Siegfried Rouvrais et al., « Work-based Learning Models in French Engineering Curricula », HAL-SHS : sciences de l'information, de la communication et des bibliothèques, ID : 10670/1.kltpso
In the 90s, the French engineering education accreditation body introduced in its quality standards a compulsory internship period. Based on this national experience, this paper presents an in-depth background and description of the use of internships and apprenticeships models in French engineering education. The elements of analysis presented may provide some inputs to programme designers in other contexts. Thus, this paper proposes to extend the CDIO framework to systematically include Work-based Learning as integrated activities in educational programme, to better match industry requirements and student competency expectations as future engineers.
