Bridging Engineering Education Gaps for Industry: Mapping Entry-Level Competency Expectations Across Academia and Industry Braude academic college, Israel The Engineering graduates often enter the workforce unprepared for the cross-disciplinary, agile, and AI-augmented demands of Industry nowadays. This study investigates the misalignment between academic engineering curricula and industry expectations through a qualitative analysis of three expert interviews and content mapping across ten course syllabi. Results reveal key gaps in business reasoning, interdisciplinary teamwork, and hands-on system integration. Based on these findings, we recommend targeted pedagogical interventions, including embedding AI-enabled tools, simulating industry-relevant design processes, and requiring multidisciplinary collaboration in early academic years. These suggestions support the ongoing development of Education 4.0 frameworks that prepare engineers for digital-era work environments. | |
