Article Education With Experience: Assessment of a Co-op Model in Undergraduate Engineering Programs in Computing(IEEE Software , 2023-11) Nazlıoğlu, Selma; Turhan, Çiğdem; Yazıcı, AliA major concern among graduates of computing departments has been the discrepancy between the expectations of the software companies and the competencies provided by the respected departments. This ongoing problem, paired with rapid developments in computing, makes cooperative (co-op) education inevitable as it combines industrial experience with traditional education. The present attempt examines the co-op program conducted for the past 4 years at the Computer, Software, and Information Systems Engineering Departments of Atilim University, Türkiye. It assesses the attainments of the stakeholders of this co-op program, mainly students, academic institutions, and partner companies, in terms of product/project, familiarization, career, and employment opportunities. The results of the surveys conducted among students and partner companies participating in the program are given, demonstrating various benefits to all stakeholders.
