pervasiveness of capstoneprograms that partner with external sponsors to provide a “real-world” design experience tostudents. In this vein, the industry-sponsored Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship(ENGINE) capstone program was established at the Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering at a large research university in the US. ENGINE is designed to provide a holisticand professional engineering experience to students in an educational setting, where studentteams work on a six-month long project under the guidance of an industry and a faculty mentor.The program is overseen by a course instructor and teaching assistants who manage the coursestructure and expectations.This study compares student experiences in ENGINE during remote

purposes include researchpartnerships, industry advisory boards, and various efforts to provide students with authenticengineering experiences (e.g., sponsored capstone projects, co-op programs, and internships).Literature ReviewWith the knowledge that research on a variety of aspects has taken place, this concentratedliterature review aimed instead to focus on areas critical to these authors. Of particular interestwere research partnerships and those relationships where industry provides input into curricularpartnerships, especially relationships centered around engineering and engineering technologyprograms. A final section of this brief review will outline areas that may benefit from furtherresearch that were found while searching for existing

for 1) work-based learning, 2)career and technical student organizations (CTSOs), or capstone experiences that engagestudents through formal or informal learning. Florida’s Experiential Learning Frameworkprovides examples of work-based learning as career experiences (e.g., practicum, internships,registered apprenticeships or pre-apprenticeships, and on-the-job training), and careerengagement (e.g., directed student or other capstone courses, school enterprise, service learning,simulated work environments, or participation in CTSOs. Experiential learning also includespreparation for work-based learning, which includes career exposure (e.g., job shadowing,mentoring, company tours, and informational interviews) and career exploration (e.g

settings [3]. The concerns about discrepancy between the industry expectations and graduate practice readiness has been alluded to for general engineering [6], studied within software engineering [11], civil engineering [10], and chemical engineering graduates [12]. Literature has shown that there are a number of approaches higher education institutions have taken to improve their graduates’ practice readiness, some of which have enhanced students’ employability through developing generic skills or holistic competencies [4]. Additionally, some institutions have implemented capstone design classes, in an effort to meet ABET criteria on student outcomes and address concerns regarding graduates ill-prepared for industrial
