Third, curricula must continually be updated in order to remainrelevant and effective as new technologies and threats emerge. To tackle these challenges,educational strategies must be innovative, leveraging partnerships between industry andacademia, scalable virtual environments, and collaborative learning models [11].

To remaincurrent with advances in technology and heightened industry expectations, degree programs mustcontinuously reevaluate their curricula to ensure that graduates have the requisite skillsets andcompetencies to compete in today's – and tomorrow's – job market. Today’s students are beingtrained for jobs that did not exist even ten years ago. Indeed, many current jobs will be obsoleteten years from now. What remains unknown is how can we best prepare our students for this ever-changing job market?To address this, we have been researching best practices to produce top-tier students and foundthat continuous faculty development is key.

Focus Group Design In support of our efforts to evaluate engineering program improvements and to develop aresearch agenda alongside students and industry representatives, our project’s evaluation teamdesigned and implemented a focus group study. Through a process of collaboration, wedeveloped a focus group protocol in alignment with our conceptual model (Figure 1) and two ofour evaluation goals: 1) to improve students’ workplace-relevant skills in engineering/engineering technology to enter industry jobs; and 2) to develop a pathway for students to earn a certificate or degree, transfer to
as for getting the necessary insight forthose who would like to pursue graduate degrees and get involved in research associated withthese degrees. How students get hands-on experience varies widely among colleges, programs,and individuals. A lot of programs make efforts to introduce hands-on approaches in their coursesthrough labs and project-based courses. The senior (capstone) projects are for most of theengineering programs the most comprehensive projects, asking the students to go from statingthe problem to formulating and designing a solution and to actually build and test the proposedsolution. Often, the senior projects are initiated from industry collaborations. Another way togain practical experience is to encourage and support

However, researchers have indicated that there areseveral knowledge deficiencies [1] in the learning outcomes of the students who are graduatingfrom Computer science and software engineering courses such that those students are unable tomeet the expectations of the industry. This result can be traced back to lack of understanding offundamental programming concepts leading to development of poorly developed software. Partof this may be a result of students and instructors lack access to vetted learning content onprogramming concepts leading to high dropout rates in introductory programming courses [8].While there can be numerous factors that
