Abstract

Griffith School of Engineering and Built Environment (EBE) and School of Computing, Mathematics and Engineering (SoCME) at Charles Sturt University run two distinct work integrated learning (WIL) courses to prepare students for their industry careers. To maximize students’ experience, students are expected to possess certain knowledge and sets of skills before their industry placements, which will help them to successfully apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. However, as it is not possible to teach every single skill during the undergraduate years at university, there may be mismatches between the student’s knowledge level, competencies, and skills from one side, and the needs of the industry from the other side.
