They suggested conducting moreresearch to see if there are any potential discrepancies in issues similar to those raised in thecurrent study [29].The previous studies have confirmed that there is a gap between engineering education andindustrial practices and skills. Much of this gap can be attributed to the lack of the engineeringfaculty's industrial experience, as most universities focus on research [16]. Other reasons for thisgap can be related to differences in the way of thinking and differences in their goals andobjectives, as academics strive for recognition from their
