We concluded this study with a nationwide questionnaire administered to the science and engineering department of a university and the technical department of a company. The survey’s goal was to verify whether there was a mismatch between the content of academic education and the education desired by industry. While both sides indicated a consistent overarching opinion, some details were different. For example, academic education paid more attention to imparting professional capability and knowledge, while industry desired that more importance be placed on general capabilities and broad liberal arts education. We hope that this survey data will be helpful in the promotion of industryacademia collaboration and reform engineering education in the future.
