Satisficing: student needs and industry expectations [engineering education]

The authors argue that it is of utmost importance for academe to work with businesses and industry to find out their needs which are in effect the educational needs of students. Echoing this is an educational axiom which is a prerequisite to having a successful educational enterprise: a curriculum is valid if it promotes the fulfillment of significant human needs. This paper serves to explore the connection between the needs and expectations of industry, student needs, and the transition from higher education to the work environment.
