Having well-prepared engineering graduates for the workplace has been of great importance in the last few decades (Warsame, 2017;Anastasiu, Anastasiu, Dumitran, Crizboi, Holmaghi, & Roman, 2017;Pan, 2014). However, engineering graduates and trainees of a private Lebanese university seem to face difficulties during their training and in the workplace. Furthermore, little research has been done on this university's engineering educational program. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the extent to which the engineering educational program at a private Lebanese university is preparing its students for the workplace. A mixed-methods design and different data collection instruments were used in this research study. A purposive sample of a hundred graduates and trainees of different engineering majors were surveyed. Additionally, six personal interviews were held with three graduates and three trainees of diverse engineering majors. The quantitative data collected were analyzed using Excel while the qualitative data were thematically analyzed. The collected quantitative and qualitative data were triangulated, and a lot of commonalities between them were detected. In fact, the findings revealed that most respondents reported that neither their lab nor their theoretical courses fully prepared them for the workplace. Nevertheless, most participants stated that their internship experience enhanced both their practical and soft skills. Appropriate recommendations such as encouraging instructors to include real-life case studies to enhance students' problem-solving skills and adding up-to-date equipment to the labs, were suggested to improve the engineering educational program at this private Lebanese university so that it can help its engineering graduates better survive in the workplace.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
