印度对工程学毕业生补充性培训的巨大需求表明，学术教育与行业要求之间存在不匹配。本文找出了学术界和产业界之间的差距，并提出了一种利用学习型工厂的概念来弥合这一差距的方法。根据与行业专业人士的讨论和文献查阅，确定了新毕业工程师的能力和印度行业对毕业生的能力要求。已经发现，技术和社会能力要求相匹配，但在方法能力方面存在差距。这就需要在就业之初对研究生进行工程师培训。事实证明，额外的培训对该行业来说既耗时又昂贵。为了弥补这一差距，印度一所顶尖大学已经实施了一个学习工厂试验台。预计拟议的学习工厂将使印度的研究生工程师为大学一级的工作做好准备，并使额外的研究生工程师培训成为多余的。这项研究还提供了利用学习工厂作为印度技术学术体系的一个组成部分的路线图。
The massive demand for complementary training of engineering graduates in India indicates a mismatch between academic education and industry requirements. This paper identifies the gap between academia and industry and presents an approach to bridge it using the concept of Learning Factories. The competencies of the newly graduate engineers and the competency requirements of Indian industry for graduates have been identified based on discussions with industry professionals and literature review. It has been found that the technical and social competency requirements match, but there is a gap regarding the methodological competency. This necessitates graduate engineer trainings at the start of employment. The additional trainings prove to be time consuming and costly for the industry. To bridge this gap a Learning Factory test bed has been implemented at a premier Indian university. It is expected that the proposed Learning Factory will make the Indian graduate engineers ready for the job at university level and the additional graduate engineer training redundant. The study also provides a roadmap of utilizing Learning Factories as an integral part for the Indian technical academic system.
