With many graduates, but limited positions in the workforce, it is imminent for graduates to possess employability traits. Employers also expect the students to learn a multitude of skills and abilities, on top of knowledge of accounting, while studying in the university. To reduce this gap, a student development framework, the APAcS Star was established. APAcS Star aims to bridge the gap by arming students with essential interpersonal skills. Based on three core Skill Areas, namely Critical Thinking, Communications and Leadership skills. APAcS Star is executed by further breaking those Skill Area into Traits. These traits connote an element of a Skill that, by mastering a number of those smaller Traits, will lead to a mastery of the major Skill. All the Traits from the three Skill Areas are smartly placed in events, starting with ‘Knowledge Gaining’, then progressing to ‘Knowledge Applying’ and ‘Knowledge Assessing’. In 2016, 31 students graduated with an APAcS Star certificate. In 2017 and 2018, the final assessment was further enhanced into two categories, the idea pitching assessment and interview assessment, whereby 19 and 10 students respectively were awarded the APAcS Star certificate. The APAcS Star certificate increases the students’ chances of gaining employability upon graduation. In conclusion, this framework was able to assist the higher education provider to craft and develop a multitude of skills and abilities of its graduates, thus reducing the employability gap. Keywords: Communication skills, Critical thinking, Graduate employability, Interpersonal Skills, Leadership skills 5 INTRODUCTION Lifewide education is an educational concept that recognizes that learning occurs in multiple contexts within a learner's life such as school, home, work and other platforms. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to create this lifewide education atmosphere not only through formal, but also non formal and informal learning to encourage, support and recognize students' lifewide learning. Furthermore, technical knowledge on its own will not be sustainable, therefore, it is necessary to update knowledge and competency in line with lifewide education. This will ensure learners remain relevant despite huge changes in the global environment. For example, Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) itself has frequent updates to syllabus and study guide which tend to focus on the changes in technical knowledge due to the exam oriented environment. Therefore, there is a lack of focus on soft skills through formal learning education and it is a skill that needs to be acquired not only through formal learning but also by other means. Department of Professional Accounting Studies (DPAS) has three missions which are graduate on time, graduate employability traits and becoming chartered accountant in Malaysia. This is to support national agenda on producing and increasing bumiputera professional accountant by year 2030. The graduate on time and graduate employability traits are achieved during the learning phase while the latter will be achieved with three years working experience. Specifically, graduate on time is achieved when students pass their exam in stipulated time. During this period, students will gain all the technical knowledge needed to join the workforce. In order to continue supporting our students on-going journey, DPAS has developed APAcS Star framework to ensure they are equipped with the employability traits that will make them relevant to the industries. This issue of graduates' employability is one of the main concerns that were highlighted for quite some time. One pressing issue that needs focus is the existence of a gap between 'the level of competency expected by employers' and 'the level of competency presented by graduates'. This gap is known as the ‘Employability Gap’. APAcS Star program wishes to bridge the gap thus making graduates more attractive and relevant to the market. APAcS Star is a yearlong program designed to equip graduates with critical 6 APAcS Star: Promoting Graduate Employability Traits interpersonal skills to maximise graduates’ employability chances aligned with industry’s standard through industry integrated events and activities organised by the Association of Professional Accounting Students (APAcS). APAcS, a solitary student body that facilitates the welfare and development of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam’s professional accountancy graduates. APAcS has been actively helping to produce competent graduates fit for the corporate sectors in the country. Thus objective of this paper is to explain how APAcS Star programme addresses the employability traits issues that will make them relevant to join the workforce. LITERATURE REVIEW The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) is the global organization for the accountancy profession. The organization supports the development, adoption and implementation of international standards for accounting education, ethics, and the public sector as well as audit and assurance. The body also addresses the importance of accounting graduates to possess employability skills to encourage high quality performance by

  • A Survey of Cdio Implementation Globally – Effects on Educational Quality
    A SURVEY OF CDIO IMPLEMENTATION GLOBALLY – EFFECTS ON EDUCATIONAL QUALITY Johan Malmqvist Department of Product and Production Development Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, SWEDEN Ron Hugo Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering University of Calgary, Calgary, CANADA Malin Kjellberg Division of Engineering Education Research Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, SWEDEN ABSTRACT The CDIO approach to engineering education was introduced in the early 2000’s. Some universities have gained considerable long-term experience in applying the approach, and consequently it seems timely to summarize and evaluate those experiences. This paper thus reports the results of a survey distributed to all members of the CDIO Initiative in October 2014. The aims of the survey were to: • Map out where and in what programs/disciplines CDIO is currently applied • Evaluate the effects on outcomes, the perceived benefits, the limitations, any barriers to implementation, and ascertain future development needs Forty-seven universities from twenty-two countries participated in the survey. The main findings from the survey include the following: • The most common engineering disciplines in which CDIO is implemented are Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Engineering. However, many CDIO schools have also implemented CDIO in Industrial, Civil and Chemical Engineering. • The main motives for choosing to adapt CDIO are; ambitions to make engineering education more authentic; the need for a systematic methodology for educational design; and the desire to include more design and innovation in curricula. • Most CDIO implementations successfully achieve both goals for learning and for external recognition of educational quality.

  • Cdio Faculty Development Course – Built-In Implementation
    CDIO FACULTY DEVELOPMENT COURSE – BUILT-IN IMPLEMENTATION Panagiota Papadopoulou, Kanishk Bhadani, Erik Hulthén, Johan Malmqvist Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden Kristina Edström KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT To successfully implement the CDIO approach in engineering programs, a holistic approach is required, connecting the philosophy of the program with teaching and learning activities in the courses. One influential component in this interaction is faculty members and their competence in providing integrated learning experiences, in using active experiential learning methods, and in assessing student learning (CDIO Standard 10). As an effort to support such faculty development, a group of universities has been conducting activities directly aiming to enable and drive CDIO implementation in the participating universities (mainly within the EIT Raw Materials programme). In this paper, we will continue reporting and critically reflecting on these CDIO-based faculty development endeavours. Initially, a faculty development course was launched in 2016 at Chalmers University of Technology and offered to participants from other universities (Bhadani et al., 2017). The paper starts by outlining the adaptation of the course into its second version, followed by investigating the experiences from the first group in 2018. The course was designed to suit both experienced and novice faculty. It offered a staged introduction to CDIO implementation alternated with sessions in which participants worked on their own course development. The rationale for this design was to increase the direct usefulness for the participants, in that they should feel engaged and involved during learning and be able to immediately apply their learning to their own course. To estimate the impact of the course on participants’ actual course design and implementation, participants’ final presentations and feedback were analysed.

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL STAFF COMPETENCIES VIA INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE Gareth Thomson Mechanical Engineering & Design, Aston University, Birmingham, UK Lisa Gommer Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands ABSTRACT CDIO standards 9 and 10 require institutions within the initiative to work toward systematically supporting and developing the teaching and the more general competency of their faculty. Conventionally this is assumed to be the academic teaching staff responsible for the curriculum, learning outcomes and assessment on a given programme. CDIO by implication from the other standards requires significant involvement by students in practical projects and experiences all of which typically involve the use of technical support staff. While technical staff will generally not be directly involved in designing curricula or setting assessments, they are often a key contact point and enabler of the students learning experience particularly with regard to many practical or problem solving competencies desired within programmes. Despite their importance, the opportunities and support given to technicians to enhance their competence, particularly with regard to the learning process and student engagement, can be quite limited. This paper describes an effort by CDIO partners the University of Twente and Aston University to trial an exchange visits scheme to help encourage and support our technical staff to gain new perspectives, have opportunity to develop, to build a collaborative network and share best practice. KEYWORDS Technician, Exchange, Faculty Development, International Standards: 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 INTRODUCTION CDIO standards 9 and 10 require institutions to systematically support and develop the teaching and the more general competency of their staff. It perhaps could be argued that these standards are some of the trickier ones to implement thoroughly and attract less attention than they should within the community.

The framework stresses the engineering fundamentals in the context of Conceiving - Designing - Implementing - Operating real-world systems and products. The model has been adopted by CDIO collaborators and has expanded its scope to well-known international research institutions around the world and to other non-engineering study programs. The CDIO model is regarded as a potential approach to improve training quality and satisfy increasing requirements of employers based on determining graduates’ education standards, and to develop training programs and plans. At Ha Tinh Univerisity, Vietnam, the CDIO innitiative has been applied since the school year 2016-2017 in different undergraduate study programs including engineering and non-engineering ones and it has proved to be rather effective.
