Abstract

The exchange between industry and academia is of great importance. One effective but often overlooked form of exchange is the inclusion of guest lectures by industry experts in the syllabus. This paper discusses examples of industrial lecturers in process control and automation and gives an overview of lectures delivered by ABB
employees. An example details how a feedback control loop is seen in the context of automation. Prerequisites for a successful exchange and the benefits for students, academics and industry are discussed.
