Abstract
The present paper discusses a case study of industryinstitute
collaboration project for fulfilling curriculum
on project-based learning of university students. The
case study is conducted with objective to expose
students with latest technologies; identify the practices
to bridge the gap between institute and industry and
implement industry interaction project. The project
was developed in closed feedback loop to improve
the quality. The involvement of students was from
analysis phase to testing phase of the project. The
benefits of the project-based learning were, students
got adequate knowledge of latest technologies used
in software industry; experienced the importance
of team-work; industry interaction of faculty has
been increased. Although, the project delivered is
not as per the expectation of project leader but many
lessons are learned by conducting case study. Paper
further highlights the hurdles faced during project
development phases and suggest the remedies to avoid
the hurdles. Thus, the presented case study is part
of project-based learning and essentially improves
software engineering learning process.
