TL;DRAbstract

Teaching effectively engineering lessons in class requires a good teaching skill but preparing the undergraduates especially the graduating students with employability skills is indeed a challenging task. In the context of Malaysia Technical University Network (MTUN), the graduating engineering students are expected to be good both in academics and the soft skills in particular of being ready to work as engineers. This is in line with the National Graduate Employability Blueprint 2012-2017 published by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. One of the approaches of getting the knowledge of being an engineer is to learn and experience it from the engineers themselves. It is an advantage for students if the lecturer is an engineer himself preferably with a long attachment in the industry. However such experiential learning is feasible if the university lecturers have exposure to industrial experience as engineers and the students have certain level of fundamental knowledge to maximiz
