Abstract
In Spring 2010 we surveyed undergraduate students majoring in computer science or civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering participating in the cooperative education program, a semester-long work placement for academic credit. We wanted to compare the informationrelated skills they had with those they needed during their co-op assignments as a proxy for workplace expectations. We identified gaps in student preparedness which we are using to work with faculty and staff to address those needs strategically. This paper details three ways in which we are making use of what we learned: development of a teamwork workshop and a portfolio program as well as furthering integration of information literacy into the curriculum.
