Description As Information System (IS) development is closely related to industry and real-world applications, industrial involvement is a critical element in IS education. This paper studies one typical IS course - a Software Quality course, and reflects our experience with involving a mix of industrial experts in building a practical IS course that would increase students' competences in critical thinking about the consequences of the design and quality engineering decisions that they are making during software development. In the course design, the industrial experts are involved in lecturing, hands-on-exercise seminars and final students evaluation. We find that students are showing active course participation with our designed industrial involvement. Furthermore, we summarize lessons learned from the industry involvement, as well as the reflections on the value perceived by the industrial experts involved in the IS education.
