This paper reports on general aspects of the EAP in order to provide the context and thenfocuses on the important relationship between project-based coursework and studentemployment opportunities. Some of the challenges in the academic environment include thesometimes competing goals of (1) providing relevant projects based upon real industry need, and(2) the accompanying expectations of professional
