Although we will also be using student surveys and focus groups in thisproject, we decided to start with program alumni as we feel they are uniquely well-positioned todiscuss their learning experience in the program with a juxtaposition to their career and graduateschool experience, and speak to the relevance of the program’s teaching and learning approachesbeyond the program itself. Comparing faculty perceptions with alumni perceptions is key indistinguishing between the intended and the enacted curriculum [19], [20].To engage in this research, we sought previous research on comparing instructor and alumniperspectives.

Tocapture student experience of the use of the IDP and the faculty mentor relations, we solicitedlong-form responses to anonymous surveys. Analysis of reflections submitted in courses andcomponents allows for a window into longitudinal student development as well as their directreflections on the effects of the program. Finally, analysis of student questionnaires, a full reportof which appears as an appendix, sheds light on student development. We find that studentsbenefit from this program and encourage the incorporation of IDPs and other means of reflectioninto engineering curricula, particularly as a regular

As Eyler points out, such opportunities provide students with “‘real world’challenge” [5, p. 41], and through workplace experiences students often come to see “therelevance of the curriculum to life in a complex organization” [5, p. 50]. Eyler (1993) morespecifically found that co-op students learned how to be “an expert on people and organizations”[5, p. 47], including how to be an effective member of their employing organization. It has alsobeen argued that internship or co-op programs are helpful for students’ professional growth [6].Based on their empirical study with business students, Bhattacharya and Neelam reported thatstudents developed greater confidence, negotiation skills, social sensitivity, and cross-culturalunderstanding
