CHI '95 Increasing Collaboration between Industry and Academia in HCI Education A CHI '95 Workshop Maxine S. Cohen, Laurie P. Dringus, Andrew Sears, Susan B. Hornstein Introduction A workshop at C H I '92 [1] proposed a list of skills and attributes that successful H C I practitioners must possess. Some skills can be learned in an academic setting, some attributes are personality traits, and some knowledge can only be gained on the job. The C H I "92 list was used as a starting point to discuss how a collaborative approach between academia and industry can foster such skills and attributes in H C I students. Such collaboration benefits education programs by helping to ensure that their content effectively prepares students for careers in industry. It benefits industry by bringing them effective job candidates. And finally, the collaboration itself benefits both academia and industry by enriching them both. This workshop was one of a series of workshops sponsored by C H I under the heading of H C I Education, 2. Identify ways the industry can provide benefit for H C I education programs. 3. Identify ways to increase collaboration between industry and academia. C HI '95
