One of such methodologies is based on the use of “profile of an engineer” developed by Davis et. al. 6 This work documents the important roles filled by a practicing engineer and the observable behaviors necessary for effective performance. Some learning outcomes, developed in this work, can be achieved at an elementary level in the classroom. However, the classroom being a part of a university setting, not a corporate environment is limited in context and scope and can only provide a limited simulation to real life work setting of an engineer. To provide the educational experiences for producing the full desired set of outcomes and to close the gap between a graduating engineer and a real practitioner co op education or internships are the key. During this type of experiential learning, engineers in the field provide the real life model of professional behaviors and practices directly to students. Meanwhile, engineering students are also being socialized to the corporate environment and gradually begin to perform some professional activities with increasing responsibility. The knowledge constructed through co op experiences can lead to the students’ development of the Holistic Interpersonal Skills and Professional Behaviors of Davis’ engineering profile. This paper presents evidence that co op and classroom education are complementary and necessary components for the development of a quality engineering education and job-ready engineering graduates. Introduction Apprenticeship has long been held as one way to learn a craft from an expert. Before there were formal learning institutions, this was the most prevalent means that a society used to educate its youth. As education became more formalized, the experiential means of teaching were largely set aside. Experiential learning and classroom learning became two separate silos. Theory was communicated through lectures in classrooms, while practical knowledge was imparted through vocational training and deemed secondary. However, feedback from industrial advisory boards and employers of engineering graduates has brought to the forefront that practical know-how must be integrated into engineering education. It is not enough to be “book smart.” Industry wants engineers who are flexible, savvy and can produce quality results in real world situations. Higher education must find ways to educate engineering students with both practical and theoretical knowledge to ensure the student’s success. ABET1 has led the charge by instituting learning outcomes for accreditation. Many of these outcomes are not technical but are considered “soft skills.” Soft skills include interpersonal, “people” skills. Following ABET’ s lead, higher education is experimenting with methodologies to address all outcomes, and to find ways to instill them in to their students. Because of increased assessment analysis of the learning outcomes, there have been documented deficiencies in engineering graduates for some outcomes, especially those pertaining to the soft skills such as effective communication, multidisciplinary teamwork and professional self-development.2 Higher education has taken steps to address such deficiencies by increasing student oral" @default.
