Abstract
The Institute CIM for Sustainable Innovation (ICIMSI), being part of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), supports local industrial and service sectors through knowledge creation and transfer. In this framework, ICIMSI develops various initiatives in engineering education and learning both concerning continuous education and higher education. The paper presents the strategy followed by ICIMSI in each of these initiatives as well as the level and type of involvement of the industrial partners. The courses genesis, their structure and their contents are also pointed out.
