Educationalists want to impart knowledge to students in the best possible way. In the engineering field, they want their students to be entrepreneural, productive and innovative. This happens most when there is a involvement from the relevant industry. This makes my current job very satisfying.
The feeders to the entire education system are the faculties. Students get close guidence and instruction from them. I loved it when I was a faculty. The unfortunate situation is that in the traditional education system faculties are too busy getting research grants or writing books etc. Industry can and have reached out to faculties and students via various mechanisms. The best approach is to acknowledge that this is benefitial to both sides and work as partners.
