing industries within university faculties encourages the development of curricula that are aligned with current market demands. The model proposed by team Kesmonds highlights the importance of ongoing advisory boards composed of industry representatives who provide real-time input on curriculum development. Such partnerships ensure that graduates are equipped with relevant skills, thus enhancing employability and fulfilling workforce requirements. This alignment not only prepares students but also fosters innovation by integrating cutting-edge industry practices into academic programs. In conclusion, creating industries within university faculties serves to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application. By strengthening these ties through structured collaboration models universities can cultivate an entrepreneurial environment that benefits faculty, students, and industry alike. The resulting synergy has the potential to drive economic growth while positioning universities as pivotal players in shaping future innovations.
