They suggested conducting moreresearch to see if there are any potential discrepancies in issues similar to those raised in thecurrent study [29].The previous studies have confirmed that there is a gap between engineering education andindustrial practices and skills. Much of this gap can be attributed to the lack of the engineeringfaculty's industrial experience, as most universities focus on research [16]. Other reasons for thisgap can be related to differences in the way of thinking and differences in their goals andobjectives, as academics strive for recognition from their

The study consisted of 110 students, and researchers trackedstudent use of interactive exercises, referred to as tutors, for each module. They then comparedthe grades of quizzes for each module for those who used low (one to six), medium (seven to 14),and high (15 to 23) numbers of tutors per module.

A graduate student whowas new in the lab commented on asking other people for help: "Because I am less experiencedin the code...
