University–industry collaboration is widely recognized as beneficial for curriculum design and delivery, yet existing development models are rarely concrete or broadly applicable. This paper proposes a cooperative model grounded in the Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle to guide curriculum design. The model is illustrated through its implementation in two welding courses within a Manufacturing Engineering Master’s program. Student, teacher, and industry evaluations indicate the model effectively bridges industrial needs and academia and is generalizable to other educational fields.
The advantages and importance of university–industry collaboration, particularly in curriculum design and delivery, are well-known. However, although curriculum development models are available in the literature, very few are sufficiently concrete to be applicable in practice or are generalizable beyond their discipline of origin. In this paper, a co-operative model based on the Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle is presented and described. An example of its application in the curriculum design of two courses in welding within a Manufacturing Engineering Master’s program is detailed. The model was found successful based on the evaluation of the courses by students, teachers, and the industrial representatives involved. Therefore, it proved to be an effective tool for bridging the gap between industrial needs and academia in the field of Manufacturing Engineering education. At the same time, the methodology is generalizable and is applicable to any field of education.
