tospend millions of dollars for on-job training and rotational development program on their newlyhires. At the university level, there is always a challenge to implement the engineeringknowledge into industry practice and the real-life product and process applications.Traditionally, higher education institution in engineering introduced the experiential learningcurriculum via Senior Design Capstone Project with the local corporate partnership and theindustrial alumni network [1,2,3,4]. Industries value higher education institutions as the idealpartners to outsource their research and development activities and increase theircompetitiveness via the exchange of knowledge and technology. Meanwhile, their industrypartnerships represent a value-added

., 2023; Yeter et al., 2023). Such partnershipssimulate issues in the real world and expose learners to the environment in the industry(Waryoba et al., 2009; Pembridge & Paretti, 2010). An appropriate avenue for fosteringindustrial-university partnerships is through engineering capstone courses, where students areexpected to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts. By engaging with theindustries, students experience first-hand how products are developed, work with designconstraints, and learn communication and project management skill sets crucial for transitioninginto the workplace after graduation (Goldberg et al., 2014; Holt et al., 2004; Taraban et al.,2017).To adequately prepare engineering students to apply their skills

in various ways.However, these methods may not be as important for modern students entering industry orresearch, where the ability to be clear and succinct may be vital.As part of the capstone sequence at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), students inthe Computer Science and Software Engineering Programs are required to prepare and deliver anelevator pitch related to their project during the first term once the initial requirements have beenestablished. This pitch helps to solidify the project scope and is used as part of the continuousimprovement process for the programs.To help improve the capstone experience, a subset of elevator pitches for the programs wereevaluated by external, industrial advisory board members to provide

research question, “What are the industry perspectiveson assessed strengths and challenges related to professional and engineering design skills ofbioengineering seniors?”Building on prior coursework, the senior design capstone experience provides students with theopportunity to apply concepts and develop important skills necessary for transition to theirprofessional careers. In the bioengineering undergraduate programs at the University ofCalifornia San Diego, the senior design experience culminates with an event calledBioengineering Day (BE-Day), in which senior students present posters on their design project.Students have the unique opportunity to interact one-on-one with industrial professionals todiscuss their projects.
