A Decade of Practice-Based Engineering Education

This study presents a quantitative evaluation of dual education at Obuda University, based on structured surveys conducted among students, faculty members, and corporate partners. The research aimed to assess the practical functioning of the dual education model, focusing on motivations, experiences, and perceived challenges across stakeholder groups. Statistical analysis revealed significant patterns in student motivation, gender differences, and the impact of mentorship and task relevance on satisfaction. Faculty responses highlighted the pedagogical implications of dual education, while corporate partners emphasized its strategic role in workforce development and knowledge transfer. The findings confirm the value of dual education in developing professional competencies and strengthening university-industry collaboration, while also identifying areas for improvement in scheduling, communication, and curriculum alignment. These insights contribute to the ongoing refinement of dual education and support its broader integration into higher education policy and practice.
