Abstract
This paper provides a unique perspective, as it is a collaborative effort between engineering, business, and information science and technology faculty to assess the gap between perceived professionalism in students and potential employers. The goal of the study is to outline similarities and differences to enable the faculty in various areas of study to better prepare students, through curriculum efforts, mentoring, and advising, for future employment. The study identified differences in ways students look for potential employers and how employers recruit potential new hires. Further, the study outlined similarities and differences in how engineering, computing, and business students perceive professionalism behaviors differently than hiring employers.
