“…This issue becomes a challenge to universities to provide standard curriculum in order to produce graduates who are multi-skilled and implicates to the curriculum and the factors supporting the career development of students. In order to achieve both benefits to universities and industries, a collaboration between them should be reorganized (26)(27)(28). An interrelated relation between academic researcher, university and industry has to be built.…”

Recently, universities keep receiving complaints from the industries regarding the capability of engineering graduates when starting their new job. The complaints were always about the inability of the engineering graduates to adapt in the industry. This is due to minimum exposure of industrial training period given by university to them. As a result, most of fresh engineering graduates do not have enough industry experience that is demanded by industry. Worse case, there is mismatching skill during industrial training which not relevance to what they are studied before. This problem contributes to unemployment issue among engineering fresh graduates. The purpose of this paper is to review and analyse about the engineering competencies from all over the world. The paper is written on extensive secondary data analysis. It is revealed that the criteria needed by employers from most developed countries are almost similar. Based on summary, technical and non-technical skills are both important to become a competent engineer. There are some recommendations to develop and improve both technical and non-technical skills that can be emphasized by authorities of higher education especially in Malaysia.

“…This is confirmed by firm assessments of the main motives for KTT activities with universities. Firms are motivated, firstly, to get better access to human capital (see Geisler and Rubinstein, 1989;Schartinger et al, 2001;Onida and Malerba, 1989;Arvanitis et al, 2005a). Secondly, to have better access to new knowledge and technology for improving the firm's knowledge base (see Lee, 2000;Santoro and Chakrabarti, 2002;Schmoch, 2003;Arvanitis et al, 2005a).…”

“…Geisler and Rubenstein [5] also conducted a literature review as early as 1989 to identify major issues in university-industry relation research, including inherent differences in mission and objectives of the universities, differences in organizational structure and policies regarding technology transfer, and so on. Phan and Siegel presented a review of papers measuring the effectiveness of university technology licensing and business formation [6].…”

“…The authors categorized those mechanisms into four groups: industrial extension services, procurement of services, cooperative research, and research parks. The results show that university-industry interaction may range from a one-shot transfer of information to a complex and longer relationship, as in a research park or a cooperative research center [5]. Table 5: Different categories and forms of industry-science relations (Brennenraedts, et al) [43] In a related research Bekkers et al study 24 knowledge and technology transfer channels from university to industry in the Netherlands and conclude that the relative importance of these knowledge transfer channels are not affected by the sector of the industry, yet by the disciplinary origins, the characteristics of the underlying knowledge, the characteristics of researchers involved in producing and using this knowledge (individual characteristics), and the environment in which knowledge is produced and used (institutional characteristics) [44].…”

Academic knowledge and technology transfer has been growing in importance both in academic research and practice. A critical question in managing this activity is how to evaluate its effectiveness. The literature shows an increasing number of studies done to address this question; however, it also reveals important gaps that need more research.One novel approach is to evaluate the effectiveness of this activity from an organizational point of view, which is to measure how much knowledge and technology transfer from a university fulfills the mission of the institution. This research develops a Hierarchical The Index helps an academic institution assess the current performance of its knowledge and technology transfer with respect to its mission. This robust model also helps decision makers discover areas where the university is performing well, or needs to pay more attention. In addition, the university can benchmark its own performance against its peers in order to set up a roadmap for improvement. It is proved that this is the first index in the literature which truly evaluates the effectiveness of university knowledge and technology transfer from an organizational perspective. Practitioners in the area of academic technology transfer can also apply this evaluation model to quantitatively evaluate the performance of their institutions for strategic decision making purposes.ii Dedication I would like to dedicate this work to my mother, one of the greatest mothers in this world.To my beloved wife, Huong Nguyen, and our wonderful children, who supported me during my study with love and patience.iii Acknowledgements
