Graduate Engineers' Perceptions of Their Engineering Courses: Comparison between Enhanced Engineering Courses and Their Conventional Counterparts.

Keenan, Tony

Higher Education, v26 n3 p255-65 Oct 1993

A study investigated the attitudes of engineering students (n=167) and graduates (n=220) who had taken courses which were enhanced to better prepare them for professional practice than conventional courses. In general, these students and graduates viewed their courses more favorably than those (n=353) in conventional courses. Some complaints were similar in the two groups. (Author/MSE)
