. The challenge is to create educational environments that fostercomprehensive training that includes meaningful connections to the real world of work, whilefacilitating the development of self-efficacy beliefs and soft skills all leading to the competencynecessary for the job market and employers’ expectations (Harris, J. G, et al, 2013). As stated byClark (2012), higher education must enhance the employability and work readiness of itsgraduates by helping the students to transfer the knowledge gained in the classrooms intosituations in the labor market (Clark, S. 2012). Employability has been recognized as a lifelongprocess that supports students’ development of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors whichwill enable them to be successful

These programs believe that learning is better achievedthrough a blend of formal academic training and experiential learning that is achieved whenstudents apply their technical knowledge to lead real-world projects.The SIUC Leadership Development Program The LDP is a two-year program whose purpose is to train students for future challenges bydeveloping team-building, interpersonal skills, character, and leadership skills. Student’s skills areimproved by experiences the program provides, such as life skills lectures, leadership classes,individual mentoring, community service projects, and leading engineering student competitionteams. The program participations are divided into two groups: the first

It can be found that during lastdecade there is dramatic drop in number of students Trimester II Computer Programming-IIenrolling in IT and Computer science courses. Alsoattrition ratio is also continues to be significant [2]. After Trimester III Computer Applicationa keen survey by Teague has found that students arefacing problems while learning programming, such as,difficult content, lack of enjoyment, inability to see Program : MBA Tech ( First Year)relevance to ”real world” application of the unit content,lack of motivation to learn, lack of inability to learn

outlining the course and its content was intensified in the spring of 2012. The subject forthe course decided upon was “Innovations and Product Development”, being key words for both LU and ZJU.The pedagogical intention was to support the students learning in “relating parts of the subject matter to eachother and to the real world” and “comprehending the world by reinterpreting knowledge”. The course was titled“international Market-Driven Engineering (iMDE)”.The two universities already had cooperative agreements that the course could leverage upon. One such exampleis the Joint Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (LU-ZJU JCIE), a platform aiming to help realize jointactivities of innovation and entrepreneurship. iMDE is a joint course

It should be note that the above inverted and interactivefeatures of the pedagogy are equally applicable (and can/should be applied) to on-campuseducation. However, if students on local campuses can learn from and work with directly peersfrom different universities across physical, institutional, political, and cultural distances, theywill certainly learn much more.
