Benchmarking the Industrial Expectations of Civil Engineering Students through Internship Placements

Abstract:

In view of the importance of undergraduate students professional attributes development in higher education, this study was conducted in order to investigate the effectiveness and relevancy of the two years undergraduate studies pre-requisite for industrial internships. The outcomes indicate that the two years conducing learning environments provided have been effective in stimulating cognitive learning and motivate students for ethical practice that fulfilled the industrial expectations.
