dididentify this concept as a source of weakness. For questions 8 & 9, technical content depth andintegration both received considerable attention from all three groups, with the TA having agreater emphasis on these. In general there is fairly good correspondence between the IAB andpeer reviews, while the TA appears to have a greater focus towards the later questions related totechnical content. It is encouraging that the students seem to have similar concerns as industry.As we saw above industry tends to provide lower evaluations than students but they appear toagree on what is important.Summary and ConclusionsSummary This paper describes a project to integrate professional skill development, specifically oralcommunication skills, into a
