The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura recently paid a visit to Twinery – Innovations by MAS, a prominent apparel and technology company in the region, with the aim of exploring potential opportunities for collaboration and mutual growth.
One of the primary objectives of the visit was to identify scenarios where computer-based automation could be applied within the industry. The faculty members were keen on understanding how modern technology and automation could enhance the efficiency and productivity of Twinery ‘ processes.
Another important aspect of the visit was to create collaborative projects between the engineering faculty and Twinery. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry by working on real-world challenges and finding innovative solutions together. These projects would not only benefit the students but also contribute to the growth of Twinery.
In addition to collaborative projects, the faculty explored the possibility of creating final year projects for engineering students based on solving industry-related problems. This practical approach ensures that students are well-prepared for the demands of the job market, while also helping Twinery find novel solutions to their challenges.
Furthermore, the faculty discussed the potential for consulting Twinery on introducing automation into their processes and improving overall operational efficiency. This consultation would be a win-win situation, as the company can benefit from the expertise of the faculty, while students gain valuable hands-on experience.
Lastly, the visit allowed the faculty to evaluate the progress of interns currently working at Twinery Innovations. By assessing the interns’ performance and learning experiences, the faculty can tailor their educational programs to better align with the industry’s needs, ensuring that students are well-equipped to make meaningful contributions to the workforce upon graduation.
In conclusion, the visit of the Faculty of Engineering from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura to Twinery Innovations marked the beginning of a promising partnership. Through collaboration on automation, projects and final year project ideas, both the academic institution and the industry are set to benefit, fostering innovation and growth in the field of engineering.
