Mapping Engineering Students’ Learning Outcomes From International Experiences: Designing an Instrument to Measure Attainment of Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes

Employability Skill Development Needs of Engineering Students and Employers' Feedback on Their Internship Performance

“…"We were treated as if we are part of their family. Although, I stayed only five (5) months in the department, I felt that I already have a place in the office and I'm one of them. They are very approachable and they are not selfish of their knowledge and experiences.…”

“…The total graduates during Academic Year 2015-2016 is composed of 50 graduates while 32 during 2017 and 43 in 2018. The instrument used for the study in determining the level of employability skills of engineering graduates was adapted from the study of Rosenberg,Heimler and Morote [36] which is divided into eight (8) different areas with the corresponding number of items: Literacy and Numeracy Skills-LNS (5), Critical Thinking Skills-CTS (6), Leadership Skills-LS (5), Management Skills-MS (4), Interpersonal Skills-IS (6), Information technology Skills-ITS 7, System Thinking Skills-STS 7, Work Ethics-WE (7). Meanwhile, the institutional internship performance evaluation is being utilized by the University to evaluate the performance of its students enrolled in internship program.…”

“…Meanwhile, the institutional internship performance evaluation is being utilized by the University to evaluate the performance of its students enrolled in internship program. This is divided into four dimensions: knowledge (5), technical skills 5, attitude (5) and personality (5). These instruments were content validated by the experts in engineering education, measurement and evaluation, and industrial psychology.…”

“…Employability skills are being given higher emphasis from the moment the students entered high school and being strengthened when started studying in college. These are necessary soft and hard skills [1][2][3][4] which students should know and possess as part of learning outcomes of engineering programs [5,6]. Problems occur when they are about to finish their degree and still they do not possess yet the necessary employability skills which are considered important if not really a requirement for internship or on-the-job training program.…”

Analyzing learning outcomes in a materials science & nano engineering curriculum

“…Revize Edilmiş Bloom Taksonomisinde Bilişsel Süreç Boyutları İle Örnek Eylem Fiilleri(Yolcu, 2019;Moore, 2018;Zhu et al, 2019) Journal of Higher Education and Science dersler programlara eklenmiştir. Programlar oluşturulurken iyi yapılandırılmış öğrenme çıktılarının oluşturulması etkin bir mühendislik eğitimi için vazgeçilmezdir(Moore, 2018;Zhu et al, 2019). Ayrıca Bologna süreci kapsamında iyi yapılandırılmış öğrenme çıktılarının belirlenmesi bölümlerin eğitim seviyesini göstermesi açısından da önemlidir.…”
