The community organizations likewise have benefitted greatly from thesepartnerships, benefitting from the university’s expertise in technology and the creation of newproducts and processes that support the organizations core mission [21].

In the future, we will modify the final report requirements toexplicitly call for a discussion on the limitations of their design solution.Although these data provide valuable insights into the perceptions of industry stakeholdersregarding the skills of our students, one of the limitations of this study is that we are relying ontwo years of assessment. We plan to conduct an additional assessment in the next cycle, in orderto investigate any impacts of our curriculum interventions. We also plan to engage with evenmore industry partners across company types, so that we can increase the number of

Overall, the responsefrom the IAC members who participated was quite enthusiastic, and most have committed torepeating the process again.The technique is being repeated with the next set of students who started one term later. This setis a much smaller set of students, but again can help to refine the process.Going forward, the intent is to roll the assessment out to all senior design teams and then lookcloser at how this approach impacts the validity of the internal assessment. There is alsoconsideration of having students complete a follow-up reflection on the IAC feedback.References[1] M. El-Sayed and J. El-Sayed

How do HEIs strike this balance in providingtechnical knowledge while still preparing students for the working world?So, what can be done to close this gap? There does not seem to be one solution. A key elementdiscussed in literature is the need for experiential learning.

Please discuss how the industrial collaboration (a) influenced your perception towardsproblem-solving, (b) influenced your opinion on ethics, and (c) affected your confidence as anengineer, i.e., self-efficacy.”Data AnalysisWe employed a qualitative inductive approach to analyze the data.

In addition, IABs provide students with employment and internship opportunities tobridge the gap between classroom materials and practical experiences. Most IABs have bi-annualor annual meetings at academic institutions to provide feedback and general program assistance.However, this feedback may take a long time to be implemented due to a lack of initiative andfollow-up between meetings, leading to a lack of meaningful engagement from the IABmembers.
