摘要：This study investigates the importance of university-industry collaboration (UIC), types of UIC and success criteria of university-industry joint research projects at a research university in Malaysia. Responses of academics from the field of social science and engineering in the research university were compared. Independent Samples Test (t-test) analysis revealed that academics of both fields viewed universities play crucial roles in UIC i.e. university should provide services to industry and society; and generate local economy through research commercialization. The prevalent type of UIC was mainly confined to supervising students’ industrial training in the field of social science, while, advising acquaintances in industry scored highly by academics from the field of engineering. Academics of both fields agreed that measurement for UIC success should consist of publication; future research cooperation; improved wealth creation and Intellectual Property (IP) protection. However, they differ in the main success criteria with academics from social science focusing on publication, while, the engineering field proposing wealth creation to university. Finally, future research on UIC’s topic is offered.
