Abstract :
The third generation of universities, often referred to as entrepreneurial universities, is expected to focus on education and training aligned with industry needs, while also enhancing graduates’ job-creating capabilities. In recent years, several regulations have been developed and communicated to universities by the Ministry of Science to support this goal. This article introduces and reviews regulations related to core skills and industry engagement in the country’s engineering fields, categorizing and comparing them into three main areas: (1) participation in short-term and long-term industry courses during the student period, (2) designing optional skill-based courses within students’ curricula, and (3) defining theses in accordance with industry needs. The first section examines internship courses, technical assistant regulations, industrial scholarships, and co-op programs, comparing their respective conditions. The second section discusses regulations aimed at improving undergraduate employability, including skill courses and associated requirements. The third section focuses on professor-oriented regulations supporting industry engagement.
