We aim to identify the needs and problems of industry and what industry would like to receive by way of support from tertiary educational facilities.

Some potential questions or concerns are:

• What are industries' requirements of South African tertiary educational facility graduates?
• Is the course material taught at our universities and technikons, etc, actually addressing any of our industrial requirements?
• What individual course should be considered required study for graduates not intending to remain in academia?
• Or, What would an Applied Physics course curriculum look like?
• How do businesses advertise their services to academia,
• and, how do businesses find academic help?

If you, as an industrialist in Southern Africa, have any comment on these or other questions, please send them to me for inclusion on this web site to applied{at}saip{dot}org{dot}za
