The paper proposes to analyse reasons for deficiencies in UIC with a comparative analysis of the curriculum of the industrial design (ID) department of Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) and Linnaeus University (LNU), and taking feedback from industry. As a comparative analysis of curriculum, ID programmes in IZTECH and LNU were examined to understand differences and similarities. To develop UIC for IZTECH, LNU was accepted as an example, and then the two institutions were compared according to each curriculum. For comparison of ID courses, the taxonomy method in the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) Handbook 2014-2015 was used. There are three categories for design courses, which are professional design practice (PDP), design studies (DS), and design thinking (DT) . Within the scope of curriculum development for university-industry collaboration, feedback was taken from companies that have a design department or are an employer of new ID graduates. For this purpose, surveys were sent to different companies. As a result of curriculum analysis and a survey with industry, courses that need to be developed belong to PDP and DT groups, which are more practice and teamwork based. A solution can be adding new courses to curriculum that contain more teamwork and innovative and collaborative activities. Also, content of existing courses can be developed on DT characteristics.  \nKey words  \nIndustrial product design education; curriculum; master’s degree programme; comparative analysis; university-industry collaboration.  \n1 Introduction  \nUniversity-industry collaborations (UIC) are increasingly significant to make contributions to economy and society. The mutual relationship can generate knowledge used in production to achieve efficiency in economy and innovation and in this way firms gain a significant competitive  \nadvantage in world markets. University-industry collaboration also provides the following benefits regarding learning effectiveness: supporting instructors to update their knowledge; providing a basis for their scientific research; carrying out research to develop fundamental sciences; promoting scientific research by publications and students training as well (Qın, Mkhıtaryan & Bhuıyan, 2017) .  \nInteraction can take a variety of forms, including both direct and indirect mechanisms (Guenther & Wagner, 2008), recently being labelled as ‘academic engagement’ (Perkmann et al., 2013) . From the 1980s, UIC has intensified and therefore received growing attention from researchers, policymakers and practitioners (Etzkowitz, 1998) . Government initiatives and changes in the institutional framework have facilitated cooperation (van Looy, Debackere & Andries, 2003; Guenther & Wagner, 2008) . However, there is still a gap between the knowledge produced by university researchers and what is used in practice (Siegel, Waldman & Link, 2003) . Indeed, a great amount of knowledge created in academia does not come to be applied and consequently create value (Sedlacek, 2013) . Given this situation, the literature has progressively dealt with the phenomenon of UIC (Barbolla & Corredera, 2009; Gulbrandsen, Mowery & Feldman, 2011), taking different perspectives, which vary significantly according to the mechanisms/interaction channels, and the units of analysis considered. Since people are considered as the universal drivers to ensure successful UIC (Plewa et al., 2013), most research has focused on the individuals acting in the field (Franco & Haase, 2015) .  \nFirms collaborate with","cbCaiiD01f151puS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiD01f151puS","pdf",615832,22,"English","# Introduction\n## University-industry collaboration significance and benefits\n## Forms of interaction and academic engagement\n## Knowledge-practice gap and research focus\n## Collaboration motives for firms and university researchers\n## Classification challenges and collaboration modes","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper aim to investigate about university-industry collaboration?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to analyze reasons for deficiencies in university-industry collaboration by comparing the curricula of ID programs at IZTECH and LNU and using industry feedback.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the ID courses compared between the two institutions?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses the taxonomy method from the NASAD Handbook 2014-2015 to examine differences and similarities among ID course groups.\"},{\"question\":\"Which course groups are identified as needing further development, and what solutions are suggested?\",\"answer\":\"Courses needing development are in the PDP and DT groups.
