. Both researchers then reviewed the data together for inter-raterreliability.Students were asked to respond, in writing, to seven, open-ended questions: background story,reason for choosing the institution and the program, impact of the program, impact of thefinancial support provided by the program, plans after graduation, and best program memory aspart of the program evaluation process. The question of interest related to the value-addedprogram activities was the students’ responses to “best program memory” (RQ1, RQ2). Promptsfor “best program memory” were: “talk about working with your mentor, interaction with othersin the program, etc.” The prompts served as stimulants to recall types of most-memorableexperiences.

Engineers practice teaching using few technical terms, real-world analogies and multi-media to ensure understanding for audiences with limited education.Engineers learn to use assessment practices such as graphic organizers to ensure families makesignificant knowledge gains24.

[4] writes – universities use internships/co-ops to enable students to develop arange of skills and to help clarify and refine employment intentions and improve their careergoals.As individuals what we perceive at times is totally different than the reality of working full timein a profession. Often you hear individuals say “I would have liked to have been a researcher oran engineering designer, but I could not see myself working all my life in that setting.” A co-opjob allows students to try out the jobs they may wish to pursue in the future and to prepare for thepossibility of working in those settings

SolvingAbstractWorkplace problems are different from traditional textbook or classroom problemsbecause they are ill-structured and complex in nature. Research shows that engineersneed a wide range of knowledge and skills in order to succeed in workplace problemsolving. However, it is unclear how engineering students, who will become professionalsin the workplace after graduation, experience real world engineering problem solving.Motivated by a desire to better understand engineering problems and prepare students forengineering practice, this study aims to explore students’ experiences of workplaceproblems solving. As previous research points out that educational programs such as theCo-Op program provide opportunities for students to observe and experience
