Engineering Education, 2024 Industry Perspectives on Professional and Design Skills of Bioengineering Senior StudentsAbstractProfessional and design skill development is an essential part of engineering education [1], yet,according to industry feedback, many students struggle to satisfactorily develop these skillsduring their time as undergraduates [2], [3]. Despite numerous approaches to improve students’preparedness for the work environment through academia-industry collaborations (see [4]), theperceptions of industry experts on strengths and weaknesses of current senior engineeringstudents remain widely unspecified in the literature. In this work, we are using a systematicapproach and framework to examine the

A closerinterdependence between the manufacturing base and their local communities can and shouldstrengthen both.
