Abstract
In this chapter we report on the university-level teaching and learning of topics at the interface of mathematics and industry. We focus on questions from several topics from the EIMI document: the Teaching and Learning of Industrial Mathematics, the Teaching and Learning for communication and collaboration, Curriculum and Syllabus issues, and on the Teacher training. We shall see that there is a diverse range of pedagogical and training practices surrounding industrial mathematics internationally. After reviewing the specific questions that the Working Group 5 (WG5) addressed at the 2010 EIMI conference in Lisbon, and which were partially complemented and discussed at the Macau 2011 Workshop, we present some reported experiences, discussions, and recommendations. We also present brief introductions to some selected papers from the Conference Proceedings.
