This book discusses the significant gap between teaching modules in engineering education and the actual needs of industry in the field of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC), particularly in the room air-conditioner manufacturing sector. While RAC courses at universities emphasize theoretical understanding such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, and psychometrics, the industry requires capabilities in system application, performance analysis, standards compliance and practical problem-solving skills. Through an analysis of academic curricula and product development practices in industry, this book proposes pedagogical strategies that can help bridge this gap. It also highlights the important role of lecturers in understanding the real context of engineering work in manufacturing environments through industry visits, industrial attachments, and collaboration with experienced engineers. One of the key contributions of this book is the guidance provided to lecturers in designing and promoting short courses based on real industry needs, particularly to assist young or experienced engineers in revisiting theoretical fundamentals and aligning them with actual performance test data. Such modules have the potential to directly contribute to improving product development quality and reducing the development time of new models. This book is suitable as a reference for lecturers, engineers, curriculum planners, industrial training managers and stakeholders in engineering education. It is also aligned with national efforts to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry through policies and strategic partnership frameworks.
